Five dogs ran all around the yard, barking constantly, from 5 to 5:30 today at which time the two large dogs spent until 5:47 jumping against the back door to get back into the house. At no time did anyone come out of the house to look into all the noise being made.
Someone dumped a street light in our backyard. It is green, one of those old-fashioned types like on campus. There is a heavy base that looks like its made out of a kind of cheap pot metal, and a relatively light-weight though long vertical fluted column that seems to be made out of aluminum. The two pieces are separate, and there are no markings at all on either one and no electrical apparatus or fixture present, just the base and the pole. Is this something that belongs to the City that someone maybe stole and then dumped? Or does it belong to a private individual? Or maybe it is just trash that needs to go to the recycling center?

Trash cans left at end of driveway next to road.
I've always thought that I needed to suggest that some sort of "barrier" needed to be put in the large bike lanes as I've seen multiple people attempting to drive or actually driving down them (and I've even had to make a last minute movement when I realized the lane wasn't for cars and I'm from Bloomington and do a ton of driving downtown). The location I noted might not be the exact spot of where I just saw someone doing this, but it's the bike lane all the way down seventh St. Thanks for the consideration and I look forward to seeing this simple improvement soon!!
We have a vendor scheduled to replace a retaining wall at the corner of 2nd and Grant that is failing and bowing out. We sent the engineering department some concerns that we want to share here as well. 1. The stop sign is currently located approximately one foot from the retaining wall. There is concern that the sign may become unstable or fall once the wall is removed. 2. Once the project is completed, the bank will be lowered, which may require adjustments to the placement or height of the stop sign. Please let me know how you would like to proceed or if additional coordination is needed to address these concerns.
On the west side of Fairview Street, just south of the house at 701 West Fourth Street, there is a Jeep Laredo (plate # IN 896BZL) that has been parked for a very long time in the same place, maybe a year. So long that the right front tire is nearly flat. The vehicle is also parked very inconveniently for any vehicle exiting the alley that runs from Jackson Street to Fairview. The sight lines are already bad, but the Jeep narrows the available street space to turn left or right from the alley. The street would be much safer if the vehicle was parked closer to Fourth Street, but with the flat tire it is also presently an inoperable vehicle. Any help getting the owner to move it to a safer place would be appreciated. Thank you.
Dumpster behind 568 and by garage 1. Furniture left there and other garbage strewn around dumpsters and property. While here, drive by all the dumpsters on property. Trash here is a constant problem. This place needs stiffer fines because the issue is constant.
Re 1536 so Andrew Cir. 47401. #46187-002. We live at 1548 so Andrew Cir and own the adjoining lot which has a sprinkler system but no structures. It is undeveloped. Over the past three months we have been billed for a medium cart at $16.48 per month. We never ordered this cart and have been getting bounced from utilities to sanitation trying to resolve the issue. The city owes us $49.44 and we want this error removed from any future billing. Thank you Don Geyra
This gold Jeep, plate # TPV 176 Indiana, has been parked in front of my driveway (over the yellow curb lines) since last night making it difficult to see oncoming cars when I exit my driveway. Please ticket or tow, as this is always happening with some car or another. The car is there right now: 12:35pm, W, 01/14/26. - Thank you, ecb
