Writing to report a down tree on the Rail Trail. Pedestrians and cyclists probably won't have too much trouble going around the debris, but the entire width of the path is obstructed.

I am writing to report a harassment incident that happened on Saturday October 24 after the IU-Michigan game. My daughter and I doordash. I was parked in the alley on Kirkwood between Habitat and a church. We have been told by police and parking attendants, we can park in any alley except the one by Chipotle. A red vehicle pulled up behind me and the man driving started honking his horn and yelling at me. He got out of his car, stormed up to my car in my face demanding I move. I said I don't have to. He was cursing at me and yelling it was against the law. I said no it isn't, police have told me I can. He flashed a badge on his belt and said I'm an off duty policeman and I say you can't, I'll call for backup. I said go ahead. I was parked there about 5 minutes. When my daughter came out of SweetGreen he started verbally yelling at her. My daughter said I should have gotten his name, badge number and license plate number, but I was so rattled I didn't. We figured he was probably a security officer somewhere. He was average build, sort hair with a small beard. Probably around 40 to 50 years old. If he really is a policeman, he needs to be fired. Thank you for giving me a platform to complain.

When exiting the school to 17th street, the curb is at an angle that is hazardous and makes pulling out to the street dangerous. Could we consider more like a 45 degree for the curb? Otherwise when pulling out, cars are getting very close to the incoming traffics side. Plus curbing is too likely to happen with the current set up.

There is absolutely no reason that there should be a traffic light at this intersection let alone one that is basically always red

The legend on the plaque has disappeared. There was a photograph of my son Evan playing guitar and a short biography of his life in Bloomington. There was also a biography of the artist Mark.

Last week, we inadvertently placed our trash cans at the curb after the required 5:00 a.m. deadline, but they were out at least 10 minutes before the sanitation truck arrived. Despite the cans being ready for collection, the crew skipped them, seemingly because they had seen us putting them out late. I understand the city has rules, but refusing to collect trash that was already at the curb well before the truck arrived seems unnecessarily punitive and unreasonable, especially when collecting it would not have caused any delay. I would appreciate this incident being reviewed to prevent this from happening in the future.

Bland's towing was preparing to have my vehicle towed when my child upon the scene. My child offered to simply move the vehicle and the towing representatives said that if my child paid them $50 then the car would not be towed and my child could drive it away. The vehicle was NOT already attached to the tow truck. This is a clear violation of the towing ordinance since the car wasn't attached to the tow truck. My child prepared to pay the money and then take the car, but when my name was given as vehicle owner the tow rep recognized it as someone who knew that this would be in violation of city code and so they told my kid to just take the car. If my name had not been recognized in this situation, then the company would have fleeced someone out of $50. It is impossible to know how often this happens, but tow companies need to follow the tow ordinance and residents, especially students, need to be educated about local tow and parking policies. My kid didn't know what the law said, but as soon as I heard this story I knew that there would have been a violation since the car was not connected to the tow truck when my child came upon the scene.

We have some type of water drainage issue in our front yard and there’s a pool of water growing. There is no rain. There is running water from somewhere. In the past, we’ve had a leak underneath our street of city water.
