Trash left out Sunday night for pick up and now there’s a bag on the side of it and it is still full, even though the recycling was taken out
I am writing to report damage to our recycling cart that occurred during recycling collection this morning. We placed our recycling cart at the curb last night, and the cart and wheels were intact and in good condition. This morning, after our recycling had been collected, my husband went outside to bring the cart back to the house and found it lying on its side with one of the wheels completely broken off. Given that the cart was undamaged when we placed it at the curb and was found damaged immediately following collection, it appears the cart was damaged while being emptied or returned to the curb. We would like the damaged recycling cart repaired or replaced at no charge to us. We can provide photographs of the broken wheel and cart if needed. Please let me know what information you need from us and when we can expect the cart to be repaired or replaced.

TO: City of Bloomington City Council, Bloomington Engineering Department, Bloomington Planning Department RE: Placement of No Parking signs in the Matlock Heights Neighborhood COMPLAINT: The City of Bloomington has imposed an unneeded restriction. This restriction imposes a 24/7/365 ban on parking in my neighborhood and on the street in front of my house. The only days there is any parking problem at all is during football games with the top attendance. This complete ban to cover a handful of gamedays is extreme. In my personal case, no parking means that I have to park across the street and down aways, because across the street from me is an intersection. No parking there. And a fire hydrant. A driveway. No parking there. This means I have to cross the street with every load of groceries or anything I am bringing into my house, making it way more inconvenient and way more dangerous. I have been told that the fire department enforced this plan because when cars are parked on both sides of the street, emergency vehicles can’t get through. I want to point out that the residents in the neighborhood rarely park on the street. Everyone has at least a driveway, if not some kind of covered parking. The problem of cars parking on both sides of the street does not exist, except on those few game days.
Damaged car sitting on street for several weeks. Light grey Lexus. Front and rear bumpers missing, other body damage. No license plate,
Adding a no parking sign is even worse than not having one. There is already a terrible parking situation for the residents at Atlas on 17th. Bloomington’s parking situation is terrible and students are forced to park wherever and hope they aren’t getting a ticket. At least make it a pay to park so that some could still park there.
Following up on Case #214455 After speaking to Iris last Friday, who suggested I also file this report with INDOT using their INDOT 4 U system due to the complicated nature of the roads related to this issue, I did so on 9/25/26. I'm attaching here a screenshot of the quick response I received, also on 9/25/26, from Lisa Wisely, Customer Satisfaction Manager. Case 01312208 is now considered 'resolved' through INDOT. Thank you Kyle in advance for your assistance!
