The intersection of Burks Drive and Walnut Street needs to be crossed by pedestrians and cyclists fairly often, but there is lots of high speed traffic on that road. Pedestrians coming from the residential areas around Burks have no way to safely cross Walnut Street. The sidewalk on the east side of walnut is currently closed, but it is missing several sections even when it is open, so you can't even walk along Walnut to the crossing at Rhorer Road. This problem will be exacerbated by the new library branch. Residents east of Walnut will have no way to safely and easily reach the library except by car. There needs to be a light and crosswalk of some sort installed so that it is passable.

Large deep pothole at the crest of the hill on Rockport Road close to Pinehurst Drive. You must hit the pothole to avoid driving into oncoming traffic, risking damage to your vehicle.
Empty lot South of 2504 S. Madison has grass 3 feet tall. This is the second time I've had to report this already this year. Owners CONSTANTLY ignore their property and it looks abandoned 90% of the time.
Large deep pothole when cutting through between Jackson and Madison that takes up most of the narrow roadway.
Property owners at 2500(elderly) have multiple ramshackle sheds in their backyard, wired with power but undoubtedly not up to code. Their fence bordering 2504 is literally made from garbage and is falling apart into the yard of 2504. Its a Fire hazard and a pest hazard, I see raccoons and opossum going in and out of their shanty town sheds all the time.
Homeowners at 2502 have fence that is falling apart into the property of 2504. Their "sheds" in their backyard are wired for electricity but undoubtedly not to code. Not to mention the major health hazard from the raccoons and opossum that come and go from the shantytown as they please. Fire hazard, health hazard, eyesore.
The Project School of Bloomington is having a performance at the MCPL tonight, in their auditorium of sorts. The school previously encouraged parents to let their children sit in the aisles in lieu of seats(or in laps) to account for how packed they would be. At the performance, there are indeed children sitting in the aisle and making an emergency exit a lot more dangerous than it should be. Perhaps the occupancy limit hasn’t been reached, but it doesn’t seem ok for this to happen, especially considering they dim the lights and the only exits are down those stairs.
