The property adjacent to me 922 North orris has a huge tree, that I have tried to get them to maintain for nearly 5 years. A week ago a woman that was at the property said there was a new property manager and she would have him call me. No reply. I am disabled and can no longer continue to trim this tree off of the adjoining sidewalk. The sidewalk goes over to the try North swimming pool. It runs between our properties. This tree is so overgrown it's branches get on my roof onto my property all the way down to the ground covering the sidewalk. If we did not constantly trim this you wouldn't be able to walk down the sidewalk to get to the pool or the school. I am so tired of trying to resolve this, I've told the people that cut the grass every week nearly for two years and nobody's done a damn thing. I'm hoping you can help and find out who needs to trim this back. I believe it's rented to disabled guy who's pretty much a recluse. Thank you

Why isn't the traffic signal at W. Kirkwood and Rogers St set to flashing red while Kirkwood is closed. A 3-way stop would be much better than a light going through it full cycle causing back-ups on Rogers.

Crews working on gas line notified me this morning that M Street Fiber has run their line through my sewer and broken it and it is leaking. I was told by the Utilities department to contact Kyle Baugh to arrange repair but I have been unable to reach him or the main office by phone this morning. Per your voicemail instruction I am leaving this email and asking someone to contact me at your earliest convenience. The crews do not plan to fill the excavation back in until repair is made. Thank you.

Inaccessible Parking
1200 W 12th ST
- Case Date:

I am 62 years old, and this time last year I was just getting back to work after 3 1/2 months rest healing from a broken ankle.
When I moved in to 1200 W 12th St, I noticed the sign (photo #1). I even asked Bloomington Housing Authority about it. They said it would be okay to park in front of my apartment. I have been parking in front of my apartment since March 2024. No tickets, no problems.
It made it very easy to get to my apartment - load or unload my car - and I could keep an eye on it while in my apartment.
Today I get home from work (I work full time at IU as a custodian. Yes - I work FULL TIME and still need Section 8 to get a place to live) to see fresh paint denying me my usual parking spot. I had an ADA tag for a while, but it was temporary. It expired.
The problem is: I can’t see my car now unless I get up and look through the one window that lets me see my car. If I have to park farther away, I won’t be able to see it at all, and I will have to walk farther and across the street to access my car.
I am old, diabetic, autistic and cannot walk a far as I could before the broken ankle. After work, it is very common for my right ankle to be aching on top of the Diabetic Neuropthy I have in both feet in addition to my jangled nerves from interacting with people and handling emergencies.
This neighborhood can get a bit sketchy sometimes - it helped my normally high anxiety level to be able to see my car. My anxiety is already high from people walking so close to my apartment and cutting through my yard - can’t do anything about that so I live with that anxiety.
I don’t want to break the law, but this is so unfair! I already pay $828 a month for this tiny apartment - that is ONE WHOLE PAYCHECK. My rent is figured as 30% of my GROSS income. I pay quite a bit for my taxes and Insurance, and I have quite a few medical issues so I have to scramble sometimes to get bills paid and pay for all the drugs I have to take. I live paycheck to paycheck. I have to work so I have health Insurance. Even though I am 62, I can’t get Social Security if I want to live here because it would price me out of Section 8 and I would have to move (AGAIN - I just moved in here a year and a half ago). I can’t work less because i need Insurance from work until I reach 65 and can get Medicare (if it still exists by then).
If I have to park further away, then my ankle will be that much more achy when I get home. I’m going to see if maybe I can qualify for a permanent ADA Tag, but even then the 4 HOUR LIMIT would kick me in the butt. That doesn’t even take into account bad weather days or having to walk farther with loads.
Where I am currently parked in photo #7 would be a better ADA space. Usually no one parks there, and it is closer to the Boys and Girls Club.
Please help me.

Academy sports parking lot and adjacent entrance area continues to have various signs out near public road. Additionally, the landscaping is filled with invasives and is dead or missing. This is not what this looked like at opening and is not being maintained.
