sidewalk partially blocked by parked semi trailer on the west side of fairview just south of 11th street. i think the address is 629 N Fairview. this is the same property as ureport #187248, but a different trailer. thanks to work by Engineering, this trailer has been moved from this spot before. but we haven't yet successfully convinced them not to repeat the behavior. thanks!
Excessive speeding (meaning more than 5 mph over the posted speed limits) continues on 17th St. This includes very large trucks (semis, construction trucks, etc.) and even some MCCS busses. Some vehicles go way over the speed limit. Suggestions for improving this situation? Even adding just one more mph sign each on both sides of the road might help (at least help those drivers who tend to drive more or less at posted limits).

the uReport website is not submitting my reports. After I hit the submit button, the webpage moves onto step 4 and says "processing your service request" and this step never completes. I don't get an email saying my report was submitting, and my reports don't show up in the online record of submitted reports.

Portapot and dumpster has been in the road for years. Owner is burying very large brush piles, several trees on city property along creek, this is occurring in a floodplain also. They have installed lights on the front and rear of home that are extremely bright.
uReport won't submit any ticket I submit that has a photo attached. It stays on Step 4 indefinitely, saying that it is submitting my ticket but never fully submitting it. When I remove the attached photo and resubmit, the uReport immediately submits and I get an email confirming the ticket was submitted.
Strong smell coming from factory on Hillside
The water company is a monopoly that runs itself like its the 4th Reich. They offer zero assistance or help, unless your unemployed and not trying to better yourself at all. If you just quit on life and being productive, then the city helps you. If your a hardworking man, that fell on hard times due in no fault to himself, that guy can kick rocks. His only option is to pay his bill in full or else. The water company actually put a lien for 200 bucks against a paid for home worth 225,000! My family has had 3 or 4 generations of perfect bill paying with water company. Just my gma, dad, mom, aunts and uncles have paid city of bloomington water for well over 250 yrs combined, and that garners you zero good will or even common courtesy. They can't even acknowledge they're screwing you over and be polite. They know they're the only game in town so they treat people like crap and it's not ok.
The water runoff from Sare Road travels down McCartney Lane to end in a very small drain that is not large enough to facilitate proper drainage. This photo was from yesterday‘s mild rain. At times the water is much deeper and standing longer because the drain is clogged. A larger drain needs to be installed or possibly an additional drain as well, further up the road. This may be leading to erosion of soil and possibly foundation issues and needs to be addressed soon. We are also due to have our road paved this year so the drainage would need to be fixed prior to that. Please advise.
