This large-size gravel was placed by the city as a temporary solution to fill in a gaping crevice between our property and Acuff Road, so rain carried debris would not run along the road and cover our storm drain which is on the corner of Acuff Road and Kinser Pike. Resent rains have washed this gravel and now a considerable amount of it is in the road and poses a hazard for vehicles.
trash/recycling receptacles left on curb for weeks
A bike is very much needed in front of or near The Book Corner. There’s nothing available on this end of the block forcing people to lock to streets signs.
There is a dumpster in the alley behind Indiana Auto Sales (not sure if it is residential or commerical) that is not up to code for a business in Bloomington (no concrete slap, and no surrounding fence / wall).
There are two piles of trash that were dumped illegally in the alley between Washington, Walnut, Dodds, and Dixie. One pile is in the middle of the alley obstructing traffic (closer to Dixie), and the other pile is closer to Dodds.
#172549 Query the status of the repair to the hole at the Hunter Foot path in the Eastside Neighborhood. The hole is getting bigger and foot and bike traffic will pick up when IU starts and somebody will fall in it and break their leg.

Catalent's new construction is ~ 24/7 this results in near-constant beeping from the backup warning on their equipment. Today, the beeping was going at 6am , it runs to ~ 10 pm; including on Saturday and Sunday. Isn't this in violation of the noise regulations in town?
By the warehouse along the Bline: The lack of adequate facilities for the homeless population in Bloomington, combined with all the overgrown vegetation, and potentially the use of the warehouse as a shelter, has resulted in ~ 10 cars being slept in overnight. That part is fine. However, there are no facilities for people to use the restroom, which results in the vegetation (behind the warehouse) and along the Bline being used as a latrine. Can Bloomington please pay attention to the homeless issue and take it seriously? Covid is not going away there must be facilities for people to use the restroom and throw away their rubbish. Currently, it's thrown all over the street on Hillside. Portland built tiny home communities to help with the homeless population, others offer hotel rooms, still other cities provide YMCA-type facilities. Bloomington continues to take this problem seriously and help this critical component of our community! With regard to restrooms in particular, given our current pandemic, safe and sanitary options for human waste are essential. We still do not know whether coronavirus can spread through human feces. Given that we live on karst topology, it is crucial that people aren't pooping outside (never mind walking through it and the horrid smell).
We recently moved to this address and have had a lot of boxes and Styrofoam to throw away. Our trashcan is so small, trash and recycle got picked up today and they are both already full again. Is there a place we can go to dump them or can we get a bigger trashcan?
