Apparently the string used to bundle and carry all of my yard waste to the curb was not strong enough to meet the requirements for the sanitation department. Is there a particular type of string recommended so after the bundles sit in the ROW for 2 weeks I can make sure they can endure the process to make it into the truck? Thanks!
Our Bloomington trash bin has fallen apart and we would like a replacement or someone to repair it. We would also like to purchase a yard waste bin from the City of Bloomington for your fee. Thanks! -Alyssa Many
The only street light here has been out for a while. It is very very dark on this street at night. Hard to see anything without using a flashlight and there is night time foot traffic and I and my neighbors would feel more comfortable going outside at night if the light was operating properly.
Many invasive plants (mimosa, tree-of-heaven, burdock, etc.) growing on the south and west side of this house. Property is habitually unkempt, but the general lax enforcement for Parker Rental properties has resulted in this location becoming truly a serious eyesore.
On Saturday 17 May at 7:11pm, there was a vehicle parked right in the street without lights flashing and with no occupant - supposition is that it was a delivery person who thinks the rules don't apply to them. This is a *very* common occurrence at this particular location. Seems like with the police station so close, delivery drivers would hesitate to block streets like they do. Is it possible to talk to the management of the establishment about this? Or could there be an officer stationed there once in a while handing out tickets? I imagine you could make a lot of money for your office slush fund, and just doing it a few times might result in a long-term fix.
A car has been dumped in the yard behind this boarded-up home for what looks like years. However, now it is inviting others to dump debris near the car-including furniture.
Lots of junk lying around unprotected from weather in backyard behind the garage including an old, rotted-out VW sitting near the NE corner of lot, all clearly visible from street and alley.
North side of lot along alley is overgrown with huge vines growing up the trees (wintercreeper, ivy, etc.) that are a hazard. Also, bush honeysuckle and tree-of-heaven growing on east property line in the back near the alley, growing into neighboring property.
Sidewalk near NE corner of lot (along Cottage Grove) is becoming impassible due to invasive shrub overgrowth (an annual occurrence at this location). While they are cutting it back, they might as well also trim back the shrub on the SW corner of the same lot along Grant. It is just starting to be in the way.
