Hi, Every year our block has 1-3 fawns born and the mother deer are protective for about 3 weeks, and especially aggressive towards dogs. At the very end of the birth cycle last spring 2024, the city put a couple signs up to warn the dog walkers off our block. That would be wonderful to have again this year - our first 2025 fawn must’ve been born today in the backyard of mine (808) or my neighbor’s (810) backyard on S Fess. If we could please have 2 signs for the next month or so to post out front at the ends of the block, that would be very helpful. Some folks know the drill and move back quickly and others take less effective approaches that endanger themselves and their dogs. Thanks! MaryAnn

A resident named Sam Maurer who lives in Poolside Apartments has a dog who he does not properly take care of. I am not sure of the dog breed but it is a medium/large sized dog. Whenever I have been over to his apartment, the dog (named Mister) pees on the floor because his owner does not take him for walks. When Sam sees that mister has to pee, he puts him in the shower instead of taking him out for walks. It breaks my heart to see a man who can’t even take care of himself own a dog. As mutual friend of Sam’s, I was only around Mister a handful of times, the rest of the information I know about how is treated is from his best friend.

To City of Bloomington, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out on behalf of myself, my roommates, and our neighbors regarding a growing concern in our neighborhood. Every evening, around 4:00 p.m. and continuing through the night, we experience an influx of hundreds of crows flocking to our street and surrounding area. This results in a significant accumulation of bird droppings on our cars, as well as on nearby properties. The volume of droppings has become so excessive that it poses a risk to residents walking or entering their vehicles, as the droppings frequently land on people and properties. While I understand this may sound unusual, the situation has persisted for over two weeks, and we are becoming increasingly concerned about the potential health implications. The sheer volume of droppings is difficult to understate, and we believe it could lead to further issues if left unaddressed. The attached PDF includes proof of others cars as well as a photo of just one area of trees where the crows sit for hours. We would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance on how this matter can be resolved, as we feel it is beginning to impact our quality of life. Thank you for your time and attention to this issue. We look forward to your response.

There has been a group of (potentially homeless) people that have been staying at the corner near the building, I’ve always tried to avoid them while walking my dog but tonight their dog ran all the way across the street and attacked my dog. While security has told me not to walk my dog in the park past closing time they have driven past the group with the aggressive dog several times and not done anything. If Bloomington wants to enforce park hours then they need to do it to benefit safety as there are many people who walk their dogs near there every night, and having a 100 pound dog attack your dog is not good
