I have had to run the stoplight the last two days because motorcycle will not set it off. If I get hit, I will be suing the city of Bloomington!!

Near the intersectrion of northbound 45/46 and Discovery Parkway, there are three lanes. Right lane turns into the hospital, middle lane proceeds north as does the far left lane. In the middle lane, about four car lengths south of the intersection, there is a growing pothole that is likely only to get worse with the traffic it handles. This probably doesn't seem like much, but it is only a matter of time before it becomes serious.
In the alley between 8th street and 9th street along Lincoln and Washington, towards 9th street, this is a large pothole on the north side. Also there is some loose pavement behind 417 N Lincoln St.
trash bags piling up outside of residence, covered with tarp; becoming exposed: including food products and trash bags torn open. Problem is getting worse.
There is a large pothole by my driveway that has ruined the tires on the passenger side of the car. I have to buy new tires, but until the hole is fixed it will damage the new ones again. Your crew fixed Maple, but not West 4th last week.
Japanese knotweed on property speading into neighbor's yard.
"Tree-Keeper" database reports 56 Ailanthus altissima ("tree of heaven") trees being maintained by the City. Given this is an invasive plant and is known to be the primary food source for Lycorma delicatula (spotted lanternfly), should the City be obliged to remove these trees that are listed on the State list: ("Prohibited Invasive Terrestrial Plants [312 IAC 18-3-25]", https://ag.purdue.edu/department/entm/iisc/invasive-plants.html) ? If HAND is going to proactively threaten residents by "asking" them to remove something that is not on the State list (e.g., bamboo), it seems profoundly hypocritical for them to not address a serious ecological issue that they are helping to advance.
Retaining wall on NW corner of 10th/Grant is collapsing (on-going problem), and one of the large stones is now lying on the sidewalk.
Tree immediately in front of home on the street side of the sidewalk is in poor health. Most outer branches are not budding. Branches regularly break off during storms and I have concern that this tree as well as neighboring tree may fall at next significant wind storm. A previous report last year about this tree was marked as 'resolved' with a comment that it would be put on a list. However, I have no indication that this was ever followed up on.
Can you please turn the water fountain on at southeast park? Thank you.
