I previously reported an issue in case 193219. It has been closed and said fixed. I was back in Bloomington this weekend and saw 2 people trip again over uneven sidewalk. I previously fell at this location. It was not corrected. The area is outside park and Morton. It is located outside entrance of door that says 702, and directly by a tree and opposite window that has for lease on it. I am hoping it is corrected before someone gets hurt!

At about 8:30pm on 9/25/2024 a Marshall Security guy in a golf cart was blinding me and a friend with very bright LED lights as we were walking in Switchyard Park. This is unprofessional and unacceptable behavior the City must address with a contractor hired to keep the community safe. We were on a walking path that runs from the north side of the Skatepark to the B-Link crossing at Walnut. We were east of the skatepark and over the bridge before getting to the fence at Stryker Towing. This guy on the golf cart had his cart pointed from east to west in the middle of the path, right at us. The headlights are incredibly and painfully bright to look at in the night, causing us to shield our eyes to try to continue walking. He did not turn the lights off or try to angle away from us. He just sat there, pointing these very bright, LED lights right at us. The lights seem to be angled up and likely not the factory installed lights on the golf cart, something after market, intended to intentionally and knowingly render people unable to see as they approach.

Dog (Dallas) is often roaming out of yard and into neighboring yards and the street.

There are some compost bins set up by the mailboxes for several of the houses - they are actually closer to the home at 2516 S Bryan St than 2510 S Bryan, but they were erected by the homeowners of 2510. There is a general terrible odor coming from them, and it seems like perhaps some waste that isn't appropriate for compost bins may be the cause. (Possibly meat, chicken waste, other fecal matter?) We have also noticed an increase of insects and bugs in mailboxes and in surrounding homes.
Traffic Suggestions
206 S Jackson St

I would like to suggest that 2 speed bumps be installed on S Jackson St between 3rd St and 4th St. Drivers use this route as a shortcut when traveling east-west on W Kirkwood and W 3rd. They avoid the light at Kirkwood and Rogers to save time by driving fast on S Jackson St. The drivers usually speed along S Jackson St, making for a dangerous situation. At least, a study of traffic patterns on S Jackson should be conducted.

Hello,
On West 4th St, about 10-15 feet West of Rogers St, there is an indentation in the roadway, like a trough, that spans from the south side of 4th St, north to halfway across the westbound lane. I believe it should be filled.
Thanks!

The landowner at this address has installed DIY compost collection system of structures in the city ROW adjacent to the property. The compost is poorly managed with anaerobic odors detectable 1/2 block away. In addition the area is immediately adjascent to a city storm drain such that nutrient runnoff from the compost is a major immediate concern. They also have allowed the invasive, noxious weed Johnson grass to grow up in the city ROW areas nearby as well as elsewhere on their property.

Not sure which category this belongs under. Lying on the north side of 11th Street about 1/3 of the way from Lincoln walking towards Washington is a large signage support that was likely stolen from a construction site or utility project. It does not have a sign attached, it's just the support. Maybe the City can figure out who it belongs to (?)
