The south-facing reflector sign in the traffic circle at 6th and Oak has been painted with the "Vain" tag that has appeared all over town. It has been there for a while now (a few weeks, perhaps). Thanks!
The trees and brush along the east side of Walnut reduce visibility for drivers turning from Blue Ridge Drive onto Walnut. These were trimmed recently, but have become a problem again after all the rain.
White Cadillac SUV blocking sidewalk on Washington between 6th and Kirkwood
all recyclables must be in cart
Trash lying on sidewalk and strewn around north side of property.
I would like to ask the City of Bloomington to begin considering steps to put ordinances, rules, regulations on these Bird Scooters that have infiltrated our city. I have seen almost every person riding in violation of the safety rules the company urges. There have been two people on a scooter, all of them without helmets, and riding on sidewalks/all over campus. They are getting parked on campus bike racks, cluttering up side walks, and generally are unsafe and without any kind of ordinance in place, could only cause potential risk to both car drivers, pedestrians, cyclists etc. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45596449 There are known deaths on these modes of transportation. Indianapolis enacted an ordinance after unsafe crashes had occurred. Bloomington needs to be aware of the risk and make stations for these scooters with agreements on proper use.
cart contains unacceptable waste
Vegetation is growing over the sidewalk on the Maple Street side of house. Sidewalk is impassible the entire length. You have to walk out in the street. Looks terrible and is a safety issue.
Grass is over 8" long. Has not been mowed in quite awhile. Looks horrible.
Trash dumpsters behind Upstairs Pub, Falafel, etc. Email reads: "This is this morning behind Dunkirk Square. I feel that each tenant (upstairs pub, jimmy johns, falafels, wheel pizza, and Kirkwood Stacks) needs fined and we need to reach out to Bryan Rental (again) as this was the same case two weekends ago. I’ve spoken with the mayor on this type of issue and he wants us to keep issuing tickets every time we encounter this non sense."
