Why have we had an empty big box store for years? Kmart. One of the biggest blights and we're letting a land speculator hold it or what? There's so much focus on other areas of the city it's neglectful to keep a giant empty metal warehouse by College Mall instead of putting the area to badly needed good use. Please step it up and put some attention to getting the area occupied and revitalized. Why are there all these meetings about the hospital that isn't even empty yet when we've had this massive empty structure for so long. Help please. Thank you.

An employee from hfi mechanical group filmed the children playing at the splash pad. If it’s for the city’s use I understand but if not I think it needs to be looked into.

There are not enough garbage bins on the b line trail. Between country club and the park, there is only one. There is often trash thrown on the trail in the trees. Even 1 more at the start of the trail on country club would be helpful. Thank you.

At the new parking garage being built on N. Rogers Street by the Mill, they start bringing their vehicles at 3am which wouldn’t be a big deal minus the warning sounds such as backing up and their horns. Can you please direct them as to the noise ordinance applying to construction sites before 6am? I live at the apts across the street and it wakes me up frequently at 3.

Two tulip poplars south of the baseball outfield have significant damage to the base of their trunks, possibly from lawn mowers. They look like they could pose a hazard. Can someone look at them?

Trash and recycle cans have not been moved from the curb for about 3 weeks. There also is a pile of sticks and branches next to them that has been sitting there for weeks. It won't be picked up because it is not a bound bundle, or in a bag/container. Repeat offenders: 1718 Circle Drive

After the corner of Winslow and Henderson was reconstructed, there has been a serious problem with the drainage after a good rain. As the photo shows, there is a significant puddle on the south east corner and it takes a long time for it to go away. Pedestrians take a risk going around the puddle. Thank you.

I was a bit disappointed with the dangerous traffic situation I had to navigate on Monday morning due to the City of Bloomington's careless job site. Grimes is being resurfaced it looks like. I was heading north on Dunn and came to the intersection with Grimes. There was no sign to indicate the road was closed. I could not go straight on Dunn across Grimes because a City dump truck and other vehicles had the road entirely blocked. I could not see traffic to the west on Grimes because a City street sweeper was parked right at the intersection blocking the view (and there was another piece of equipment behind it). I could just barely see the intersection at Grimes & Henderson to try to guess if traffic was coming from my east. The City had a big machine parked just east of Dunn on Grimes that had a dump truck backed up to it for tearing up the road surface. I made a decision to go for it, and turned out onto the wrong lane of traffic to go around the construction. There were 5 city employees in bright colors standing on the sidewalk chatting, just watching this traffic hazard. Other people were driving through trying to navigate the broken up road and the blocked streets, intersections, and egress without any assistance from the City employees on the job. This is dangerous. Just close the road! Or put some people in charge of directing traffic so we know when it is safe to proceed and not risk hitting another citizen or getting run over by the various machinery moving about. This was pretty ridiculous even by Bloomington standards (which, are actually quite low it turns out!).
