Our neighbors at 2400 s Madison often leave their dog outside all day, and it barks nonstop. It often gets out of it's fenced yard and aggressively corners people walking the neighborhood and lunges at other dogs on leash and people. I have called a live complaint to animal control recently, and my wife has in the past, but most recently the owners took the dog in their car, drove around the corner, and waited for animal control to leave and then came back, at which point the dog was immediately wandering around the neighborhood while they were inside ignoring it for several hours. The owners are clearly negligent and have not made any effort to protect others or this dog in situations where he is being aggressive and they have been asked to intervene directly and even become irate claiming the dog "has the right to" the neighborhood. Today I am writing this complaint because the dog has been outside barking every few seconds for the past 8 hours, and for the middle of the day was free and roaming the surrounding intersection. I do not see a car at my neighbors home and am not even sure if they are there.

One toilet (the non-handicap stall) in the women’s bathroom at Bryan Park is continuously flushing. Bumping the handle was not enough to un jam it.

Residents of this home park their cars on the sidewalk. When I try to use the sidewalk I have to walk in the street with my 3 year old son. Cars coming off of Rogers are not going slow around the turn creating a hazardous environment for people walking.

To Whom It May Concern, this is more of a recommendation than an problem. The pedestrian/bike crossing light on Allen St across Walnut is generally pretty good. Currently, there is a button to activate the lights on the sidewalks and wanted to suggest installing an additional button curbside for bikers. As it's currently constructed the median has two cut-outs so bicyclists can stay in the road (which is where we should be), but activating the light requires we ride up on the sidewalk. Most bikers, myself included, just keep an eye on the road to cross once traffic passes rather than hop the curb to activate the crossing light. The problem arises when a driver decides to yield; it's a nice gesture, but with two lanes of traffic in both directions it isn't safe to cross unless drivers in both lanes decide to yield and it's difficult to see over the stopped car to make sure the second lane is clear. I tend to wave the driver who has yielded to indicate they should just keep going, Bloomington drivers being Bloomington drivers they defer to being polite. A button positioned for bicyclists would make it clearer to both drivers and cyclists when it is safe to cross. This crossing point gets a fair amount of pedestrian and cycle traffic, but I don't think it is enough for a button to disrupt car flow on Walnut.
