Caller to HAND reporting that there is trash and other items in the yard and front driveway. Appears that tenants have moved out and left in this condition. Caller is concerned about rodents, raccoons, etc.
Trash on ground, sofa there for over a week
I approached the traffic light on Country Club and Rogers from the East around 9:50 p.m. on July 14. When I got to the gas station driveway the light turned red for me. There were no cars coming from the north and south on Rogers so it seemed that it was a timing change, not motion change. Several other cars arrived on Country Club from both directions and we sat there as the light cycled through the turn arrows and straight lights for Rogers. Having the light there change on a timing cycle does not seem like the proper decision. Want to add I love green arrows and motion sensors and the yellow arrows that were recently implemented around town so I think that's why this struck me.
There was an accident on our corner (9th & Walnut) this weekend. I didn’t see it, but heard it and saw the immediate aftermath. Looking at the positions of the cars, I guessed that the car that was hit had been crossing Walnut via 9th and was t-boned. When I looked at the stop signs on 9th Street, I realized that there is no indication for the driver that this is NOT a 4-way stop. These big crosswalks could easily make people think that it’s a 4-way. These 9th Street stop signs need “cross traffic does not stop” signs added to them so that drivers new to Bloomington can be safer.
Broken glass, needles, and other trash at the SE corner of B Line
I came home and the water in all my toilets seems to have like exploded all over the bowl... was there utility work being done today? Is my water safe to drink? Its kind of unnerving to come home to this without explanation.
A whole patch of highly invasive Tree of Heaven saplings have sprouted along the B-Line trail just noth of Dodds.
Rather than blowing the dust around this and other Bryan Park playground, perhaps park employees could weed the mulch. I think it looks OK, but a better use of employee time, I think. Or take care of the weeds on the various spruce trees along the paths. That latter item may already be on a regular maintenance calendar, but that too would be more useful than dust blowing.
The trees and bushes in the Rail Trail parking lot along Country Club Drive are getting rather overgrown. The branches and bushes are obstructing the pedestrian and bicycle path that goes along the east edge of the parking lot to connect the Rail Trail to the B-Line. Can this all get trimmed back? Cut it back far enough it doesn't just grow right back in 2 weeks. Thanks.
