At the corner of Valley Blvd and Cedar Ave, there is a landscaped area with a large sign that says City of Bloomington Welcome, with benches and a tribute to the high school class of 2020. The plants that were put there as part of the landscaping are DEAD OR DYING. There is garbage everywhere. There is a shopping cart filled with trash and filthy blankets. There is an ad for repossessed houses real cheap on metal stakes stuck into the landscaped area. Can you water the plants? Remove the garbage? Maintain it a little bit? It looks like an urban wasteland and is not a fitting tribute to the high school class that just graduated nor to the "City of Bloomington". It looks terrible. How hard is it to water and pick up the garbage twice a month? Also, along Cedar Avenue from there going, I guess, north toward the Fontana Courthouse on Arrowhead, visible along the entire way are usually mattresses, couches, refrigerators, today a poor little dead PUPPY in the middle of the road, GARBAGE everywhere, dead tumbleweeds on the sidewalks, broken baby strollers, automobile SEATS apparently removed from the interior of the car, blown tires for, apparently, big rig trucks. I dont know, the tires are so huge they look like truck tires. We see this detritus EVERY SINGLE DAY for months on end. How are you not aware of it? if you are employed to maintain the streets, maintain them. And please don't tell me it's not your jurisdiction. Just pass this on to whomever has jurisdiction over the aforementioned areas. People are trying to walk on these streets, especially in the early morning, trying to get some exercise. Should children have to grow accustomed to this kind of urban landscape, to think that this is the best it can be here? PLEASE WATER THE PLANTS that were put in the little landscape by the freeway. Or else take them out and give them away. Thank you.

The south end of the sidewalk in phase 2 near the gazebo is sinking. There is at least 20 inches of no dirt below the sidewalk, hence it is sinking. The sidewalk is next to the sewer drain where the earth has disappeared and with all of the water problems we have had recently with water mains, the city needs to come inspect. One city worked thought this drain runs right next to departed neighbor Cassie Howard's condo which then should worry us as the ground beneath her condo also disappeared causing her slab to sink and foundation to go bad. These two problems could be connected and the area below the sidewalk cannot simply be filled in with dirt. It has to be inspected including a city inspection. We need to see why it is all sinking.

I am very happy that the sidewalks in our neighborhood are being fixes. There is one dangerously uneven spot that I do not see marked with the white arrows. Would you please look at the area more or less in front of 2286 Sweetbriar Court? I am one of many walkers who have to walk in the road there.

There's a precarious dropoff (7-8') into the drainage creek just a few feet away (east) from the sidewalk on RCA Park Drive just north of Countryside, and a few yards into Susie Street. A barrier of some sort to provide added safety would be advisable. Thanks!

Please put in crosswalks here. This is a dangerous intersection and there is a lot of foot traffic here. I had to jump out of the way of a car that came within a few inches of hitting me when I was crossing when I had right-of-way. Also please extend the sidewalk north of here on the west side of Kinser Pike; it stops at the Midas property line and people have to cross to the east side of Kinser for a sidewalk or they walk along the road or in people's yards.

Large patch of ice on sidewalk between mall entrance off of College Mall Ave, behind BJ's brewhouse. Slipped and took a pretty bad fall there today around noon and I'd imagine others have as well.

Hello, I'm a resident of 864 S. Romans Way, Bloomington, IN 47401. There are a couple of broken tree branches in the sidewalk in front of my house. I have put them away, but I'd appreciate if the city can take care of them at earliest convenience. Thank you.
