The new bus stop is not being maintained. The garbage can never has a bag in it, is missing the lid and is never cleaned out. Our shelter staff and clients have been keeping it as clean as we can but that is not in our budget to continue supplying garbage bags and labor.
There are two old mattresses that have been on the front porch of the house for at least a year, maybe longer. This is not only a health code violation, it is unsightly and neighbors should not have to look at it. The City of Bloomington makes it pretty easy to properly dispose of large household items. I have also seen more than one possum run under the front porch.
There trash laying on the sidewalk

In #205630, 9-11-25, regarding shoes on wires on power lines in front of Ted Jones Playhouse, I incorrectly listed address. It is 107 W 9th.
FYI - Regarding https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=205604 - My wife and I collected 1 full city provided blue trash bag of trash on 5th and 7th between Union and Hillsdale after the trash pickup. Many residents of Green Acres are still leaving bagged trash, which is scattered by wildlife, or left, and sometimes in the road having missed the target when being dumped.

This building has had a rat infestation for the past 10 years. The building is managed by Granite Student Living. There are bait traps placed around the building but these have not been helping. The rats are coming into the house, they are in the walls, and they are even entering living spaces through holes in the floor and holes in cabinets. The rat population at this location is growing due to the condition of the dumpster on site (see attached photo). The dumpster sits open with no lid, is often overflowing, and sits inside a wooden structure that the rats are using to climb up and into the dumpster. The house itself has not been completely sealed up from the outside to take away access points either. Additionally, there is no lighting in the back parking lot between the house and the dumpster, which creates an environment for rats to thrive, and also presents a safety concern for tenants. Granite has been made aware of these concerns but they have already stated "there are no plans to change lighting or the trash situation." Please have this matter looked into.
