Not the best trash service this morning. I put nothing at the curb last night and this morning the alley is blocked by uncollected trash. The garbage container at far right belongs at 717 S Park and has been at the curb for more than a week now. The others belong across the street at 716 and are regularly retrieved.
Two days after trash pickup bins are still on the sidewalk (one has been on the sidewalk over a week)
This bin has been on the curb for more than three weeks now

There is no category for my issue, so I chose miscellaneous. Parking complaint. Mechanically inoperable vehicle without license plate has been sitting on the driveway at 717 S Eastside Drive for at least a year. Grey sedan, 4-doors, parked next to the garage door. Because this vehicle takes up a parking space on the driveway, one other tenant has to park in front of the house. That often means they are right across from our driveway. Sometimes we hardly can get out.
This is not a complaint about parking meters or a citation, but I could not find another category that fits my complaint. Referring to closed case #201015. Reason for closing this case is given as: 'vehicle is located on private property'. See attached text of the Bloomington City Ordinance, 15.04.020 6). It seems that the grey Dodge without a license plate, parked next to the garage door in the driveway at 717 S Eastside Drive makes a prefect fit. One of the tenants at 717 S Eastside Drive has confirmed that the vehicle is inoperable. Whether it is older than 3 years will need to be determined. The vehicle is visible from the street and has been there for at least 1 year. HAND thinks that this is Parking Enforcement's turf, Parking Enforcement refers me to HAND. This car takes up one parking space in the driveway, resulting in one other tenant having to park their vehicle in the street, oftentimes right across from 704 S Eastside Drive. Especially after snowfall, it is very hard to maneuver out of 704's driveway with a car parked right in front of it.

Resident (or visitor) driving a silver Ford Edge (IN-214EKW, I think) turned left (west) onto 11th Street from Lincoln and sped down the entire block against the one-way posted direction to get to Washington Street. This short block has no sidewalks and visibility is difficult given the mature, evergreen conifers in the area. People and animals are often walking in the street and are not expecting a careless driver to travel in that direction. This is definitely not the street to drive down the wrong way. Please advise this person that rules are there for a reason, and unilaterally disregarding them due to perceived inconvenience is selfish and uncivil, in addition to being a traffic violation.
