Here are a few pictures of the curb cut issue on Clarizz by the entrance to Bloomingfoods. You can see that there are no ramps on either side of the turn-in to Bloomingfoods from Clarizz. Therefore, anyone wanting to walk to Bloomingfoods using a wheelchair would not have easy access. What you have to do is use the sidewalk across the street (which does have a curb cut) and then cross Clarizz to enter the Bloomingfoods parking area. The problem with this is that the traffic is very heavy on Clarizz, particularly so close to the intersection with 3rd St and this makes crossing, particularly for someone in a wheelchair, perilous. I'm requesting that the City add curb cuts to the sidewalk on Clarizz by Bloomingfoods to fix this problem. A less ideal fix would be to add a crosswalk to the other side of the street, but I really don't see this as a great solution.

Got this in an email from the local resident. It is about 805 N. Lincoln. They appreciate the police following up on the noise. I've reminded them to contact you directly. Now if we could get the city HAND department and the landlord to do something about the piles of trash outside that house...it stinks all the way to the street. Always something.

I looked over ordinances and the site at length and could not find what I was looking for. Is there some ordinance about people's animals taking a S@#$ on your yard all the @#$% time? A few folks are considerate enough to bring tools to pick it up, but we are finding this is not the case all too often. People walk their dogs and simply let them S@#% in our yard. This is nonsense. If it happened 1 , 2 times a year, so be it, but that is not the case. If there is no formal ordinance on such matters, so be it, but I thought I would check before anyone was confronted.

The streetlight at the corner of S Anita St and 1st St frequently turns on and off during nighttime hours, rendering the street very dark.

The streetlight at the corner of Jordan and Maxwell Ln frequently turns on and off during nighttime hours; this is a wide street and a busy corner, making this particularly unsafe.

Eighth Street is extremely poorly lit. From Walnut all the way to Fess there are almost no street lights and its extremely dangerous. I feel unsafe walking home from the IU campus at night, or even walking home from a restaurant in the evening. The lack of street lights in this area is simply ridiculous. The city of Bloomington has an obligation to make sure its citizens are safe and it is neglecting to do so. The area that is the subject of this complaint is the exact same street in which Hannah Wilson was abducted and murdered, and within the last month the exact same street has been the location of an armed robbery. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that something must be done to make this area safer. The city has a responsibility to do everything within its power to protect its citizens, and adding a few streetlights hardly seems like an impossible task.

Human feces along Clear Creek Trail My wife walks the Clear Creek trail every day in the morning. On several occasions she has noticed that someone has been defecating along the trail. She has noticed it around the first and/or second bench from the starting point at Tapp Rd. She knows it is not an animal because there has always been tissue paper left behind. She has also told me that the feces has been cleaned up from time to time and knows it's not a onetime incident. She has recently stopped walking that section of the trail to avoid the sight. Thanks in advance for looking into this matter.
