In the alley at 804 N College. There is a big pot hole the needs filled. There are several. But the big one is when you turn off off College into the alley. HELP. Thank you!
Polly Grimshaw Trail, east section, needs a trim, especially the west end near Pete Ellis Dr. Workers should be careful of the large growth of poison hemlock!
At the northwest corner of the intersection of college and 6th, one of the walk signals is burnt out.
There is a disturbing message spray-painted on a bridge over Adams St. that reads "visualize dead landlords." (It is the bridge that has Hoagy Carmichael's Star Dust song on it.) It has been there at least one month. It seems to me that it would be good to smudge it out. Thanks for your attention.
Switchyard Park is wonderful! Kudos to Parks & Rec. Two suggestions: 1 - Please install umbrella holders (or umbrella holders + umbrellas, but I recognize there could be more of a theft issue)at the wooden 'bleachers' at the pickle ball courts. 2) For both dog parks at Switchyard, erect shaded areas perhaps similar to the Ferguson dog park. Suggest two or three areas per dog enclosure. This could be esp. crucial for helping maintaining dog health during summer months. Also, install water hoses to clean dirt from paws + coat when play is over. Thank you for considering!
Glass on sidewalk and road. It has been there for at least a couple of weeks. Luckily I hadn’t had a flat on my bike yet.
On 7th street the construction has resulted in multiple stop signs being taken out. Every day I see cars spewing through which is ferrying especially at night when it is hard to see pedestrians because of the new bike lane. This neighborhood is where my friends reside and every day I fear for their safety. These stops signs need to be put back in immediately because of the danger they are actively putting residents and students in. Construction should not result in danger for safety.
This specific incident involved a Lime scooter, but I urge you to please ban ALL motorized scooters from Bloomington. My family and I were just coming back from the airport yesterday when we saw a young woman collide head-first into a car in cross-traffic (without a helmet because of course, none of these scooters come with helmets) because her brake stopped working. This was no one's fault but the manufacturers'. But given how much they make, I'm doubtful much will come out of it if she were to take legal action. There have been so many accidents (some fatal, as you know) in so many cities, including ours, due to these companies dumping scooter after scooter onto seemingly every busy sidewalk, and it is completely within your control to ban them here--after all, Indianapolis did. I would like to know your reasons for allowing them to continue to be used in Bloomington when we know how dangerous they have and will continue to be, as long as they are on the streets.. Just how many more accidents must we see and hear about until something concrete is done?

The city lot at 6th and Lincoln is a sheet of ice for almost the entire area. It's very treacherous for people trying to walk to and from their vehicle. Please put down some salt or whatever you use to melt ice. This is an accident waiting to happen. Thank you.
