Does the city have a plan for taking in, and disposing of, our old trash bins and cans? Saying that "Residents are encouraged to reuse their old trash cans as yard waste containers" seems ingenuous. How long a yard waste season goes Bloomington have? -- 6 months? Where will I store 2 35-gal. cans and a 20-gal., plus the 3 bins currently used for recycling -- since my garage will be filled up with two 64-vallon containers?
Sidewalk & Curb Complaints
612–622 W Smith Ave

- 8/16/2017
Lack of curb from Smith Ave where it boarders my property is leading to water run off as it runs down Jackson St to collect on the back of my property. My husband and have put in a lot of time cleaning up this area from previous owner over-growth. The soft ground, combined with lack of curb is causing the property to erode away and cars to run off the edge of the road causing Smith to deteriorate. The area is strip about 30 ft long. If something could be done about this or to change how people turn right of Jackson onto Smith it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Went to the third street park with our child and the first thing we could saw was a couple with an open container of hard alcohol. As we were at the play ground it seemed they left but noticed they moved to the stage instead and were lying on their mats. It seemed they were living there. Our daughter usually likes to wander into the stage at some point but we had to tell her no and had to leave because we didn't feel safe. Mind you the police station is just behind this park and it seemed it was not being policed at all. People should not be able to use the parks as their residence. Could parks and rec please do something about this?
Parking Meters and Citations

Near 412 w. 4th street is a meter someone has abandoned their bike for nearly a month with a flat tire. They've hung their bike around the meter but you could easily just remove it. Could this bike please be taken as it obviously has been abandoned and should not be attached to a meter anyway.
Line of Sight

It appears that the "wildfowers" which were blocking the vision of drivers exiting Prospect Hill neighborhood on Euclid and Second street are back again this year!!!!! Sorry to complain again about the same problem, but it is a very dangerous effort to turn onto Second street from this corner due to the rise in the road which obstructs vehicles traveling from town toward 37 and with the patch of weeds growing next to the street, the oncoming cars cannot be seen until they are practically at the intersection. Surely the homeowner has not forgotten the complaint from last year, but it would be advisable to remind them of the dangerous situation before there are some serious accidents. Thank you for looking into this problem.

Our children, with 2 adult supervisors have to take a chance by crossing the street to go from the east side of S Highland Avenue to the west side of S Highland to go and enjoy the Winslow Woods park. Please paint a crosswalk on S Highland Avenue leading from YMCA entrance to across the street to the Winslow Wood Park. Will need to erect signage for motorists to see there is a crosswalk. Children and adults could safely cross the street and not fear for their lives.
