During the evening rainstorm of 7/10/2021, the storm water swale to the north of our home overfilled its banks and flooded our back and side yards. Luckily, the rain stopped before the water breached our basement window well, which happened July 18-19, flooding our basement. The storm pipes below these swales are obviously under-sized. We request a re-assessment of these swales by a storm water engineer to mitigate future flooding and the property damage we have already experienced. We believe repeated high storm water flow during the past several years has caused erosion of the swales and they are no longer able to hold current storm water run-off.

Said walk on south side of 14th Street just east of Woodburn avenue. This is the north side of the property at 922 North Woodburn. Completely obstructed by Bush going from the side. Also, it's supposed to be a 5-ft wide sidewalk but the minimum clear area is 3 ft wide because the hillside has come down on the sidewalk. That was a mistake when the house was built. It should have been rectified then. But maybe it should be rectified now.

Concerned about the children in the homeless camp under bridge at grimes and Morton. I know that the city refuses to address this issue, but can cps at least check on the small children living in this area?

The stoplight at Patterson and Fairview needs to be checked. Very recently, it stopped being triggered by traffic coming from Catalent or Fairview. Instead, it now turns red for Patterson on a timer, when there are no vehicles waiting on Fairview or from Catalent. When it turns green for Patterson, it lets no more than 4 vehicles through before it turns red again.

Hello, I've noticed a few things that need attention on some of our playgrounds while there with my toddler. 1) the gate to the small kids playground at Bryan Park has been broken for two weeks at least...my small daughter loves making the escape now. 2) more than once this month I've found dog poop on that same playground. 3) people without children have been loitering on the switchyard playground. Yesterday a man smoking a cigarette was playing fetch with his dog all over the equipment and people were driving motorized scooters through the playground. Another man was vaping. Between the tobacco use, unleashed dog, motorized scooters, and lingering adults without children I didn't feel safe letting my child roam and play freely there. I felt it would be best to bring these issues to your attention. Thank you for all you do! We really love visiting Bloomington's parks!

There is a large pile of trash at the home on the corner of 2nd and Rose that has been there for over a week. This seems to be a problem with a non-local owner perhaps? The house is across from the walking bridge between Rose and 2nd St. Thanks.
