Sidewalk between the driveways of 417 & 423 E. University St. is almost unpassable because of encroaching woody plants. Also, sidewalk in front of 423 is encroached by vines, including poison ivy.
I would like to thank Officer Barnes , and also let her superior know that officer Barnes is a great police officer. I am from Chicago, and was visiting my daughter in Bloomington, unfortunately I was lost, and didn't know how to get back to her apartment. I met Officer Barnes as I sat in the parking lot of shopping center that has office max, dollar store etc. my daughter was at work, and I was stuck. Officer Barnes told me she could assist me in getting to my daughters apartment which was on Rolling Ridge street. I was so impressed with her helpfulness that I had to share it with her Police department. My daughter rearranged her work schedule to come and get me.
Bloomington police are paid to sit in their squad car all night, harassing anyone who may walk by. As a tax payer, this is troublesome to me. Is there nothing better these police officers have to do? Probably not. I hate to see my money go to waste on talentless individuals such as Bloomington police officers. I believe these police officers would not be able to solve even the most basic of crimes. This is why I would like to see my hard earned tax dollars deverted to worthwhile resources such as education, rather than officers who provide nothing to the community.

All Stop signs and speed limit signs on Henderson St., from Miller Dr. to 1st Street seem to be invisible because no one ever heeds them. I would think Police presence would help, but perhaps public works could do something to convince motorists that this is not a major, high speed artery. We have a school, a park, and many pedestrians. Yesterday (4/8/13) I saw a car, traveling 40-50 mph, narrowly miss a college student at the bus stop by Blacks Lumber. Also two children have been hit in the Templeton School zone this year. This is a problem.
Increased traffic patrol by officers in the North Maple area would be greatly appreciated, for a couple reasons: 1) In the N Maple/15th St area, there is a motorcyclist who loiters and frequents the area between the hours of 7-11, off and on, who speeds/squeals his tires up and down the street, revs his engine, and drives recklessly, seemingly for fun. This has been an ongoing issue for months, but recently has become an every day occurrence. It's currently happening right now, 7:50pm on a Wednesday, and woke me up from a dead sleep at 10:30pm on Monday. Aside from the loud, incessant noise polution, his reckless driving is going to eventually cause damage to life or property. 2) At the intersection of Maple and 11th, there is a three way stop that half the people in this neighborhood completely ignore. I've had more than one close call there during my morning commute. People tend to roll through the stop sign, and only slightly hesitate, in an attempt to beat out whoever is coming the other way. Aside from being rude, it's super dangerous. Please assist with these issues. It's become very nerve-wracking to live in this neighborhood lately because of inconsiderate drivers/bikers. I was hoping it would go away after school let out, but it appears to be a townie issue.
Tree limbs over sidewalk. 1515 E Maxwell Ln.
East Second Pedestrian footbridge. Overhanging shrubs. City's responsibility or adjacent home owner's?
Though this is not a sidewalk or curb issue, I saw no other category that would fit my complaint. Overhanging branches in the 1500 block of E University. They hang so low that I can't drive under them without hitting my radio aerial.
Hello. I live at 3210 Kensington Park Drive. For more than a year, one of my neighbors has kept a vehicle parked along the curb in front of his house. It is an old BMW and covered with a tarp. The vehicle has flat tires and is never moved. Not only is this unsightly, but interferes with city services such as leaf pickup, snow removal, street cleaning, etc. I do not have the address of the house it is in front of, but it is about 4 doors to the west of my home, on the same side of the street. It would be obvious to see when you turn onto my street. I'm not sure where to report this, so if this is not the correct department, please advise. Thank you for any help you can give to me.
