I fully support neighborhood-based urban agriculture. Being able to see, learn about, and easily access food is important to me. I value having GardenQuest as a neighborhood educational hub and GardenQ as a place where I can source nutrient-dense food and plants.
Hello. I am a Bloomington resident residing at 110 1/2 W 6th St. My apartment entrance is in an alleyway off of 6th between Walnut and College. While this alley has normal amounts of debris, there seem to be many unsafe wires dangling from the various poles and buildings. My main concern is with the alley behind my building. The entrance is off of Walnut between "Btown Diner" and "Samira" restaurants. There is an abundance of trash, grease, vomit, bugs, defecation, and cigarettes throughout the space that causes a repulsive smell and attracts many rodents. This is a very unsanitary environment that workers from the businesses(restaurants especially) on 6th Street take their breaks in. I am not sure the best course of action but I would suggest having the businesses clean their trash bins in addition to having the city power wash the grease and other various fluids off the pavement. I would appreciate a response. Thank you, Ryan

In light of a lot of recent attempted home invasion activity along this block, having street lights in the alley between 10th and Cottage Grove is a necessary safety measure. It is incredibly dark in the alley and a perfect target for home invasions.
Light Trespass Continuing problem Unshielded bright exterior lights trespassing neighboring properties
Exterior lights on this house are so bright it is hard to sleep, even with curtains to try to block out the light. It’s ridiculous, and it’s illegal light pollution. Please make them stop doing this. They are on all night.
Bright unshielded lights on east side of house left on all night. Light trespass interfering with neighbors and disruptive for bats and other beneficial animals. Constant violations from this property- please enforce!

The light is completely unshielded, glaring, very bright, with light trespass onto the neighboring property. The photo of the light was taken from inside the neighboring house to the south/ The light trespass onto this neighboring property from 2104 Woodstock place was measured by someone from the city, and confirmed, years ago.
