The city has removed a recent encampment by the corner of Wylie and S Walnut. The person camping and blocking the sidewalk along the wood fence by the second house from the corner on the north side of Wylie has been allowed to remain despite having built a permanent campsite with increasing belongings for many weeks now. This campsite is used daily including overnight which is against city policies.
The alley behind the auto dealership has misplaced trash and someone's recycle bin next to the garage there. This is the alley that goes north south between Washington and Walnut.
The people working on the fiber optic internet line left this hole in the road. There are lots of people who walk their dogs or bike in the dark, and I am worried that a dog will fall in it or it will cause injury to fellow citizens.
This car has been sitting here for months. We would very much like to have it removed. It’s gross.

Does the City of Bloomington/Parks and Rec have a lifeguard:patron ratio that they implement? As of 1:30 pm, there are about 30 people in the main pool (not including the deep end) and only one lifeguard on duty. This lifeguard was seated in an oversight chair on the south side of the pool. When I asked the four off-duty lifeguards about the ratio, one told me that only a single lifeguard was sufficient for the whole pool for the number of patrons. He also indicated that they did not need to close off the west end of the pool to reduce the scan area for the lone lifeguard. However, after that, he did ask the seated lifeguard to go down to ground level to scan the pool.
What are the safety protocols for lifeguards on duty? There are two lifeguards on duty for the main pool at 2:30 pm, but the elevated chairs designed for lifeguards to easily scan the pool are empty. Instead, both lifeguards are seated together, chatting on the staff bench. There are easily 60+ people at the Bryan Park Pool now and plenty of small children. Until this weekend, lifeguards at Bryan Park Pool used the elevated chairs all summer and rotated frequently. Follow-up to #192811: https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=192811

Tenants just dumped trash on curb and it has been sitting there for over two trash/recycling pickup cycles. The lot (two houses on one lot) has been a continual problem for the neighborhood with trash/debri and just in general inconsiderate neighbors.
Large stack of discarded furniture and debris is sitting in the yard at the edge of Dodds for an extended period of time. Need to be removed as it is unsanitary and unsightly.
