See case #201442 (https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=201442). Given that the fiber optic project is now "on hold" (= bankrupt?), can the City step in and correct some of the damage they caused? They drilled a hole in the SW part of the intersection of Dunn/12th. It is dangerous, since there are no sidewalks on Dunn and lots of people wander through this area at night on their way to and from The Standard" via the RR. Someone is going to get hurt if the hole is not filled soon or an animal might fall in, and since there appears to be a void beneath the street right at this location, a collapse could occur if a heavy vehicle were to drive directly over it.

Not clear if this is the responsibility of 308 or 310, but there is a weedy tree on the south end of the property line between these two lots that has grown out a lot, so much so that it is hard to drive down the alley at this point, especially when there are tons of cars parked back there.

Just a suggestion for the next time any work is planned for Grant Street: At the intersections with both 8th and 9th streets, there are some storm sewer grates alongside the road that are too accessible, in that their design is completely open, with only a single metal bar across the openings. This allows animals and large pieces of trash to flow into the storm sewers. All the other grates in the neighborhood are more enclosed and safer. Might be good to switch these old ones out with ones that are similar to all the others and safer. Even a very small child might be able to fit into a couple of them, because the cross-bar on some of them is bent so much.

More tree-of-heaven for HAND to deal with. It is coming up on the west side of this house, as it has done for years. Only a few feet tall at present, but it must be eradicated because it is a prohibited plant. While there, you might check the dense overgrowth between 300 and 306 E. 11th. There could be other prohibited plants lurking in that mess - maybe bush honeysuckle. But be careful of the retaining wall along Lincoln - it's just about to collapse.
