Fire Hazards

I spoke with a Brittany but before I could respond she closed the case number.
Dear Audrey Brittingham,
Thank you for your response regarding Case #209518.
I would like to request that someone visit the site to inspect the designated smoking area and the cigarette disposal containers. Because the apartment complex has established a permanent smoking area immediately outside this non-smoking building, violations are constant and can be observed at any time.
The police have responded to this location multiple times due to fires caused by smoking. They informed me that this is a government or HAND (Housing and Neighborhood Development) issue; however, each time I report it, I am referred to a different department.
Is it possible for a representative to see this firsthand without me calling the non-emergency line? Additionally, would the Health Department be able to assist, or is there another official who can verify the proximity of this smoking circle to the building? I have numerous photos available to provide as proof if needed.
I look forward to your guidance on who can specifically address this ongoing safety concern.
Best regards,
Jessica Hanna

Smoking Violation

There was a small fire 2 days ago started in the grass area of property of Governor Park Apartments and the trailer Court area. Its a smoking area where people go out to smoke. I live near there but not at the apartments. I see people who sit in chairs and use a green tin to put there smoke out and the butts are never put out. There was a guy passed out drunk at the can then later it started fire.
The can was smoldering. It does almost every night and it's right in the parking lot of the apartments so I don't know how this is legal because it's near a apartment complex. Fire department comes when called but the fires DONT STOP. The can is not a proper cigarette extinguisher and it's has been an ongoing problem that I'm afraid it's going to start field on fire that goes into my property.

West Entrance Door is sticking, went to leave for the day and the door was wide open and I couldn't close it. Rubbing on the top frame of the door. I was able to get a small step stool and help push it down to close it. Put up signs to inform.

I am currently attending the virtual City of Bloomington Board of Park Commissioners meeting via Zoom. I am disappointed by the city’s negligence to make this meeting more accessible for those with hearing barriers. Why don’t ALL virtual city meetings have closed captions and/or live signing?
Potholes, Other Street Repair

This is more than just a pothole. The ground has opened up and revealed a kind of evacuated cavern under the concrete, sort of like a karst feature. It should probably be investigated by an engineer and not just filled in. It is in the alley directly behind (east) of the parking lot behind Bynum Fanyo on Walnut.

There is a row of storage units immediately to the south of my apartment at Brandon Ct. There is a space between the units and a fence that is supposed to be maintained by Henderson Court. As you can see by the photo (I can provide more), it appears that unhoused people use it as a place to sleep. The area is strewn with trash, and mattress/foundation, and I would suspect that drug activity is or has occurred in the space. Furthermore, several packages have been stolen off of my stoop by occupants of this space. Clearly, this poses a health and safety hazard.
I ask that the City investigate the area and assess fines and other sanctions against Granite, the listed property owners or managers. In addition to clean up and possible environmental remediation, I want the area secured in such a fashion that in the future no unhoused people can reoccupy the space. The Department may also need to contact Henderson Court for erection of a fence that denies access for the length of the fence that serves as the property line between Henderson Court and Brandon Court.
I would like the City

Are electric bicycles allowed on the 7-Line? Several times I have been nearly knocked over on my bicycle because a speeding electric bike zooms past without any warning going about 30 mpg. Seems like the bicycle-designated lanes should be for non-motorized vehicles.
