At 731 S Parkway Dr the yard is extremely unkept. Grass not mowed, weeds are high, shrubs so overgrown you can’t see front door, they are as tall as the house, up to the gutters. Back yard is overgrown also. Neighbors are concerned. You can see a kiddie pool surrounded by weeds. The driveway has junk cars with flat tires and a dumpster is permanently in the driveway. If the inside is as bad as the outside it is unfit to live in especially for children. Please do something. Neighbors know this has been reported for years and nothing changes. I would think the school bus driver would report it. Summer time people take walks and everyone sees this run down property. Pest control services in the area told us they wouldn’t go back to the house it was so bad inside from his view from the front door. The mailman has to see it. PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!!

City parks facilities should prioritize leisure above private enterprise. Please put a system in to reserve courts for private pay or ideally ban all together. Tired of Park Ridge East being used privately by private coaches. Thank you.

Since the storm there are multiple tree limbs still down. Last night a limb fell and is blocking the handicap parking spot and is a hazard hanging over the water fountain as well. Also the playground is a mess with tall weeds and thistle as well as in need for mulch.

I live on West Dodds street. Now that Rogers is closed there is a lot more traffic on Dodds. It could be because the yellow curb markings are fading, but folks are parking their cars on the street all the way to the 4 way stop sign at Rogers/Dodds. With cars parked like that when you enter Dodds and a car is coming down Dodds there is no where to go. I am an older driver and its scary entering my street. With the increase in traffic I am hoping that you can remark the yellow curb lines and hopefully keep cars from parking so close to the intersection. Thank you

Hi. All 3 ball fields at Bryan Park are in disarray. None of them are a complete field; each one is missing multiple bases, pitching mounds, home plate, etc. They are also a hazard to players and the overgrown grass makes it a challenge to see the bases that are still there.
As someone who regularly coaches kids and plays in adult rec league ball, it would be amazing to have at least one park in town that has decent ball fields open to the public. Thanks!

Bloomington Municipal Code - related to easements. "(d)Maintenance.(1)For features required to be in an easement, maintenance shall generally be the responsibility of the lot owner, except as expressly provided otherwise in this UDO or in the development approval."
This is largely ignored and has led to groves of invasive plants, weeds the size of trees, and overgrowth which hinders access in violation of the city code.

There is a bench next to the basketball court that is surrounded by beaten down dirt and tree roots. I would be more attractive if the ground around it was covered by wood chips.

About ticket #192627. You closed it with the comment that the contractor has filled the hole. The contractor has half-filled it with gravel that is quickly being scattered as folks park with a wheel in the hole. The hole is growing, and is a hazard. It hasn't been filled.
Thank you,
