This is in response to ticket #192753, as well as several others I've seen/submitted. It does no good to have a ticket reporting system if NO ONE RESPONDS on the same day/in a reasonable time period. I submitted this earlier. If no one responds do the needs of Bloomington's people on a timely basis, then having this response system is COMPLETELY POINTLESS. Dunn St (over by the intersection of Indiana and 3rd) has been blocked off for days, and no one seems to care. If you aren't going to take residents' concerns seriously, then just delete these tickets and delete the tickets of everyone in Bloomington who counted on you to resolve these issues. I'm so disappointed in how the city has responded to the needs of its people. 430 S Dunn (the apartment building itself right there) and the road near 2537 E 7th St - are almost constantly LOUD or INTRUSIVE on other tenants' rights. I know all about "quiet enjoyment" and "constructive eviction" thanks to my lawyer. WHY does the city have a self-report function if no one responds within the same say or even the same week? My friend on Dunn St can't sleep because some of the residents are so loud and the company doesn't bother to change things. New residents at one of Pavilion's buildings (Poolside, 3rd floor) Either change would be much appreciated, but I'd love for tenants in this city to have rights respected by their landlords. Do something.

Referring to closed case #192360. Excessive growth on the Hunter foot path (between S Mitchell Street and Eastside Drive). A warning was given. To whom, we wonder? It looks like this foot path is city property, so should be maintained by the city. Nothing has been done as of Saturday, August 10,

'Davis Family Music Lessons' sign at the corner of E Third and Woodscrest, near the Walk-in clinic in the grass. The Elevate map shows that the property line does not extend to the foot path. You have to decide whether this is in the ROW or not.

Hi, I am hoping you can forward this to the appropriate person to address this concern.
This weekend I was biking with my son, going east on 1st St and entering Rogers-Binford campus by the playground. We were approaching the trail connection at the end of 1st street east of High St and I was largely focused on the road because it's a bit bumpy there. At the last second I realized there was a metal chain stretched halfway across the trail. I was able to slam on my brakes and skid to a stop, but it was quite a close call. The chain is not particularly visible and wasn't there the last time we went through. We came very close to getting hurt, and it seems likely that someone will get hurt if it stays as is. Someone going through at night is going to be in for a rough surprise. I understand you probably put the vertical post on a tire in the middle of the trail to discourage cars from driving through there and that seems fine, but please (please!) don't stretch a chain across the trail. Or if there's some critical reason that the chain is there, then at least hang a bunch of large bright flags from it or something.
Thank you!
