There is a LOT of items in this yard. Items include a full sized refrigerator, a mini fridge, a window AC unit, a shopping cart full of junk, an RV that is full of junk without a door (it has been used for storage for YEARS!). Plus, many, many other things! I last reported this in early April 2025 and it is near the end of May and NOTHING has been done, yet the ticket for that says resolved. DOES THIS LOOK RESOLVED TO YOU? This is well within the city limits and as such it is the City of Bloomington's responsibility to ensure that this property gets cleaned up!

Trying to find way to reply to our previous report. The only way possible is to create a new one ... This is about UReports concerning RE: #202909 Thank you for the people who looked into this for us - Rob Council replied "Exterior inspection has been conducted on property. Does not meet unsafe threshold" How can this be if there is no longer yard fencing on South side of pool? Pool water is green, cover is off, complete access into yard to pool by alley (There used to be a garage that fell down and was removed before sale) Isn't there a City safety ordinance about pools? Ex. "In Bloomington, Indiana, an ordinance requires fences around swimming pools and other water-filled excavations. Specifically, Ordinance 17-19 amended Section 14.36.160 to align pool fencing requirements with the Indiana Administrative Code. This means that swimming pools and other water-filled excavations must have a fence at least 4 feet high that completely surrounds the pool area.
Elaboration:
Ordinance 17-19:
This ordinance amended Section 14.36.160, which previously required fences around all bodies of water with a depth exceeding 36 inches. Now, the ordinance primarily focuses on swimming pools and their fencing requirements, aligning with the Indiana Administrative Code.
Fencing Requirements:
The Indiana Residential Code (R326.27.3) outlines specific requirements for pool fencing:
Walls or fences at least 4 feet high, completely surrounding the pool and deck.
Self-closing and latching gates and doors, capable of being locked.
Alternative means, deemed impenetrable by the enforcing authority, can be used instead of traditional fences.
A combination of the above options is also allowed.
A power safety pool cover can be used as an alternative, provided it connects continuously to the deck and requires a key or other secure mechanism to operate.
Violation:
Violating the ordinance is considered a misdemeanor, according to Section 14.36.170."

Running north on Bline with my daughter at ~10:30 am was verbally harassed by a group of 4 men who appeared to be unhoused gathered by the tables adjacent to Wonderlab garden. Comments were of a sexual nature. It would be appreciated if you could step up patrols in that area. Thank you.

Blocked Street

Blocking this east-west corridor all summer is a disaster. Consider there are people in this town who DRIVE EAST WEST. This has diverted traffic to hillside and last evening the traffic on hillside going west was backed up from the light at high street through the roundabout near renwick. This was causing drivers to divert into the neighborhood north of there, flying through at high speeds. Open up our roads again, stop making driving impossible in Bloomington with all these sidewalks, bikepaths, street narrowing curbs that NOBODY uses. NOBODY. Put a plan into place to improve EAST WEST traffic. This is ruining the town.

There is excessive trash outside 927 W Graham. It has been there a month and a half. Sanitation will not pick up because the bins are overfilled, and trash is on the ground.
