I live on West Ezekiel Drive in Bloomington, which is part of the Summit Woods HOA. I've owned my home at this address for over three years, long before the rest of the neighborhood was developed. Since the neighborhood has filled in, the townhouses on my street have not been served by Bloomington city trash or recycling, leaving residents and nearby students in an apartment complex to pile trash in two hastily placed dumpsters in the drive behind our row of homes. As of tonight, the dumpsters are, once again, overflowing with trash, with full trash bags and loose trash blowing around our back yards and flocks of black birds feeding on the scraps. I have three children who often play outside, and several of my neighbors also have young children as well. Not only is this situation an on-going eyesore, but it is also dangerous and a sanitation risk for residents and families in the neighborhood.
The city of Bloomington has told us that since this is a private street, there is nothing they can do to help. I’m writing to ask if you will help us address this immediate mess and also help us find a long-term solution to this perpetual problem. All of the homeowners on this street pay thousands of dollars in HOA fees every year only to see our street overrun with trash, which, ultimately, will depress property values and/or resale potentials. This situation is unacceptable and I'm hoping you to help us hold the HOA accountable and also help us find a new, more reliable and sanitary solution for the dumpsters. Every other house in our development has curb-side trash and recycling, including units literally across the street from us.
I have reached out to Summit Woods HOA numerous times and they have never returned my calls or emails.
Thank you so much for your help. You're welcome to call or email me if you have further questions.

I’m writing you today to let you know of a potentially dangerous situation in front of 1824 Hunter Ave. Directly in front of this home, there is a sink hole forming. There is a visible 8 inch hole in the drainage asphalt running along the street. When you look into the hole, there is a large empty space underneath the asphalt. Each time it rains, water is obviously going into this hole and eroding the ground underneath. If a car would park there, it would surely break through. Not sure it would hold the weight of a person either. Please send a crew to fill in this hole with some stones before it gets worse. Thank you. Aaron Unger, owner of 1718 E Hunter Ave.
