There is a weed issue all along the bypass, down past the mall, and Sare Road. This includes the business areas downtown. From the sides of roads, sidewalks, and medians, weeds are growing strong and do not appear to be maintained. This has not been an issue in the past and does not meet my expectation for city upkeep as a two decade resident and taxpayer. Please work on this and keep Bloomington beautiful!
Your incident report form requires the DOB of the property owner or complainant, but since there is no option to hand type the date, I would have to click back in the calendar hundreds of times from the current date to reach my DOB. No thanks!
There have been many wonderful improvements with the new Hawthorne Greenway, but there's a glaring absence of a decent pedestrian crosswalk from Weatherstone Ave. walking East or West across Woodlawn two new accessible curb cuts were made on the Weatherstone side of that intersection, but then, there's no crossing support for pedestrians to get into the park from there. I think a lot more kids will be taking that path from Weatherstone or from Hawthorne to cut across the park to get into Templeton Elementary School. A painted, raised crosswalk with signage would be ideal. Is that in the plans?
I noticed on Sunday 8/11/24 two vehicles parked on the grass at Bryan Park.b there was a party at the Woodlawn shelter, and people just decided to park on the grass, perhaps so that they could more easily carry items into the shelter. This is the third time I've seen that this year, and it's a terrible precedent to be set. There is a split rail fence along part of the park property on Woodlawn. Could Parks and rec consider extending that along with signage that says no parking? When people rent the shelter, that rule can be reinforced in the agreement to rent for the day. People, to be honest, are pretty stupid. There are no signs that say "no cars", and I think it needs to be explicitly stated. Otherwise, people are going to keep driving into the Woodlawn shelter area.
Damaged, abandoned car on W 8th Street for several months. Honda Fit, blue, IN TSV834
Huge pothole on South Overhill drive. About six inches deep and 3 feet wide. Please fix asap because only one car can fit on the road. it is a two-way road, but with that pothole only one can pass by
The last two Sunday mornings, there have been cars parked on the grass under the trees along the road to the parking lot. This morning there were three. They are compacting the soil where the tree roots are. If you want to discourage this, please post signs and/or move the limestone blocks closer to the road.
There is a substantial amount of horseweed growing in the newest part of the prairie, south of the barn.
Alley is being used as an extended-hour parking lot for multiple vehicles, particularly in the evening, making access difficult.
A neighbor told me about the water problem, which I had known nothing about. I contacted others they too had no idea. Why is this health threat not announced publicly, to all involved? I am very concerned that others are risking their health unknowingly.
