Hoping to have a street sweeper come for the dried dirt/muddy mess that was left from fiber optic internet installation on this portion of Hunter. Quite a mess. Not sure it will be taken care of by rain as it is thick in parts.

The sidewalk along Winslow Farm Drive, just north of E Winslow Road, has been blocked by construction debris for months. This is a result of the Winslow Farms Homeowners Association renovating their ponds, but there has been no work done in months, and a pile of timber has blocked this sidewalk for months. The WFCA board cannot seem to get action from the company that has stopped work, so I am hopeful that the city can push them into at least clearing the sidewalk of debris. Thank you!
The people working on the fiber optic internet line left this hole in the road. There are lots of people who walk their dogs or bike in the dark, and I am worried that a dog will fall in it or it will cause injury to fellow citizens.
There have been 2 cars parked in the alley for over 24 hours and despite trying to make contact with those who live in 412 S Lincoln St, they have not moved their cars from the road. It is blocking my parking spot and access to my backyard. I have visitors coming who will get tickets if they do not move their vehicles from the road so I can access my parking. Additionally, there is a lot of through traffic in that alley so it may be a safety concern as well.

Does the City of Bloomington/Parks and Rec have a lifeguard:patron ratio that they implement? As of 1:30 pm, there are about 30 people in the main pool (not including the deep end) and only one lifeguard on duty. This lifeguard was seated in an oversight chair on the south side of the pool. When I asked the four off-duty lifeguards about the ratio, one told me that only a single lifeguard was sufficient for the whole pool for the number of patrons. He also indicated that they did not need to close off the west end of the pool to reduce the scan area for the lone lifeguard. However, after that, he did ask the seated lifeguard to go down to ground level to scan the pool.

This morning at 10 am, the two dogs who live at 2008 E Greenbriar charged, barking with ears flat, my small dog and I, again. Thanks to two other passersby, the dogs got home. However. This is at least the third time these dogs have charged us personally in the street this year. Other neighbors also have had difficulties. On a previous occasion, a neighbor who lives on Hyde Park Circle told me, "We've also had trouble with them." Another time, a small boy who saw me walking by the house said, "Be careful. Sometimes those dogs get out. They chased me." He said neighbors came to help him. I don't want anything bad to happen to the dogs. I also don't want to feel as if I have to be prepared for a possible attack every time I walk by the house, which is how I currently feel. (I walk my dog daily and there aren't many other ways out of the neighborhood.) My dog is terrified of other dogs, even when they don't come on the run and barking, and I have a responsibility to protect him. What has to happen in order to keep this from occurring on a semi-regular basis? Thank you.
What are the safety protocols for lifeguards on duty? There are two lifeguards on duty for the main pool at 2:30 pm, but the elevated chairs designed for lifeguards to easily scan the pool are empty. Instead, both lifeguards are seated together, chatting on the staff bench. There are easily 60+ people at the Bryan Park Pool now and plenty of small children. Until this weekend, lifeguards at Bryan Park Pool used the elevated chairs all summer and rotated frequently. Follow-up to #192811: https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=192811
