Large pothole - uneven surface - driving/walking hazard
For about 2 weeks now there has been a couch and a mattress in front of 1709 Circle Drive. This weekend some cardboard boxes were added. We had trash pickup today. All the items are still there.
Counted over 40 pieces of trash along the south wood fence. Most looks to be mowed over and old trash. Also lots of trash in the building hallways and around the outside doors.
Trash in the woods and all over the spillway near the trash can at building 13.
Over the past year and a half I have asked HAND and Sarge Rentals to remove the garbage cans from the tree row of the 600 block of University St. HAND finally tild me they were fining the rooming house at 624 S Fess. That did not help. I asked Sarge Rentals to remove the Rumpke trash and recycling bins once they switched over to Avas. They did not. Now the Avas bins are in the tree row along with the Rumpke ones and another waste basket (see picture). When I moved here 30 years ago I went to a city meeting to complain about the trash at the rooming house. The problem was remedied by placing a dumpster in the alley behind the building. That was replaced by the Rumpke bins. None of the residents nor Sarge move the bins from the tree row after trash is taken. No other homes on University St behave in this manner. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO REMEDY THIS EYESORE!
Trash bags deposited outside the back door of property, accumulating pile, some bags torn scattering trash, visible from alley, problem going on since October
Garbage constantly left outside allowing pests to get into. This attracts rodents and recently a coyote!
Five days after trash collection for this block a city trash bin is blocking the sidewalk in front of 717 S Park Ave. Bin number is 0817005202
Last night I tried for an hour to upload the required documents for a residential parking permit for my son’s car. The system rejects both pdfs and jpegs repeatedly. Today, I came to city hall to get the permit in person, and I was redirected to parking services on south walnut. When I arrived — at 12:45p — only one person appeared to be in the office, and she was unable to process the request and give me a residential parking permit. She indicated that the “person who could handle it,” was at lunch and would return at 1:30p. Like many, I presume, I used my own lunch hour to make an in-person visit to obtain a required residential parking permit. Staffing choices and, essentially, an office closure during a Bloomington resident’s traditional lunch hour seems inefficient and ineffective. I am standing in the parking office awaiting the return of, seemingly, the one person who can process my permit request.
