Subject: Concern About Clogged Storm Drains on 1st Street Dear Bloomington Town Official, I am reaching out regarding an ongoing issue with leaves clogging the above-ground grated storm drains along 1st Street, between Henderson and Grant Streets. I previously reported this concern a few weeks ago, but the problem has reappeared due to the continued accumulation of leaves. The situation seems to have worsened following Bloomington's policy change to no longer collect unbagged leaves. As a result, many residents are no longer raking, and the town has become noticeably untidy. These clogged drains pose a significant risk of flooding when it rains, creating potential hazards for our community. I kindly ask for prompt attention to clear these drains and consider ways to address the broader issue of leaf accumulation to maintain the town’s cleanliness and prevent future drainage problems. Thank you for your time and assistance.

This is a dangerous intersection with a stop sign for Dillman traffic, but not Old State Rt 37. The problem is visibility when you're on Dillman. If you're headed west, traffic coming from both sides of Old State Rt 37 are not very visible as the roads both bend and have hills. If you're headed east at that intersection, you're also dealing with an incline. I've nearly gotten into an accident at that intersection, and now that I'm also teaching a teen to drive, it reinforces how dangers that intersection is. There isn't space for a roundabout but turning it into a 4 way stop would make a huge difference in safety. Thanks for considering it!

There is a big pot hole in the middle of the street, as well as a long stretch of dented area on the side of the street. I could attach only one photo here, which shows only the former issue.

2 'abandoned' vehicles: Red Ford truck and white Ford SUV. These vehicles have been there for weeks now, have not moved an inch. Residents at nearby houses are starting to complain that their guests cannot find a parking place because these 2 vehicles are parked there permanently. Especially the Red truck has been there a multiple of 3 days without having moved. City Ordinance 15.04.020 states that this means the vehicles are considered 'abandoned'. The owner at 612 Eastside Drive either needs to park these vehicles somewhere else where they can sit for weeks and months on end, or be made aware that he needs to move them every 3 days, so as not to be in violation of the City Ordinance. The Parking Officer drives by several times a day, so it should not be too hard to see that these vehicles just sit there and sit there.
