From Reddit Bloomington:
Fiber cables damaging sewer lines
We live right next to Bryan Park. About a week ago our toilet backed up, and after multiple visits from our (very honest and reasonable) plumber, we discovered that the city's fiber optic internet contractor had carelessly run an optic cable directly through our sewer line. This caused a ton of debris to get into our drain pipe and completely clog the pipe, necessitating a $10k repair. I called the city and apparently, this is happening to people all over town. (The person in the utilities office said I was the third person to call today with this exact problem, and our plumber said that this contractor got thrown out of Carmel for damaging so many sewer lines).

Are there any plans to convert the narrow sidewalk on the south side of E 2nd Street between High Street and College Mall Road to a multimodal path? It would be a great option to encourage safe routes to Binford/Rogers with options for pedestrians and bicycles

My bike was stolen from this rack behind Hopscotch Coffee, which it turns out is not secured to the ground. I asked a tenant and they said Brawley Properties manages this building. If it can’t be secured it should be removed!

Notice the wet sidewalk. The moisture is not rain; it drains out of the retaining wall. In winter it freezes and is dangerous for pedestrians i know that it is against code for a downspout to drain directly onto a sidewalk. This is different, but the danger is the same.
