north side of cottage grove sidewalk just east of walnut is completely obstructed by bushes.
Mr. Shields called to complain about missed trash and recycling pick ups, but also described calling the sanitation office and dealing with a "rude" employee when discussing these issues.
6/23/16 To: John Hamilton Mayor I hope the Taste of Bloomington was a big success. It was bad news for the laborers who set up the tents. Southside Rental who employed them did not pay them. They had some excuses. These are folks who really need the money. It reflects badly on the city that those at the lowest level do not get paid promptly. I hope you will tell Southside that they give the city a bad name. Bloomington is a great city and the Taste of Bloomington has gone on well for many years. Thanks, Robert P. Muldoon 501 N. Bell Trace Dr. Bloomington, IN 47408
There is a problem with enforcement by HAND. Months ago I requested the City stop the trash and garbage coming from 1417 West Habitat Street. It went from Matthew Swinney in HAND, to the City Street Department, to the Director of HAND, to Rosie Beaman of HAND, who told me a decision would be reached last week. This week she does not return my calls. I still have my neighbors trash in my yard. My other neighbor still has trash in his yard. There is still trash on City Property. There are still trash cans left permanently on City property, despite an ordinance against it. HAND has pictures. Besides the unsightly view, there is the attraction for vermin and the health risks. I just want the trash picked up, and the cans moved back on his property, where they belong.
Thank you Jeff & Cody for a job well done repairing/patching the area where the street meets our driveway! This is my first time using UReport. I did not expect such a quick response to the UReport I submitted Friday evening. Your courteous & polite personalities represent the City of Bloomington well! I very much appreciate all you do! Thanks again! Lori Brenner

For years I have problems with my neighbor's trash in my yard. His cans are on Habitat Street, his own private dump, despite a City Ordinance prohibiting it. He does not empty his trashcans, he does not cover them; animals take trash to nearby yards and other parts of City property. In the past, Wykoff was not helpful, and Mayor Kruzan was not interested, and the police had other priorities. Recently it has bounced around in City bureaucracy for months: HAND, the Street Department, back to HAND, over to Title VI, back to HAND, and back to the Street Department, which they will not enforce the Ordinance. Trash still appears in my yard. There must be organizational and management issues, but the results are the same: no solutions. The appearance is either incompetence or corruption. I am tired of the run-around; I have lost the use of my property and it's full value. I just want the cans moved back on his property, away from mine. If the cans are not a real problem, then they can not be a real problem on his own property. The next escalation goes to the Police Department, the Herald-Times, or the Courts.
there are porch couches at 611 and 616 n Washington. why can't HAND enforce city ordinances to have these removed?
