The residents at 812 S Morton blocked an ADA parking spot immediately north of their property with two trash receptacles and then moved them to have a large pile of mulch delivered to the space 30 minutes later.

Also has had signs of vagrancy with clothing and trash left behind. At our building we've seen more folks now resting on our stoop (ring camera) after hours and on weekends. Assuming this is a result of them not being able to access the next door property. My non-profit is a tenant of the building.
The alley connecting W 3rd Street to W 4th Street, adjacent to 415 W 4th Street, has become a significant pedestrian safety concern. Vehicles frequently travel through the alley and cross the sidewalk onto W 4th Street without stopping or yielding to pedestrians. There is currently no stop sign, crosswalk, or other traffic control indicating that drivers should stop before crossing the pedestrian path, and the path is totally blind to alleyway drivers. This is a year-round issue but it becomes especially hazardous during IU student move-in and other high-traffic periods, when both vehicle and pedestrian traffic increase considerably. People who regularly walk through this area have reported multiple instances of nearly being struck by vehicles exiting the alley. I am requesting that the City evaluate this location and consider installing a stop sign for vehicles exiting the alley and/or adding a marked pedestrian crossing or other appropriate safety measure. Given the limited visibility and lack of any traffic-control signage, some form of intervention seems necessary before someone is injured.
Ongoing issue over past several months with strong sewage smell and overflow from what looks like a cistern. Does not appear to be related to rainfall. Problem happened approx 2 years ago & has returned. Neighbors have asked me to file uReport.
The sewer cover in this area was covered with soil over the winter when snowplows came through to clear the snow from the grassy area to locate water/sewer lines. You can no longer see it. It is possible that it needs to be cleaned out based on issues I'm experiencing in my home nearby.
611 E. University St. has this trash (see photo) on lawn for quite some time. Also, overgrown weeds on the whole east side of property.

The amount of simultaneous construction across the entirety of Bloomington has reached a truly ridiculous point. Driving anywhere in town has become a tumultuous, stressful mess. This widespread tearing up of major roads started well before summer, and instead of wrapping up, the gridlock has only gotten increasingly horrid. To make matters worse, the city failed to finish these projects before a massive drove of college students returned to town. Flooding our already broken, bottlenecked streets with thousands of extra drivers at the exact same time is a complete failure of planning that has made Bloomington practically undrivable.
Parking in the front yard. Plenty of street parking.
Large limb broke off of tree in City Right of Way. Limb laying next to street.
