The yard is overgrown. There is bamboo growing on the southwest corner of the property. there is trash in the parking area. There is a large dying tree in the back yard that poses a hazard--large dead limbs are constantly dropping and the entire tree looks like it could come down on my house. I have filed a report before, I have contacted the owner. I should not have to be a nervous wreck when I go to sleep on nights like last night, thinking the tree could fall on my bedroom. This is a rental property--what about the tenants that pay to live in place that is trashed.

Passed a dead deer or something about that size earlier. Driving SW on Bloomfield. Not sure where it was exactly, but it was a little bit past that rec center

There is trash behind the house, in the parking area--some in trash containers that are open and some laying on the other side of the parking area--those opened trash bags are covered in weeds and have been there for several weeks and the flys are breeding. This is an on-going and regular problem with this location. I have also seen rats in the front yard.

Third Street underneath the B-Line Trail bridge. Kirkwood and Dunn. Indiana Avenue between Kirkwood and 7th. The three-way intersection of E Moores Pike, S Sare, and College Mall Rd. 7th St by the IMU. The IU campus around Ballantine. Dozens of alleyways and backyards. What do all of these places have in common? Flooding. They flood when it storms. I don't mean when it rains a bit, and I'm not talking about those rare events when it rains for days and we have unanticipated flooding (like in 2019 and 2021). I mean when it storms and we get heavy rain. Dozens of places in Bloomington become impassable. These areas have flooded out for years - ESPECIALLY that part of Third Street under the B-Line bridge. That seems to flood whenever we get more than just a drizzle of rain. And it's right next to that construction for the shiny new skyline bridge and convention center add-on. I recognize that drawing in additional funding through the use of the convention center is appealing for the city. That said, it's always amazed me how the city seems to focus on construction projects while completely disregarding the abysmal state of the stormwater drainage/runoff system in various parts of town. It's not like this is a new issue. I can only imagine how frustrating it will be for those visiting town to visit the convention center, only to get stuck there because the street right next to it flooded out. Again. I know it would be a massive undertaking, both in terms of cost and time. I won't pretend to know the ins-and-outs of infrastructure design and improvement. All I know is that I have to plan an alternate route to get through town whenever it rains enough, and it's happened enough that I know which parts of town to avoid.

There's a massive bush that grows right here that makes it impossible to see until you're basically already in the road (driving east on Dodds). I almost got hit today because a car had to pull so far out from the street to look around that bush. There's also a pedestrian crossing here, and I've seen a number of close calls with people trying to cross and a car pulling beyond the crosswalk to see around that bush. I don't know if it's city property or private, but it's a hazard.

You have to pull all the way to the very edge of the road to see around the bushes and shrubs that grow in that gore/traffic island between Dodds, Walnut, and College Ave. The shrubs are grown out to the point where visibility is obscured, making it difficult to see around them until you're basically in the road. This is especially dangerous because of how busy Walnut St is during the day.

There is a bracket to hold a street sign in the sidewalk still - I saw it yesterday (there is no street sign, but the bracket is a trip hazard).
