| Bloomington, IN | closed | Animal Control & Neglected Pets | DEAD Possum (3 or 4 days now) on grass between the multi-use pathway and High Street between Arden and Queens Way. Thursday when first reported it was in High St (quite large), Friday when next reported it had been moved by the buzzards to partly on the pathway. Today someone has used a long stick (if you are looking to finally pick it up, you will see it next to the long stick) to move it away from where the children view it as they walk to school. Is there nothing in the City's ordinances to speed up having dead animals picked up? This seems like a health hazard and it quite loathsome to see. | | about 3 hours ago |

Twice now, their leaves have blown onto my property at 404 E 1st Street. I had my yard cleaned before Thanksgiving and again today, December 14.

| Bloomington, IN | open | Traffic Related Complaints | The City should check out the traffic issues happening on S. Woodlawn Ave from Maxwell to 1st. People are now parking on both sides of the street, often directly across from other cars, reducing this area to a single lane for two way traffic. This particular stretch of Woodlawn is relatively busy. People are parking so close to 1st on both sides of Woodlawn that sometimes you cannot even turn to go south on Woodlawn from 1st without needing to wait for a car at the stop sign on Woodlawn headed north to clear out (and hope the cars coming up behind it realize they need to stay back and let people through). I know legally right now the road allows parking on both sides. This could be evaluated and consider removing parking from one side of the street as people are not very smart about where they park and it is creating a hazardous reduction in traffic flow that is difficult for vehicles and bicycles to navigate. | | 8 days ago |

I have also seen many posts on the page about sightings for this dog since my original post. I can only attach one image, so I’ve chosen some comments from my post about someone else’s sightings.
