We will added current survey data to the data.bloomington.in.gov
Other: Hello! Addresses entered into myBloomington are not coming up with historic designation information. It was difficult for me to find the information about my address, and the only reason I knew to dig was because I happen to have increased knowledge about the HPC and how some of that works. If I didn't know those things, I would never know my house was on the survey. When I finally did find the survey, it's difficult to look through because it's organized by neighborhood, then "scattered sites," not by street address (and it's just a pdf of a list). Luckily I know how to search and could find my address, but again, that's special knowledge that I don't think every user should be expected to have. Please fix this! Thanks!
Most tickets of this type should be closed within 2 days, although some cases may be longer. 2 days have already passed.

Comment from constituent: I here you on waiting for the updated survey, but I wonder if you could point people to the current survey from the MyBloomington data portal in the meantime? I don't know how hard that is, but I think most people don't even know about the survey, and if they're wanting to buy a property and looking it up on MyBloomington to learn what they can about it, that would be helpful information to be pointed toward, and it's pretty difficult to find even when you know what you're looking for. Just a thought.
Constituent emailed. Will address issue in MyBloomington when next round of historic data is available.
Margie, Thanks for the feedback. I hope all is well! My understanding is that there is new survey of historical properties that HAND is working on. It's our intent to provide this data on the City's data portal at data.bloomington.in.gov and through MyBloomington when we have this data in hand. That should improve access to this information. I hope this addresses your comment. -Rick D
