Mister Mayor, thank you for the commitment to now have city workers out and about wear masks. It was overdue and appreciated. But how about those still working in an office? Workers are still going to meetings in the same room without masks and it's uncomfortable to watch online and I'm sure even more uncomfortable in person for those present. Have all been issued a mask to wear so this does not happen?

SE stairwell is constantly dirty same pair of boots and other homeless belongings have been there for at least a week. Also constant drug use here. Finding lots of needle caps. Before long it will be just as gross as before it got fixed up

Signs downtown ask people to go to the city’s website for alternatives to giving money to panhandlers. But several of the links are inoperative. Not really helpful to people looking for options. Thank you

There is a person living in their car on 300 w kirkwood by the frame store. They have been there for about 2-3 weeks now. Vehicle is a silver Volkswagen sedan. Can the city have this person move along or tow the vehicle? Definitely an eye sore out of my apartment.

Are city employee lives being endangered, and those of their families? My family says federal workers have gone fully remote. Shouldn't we?

Please close City Hall to the foot traffic public IMMEDIATELY. Be on call for emergencies but staying open risks the lives of employees and visitors and acts as a giant shining beacon for other businesses in the community to stay open too and not take the virus seriously. Surely there are new steps that will be taken soon? Flatten the curve.

City government needs to help advocate against Duke for more reliable power infrastructure. Multiple times a year, not a one off, we not only lose neighborhood power but do so for hours and hours and hours. We lose hundreds of dollars in groceries each year. Many of our area homes flood as our sumps even with battery backups aren't designed to pump for hours on end on battery. And now, we are losing our salaries and important work as are supposed to be working remotely and can't. Don't simply say it's not a city problem. Help us. Duke refuses to bury lines or take care of dead trees in northeastern part of the city and I'm sure other places. Please use your lobbyist or whoever else to make Bloomington a place where power can be expected, not where privileged neighborhoods get it reliably and the rest of us live in the Middle Ages several days a year. Duke needs to do better for Bloomington.

I knew Longview and Pete Ellis were getting some apartments built in that lot, but apparently it is going to be more than usually allowed? I am SUPER concerned that you're going to be packing extra students (almost all will have cars) on a road that is NOT designed for heavy traffic but SUPPOSEDLY a bike path for bikes. It might be great, but what are the extra precautions taking place to ensure students zipping in and out won't disrupt the greenway and kill cyclists? Hoping some will be cyclists, but realistically there is going to be a lot of in and out speedy traffic there for what was a very calm road fantastic for biking. Want to make sure it's not overlooked. Also, anything big built east of College is going to experience major backup on rush hour times at College and 3rd. I know it's a state intersection but the city needs to look into it and factor in the ability of that intersection to take on more traffic. Something needs to change there. It literally clogs (outside of a pandemic) constantly with left turn traffic from 3rd turning south to College, which block eastbound 3rd street. Time and again. Part of the problem is it clogs at the next light (the city's I would imagine) by Fazoli's as the lights aren't coordinated well if at all. So two concerns: not a bad place to live, including for students - way better than century village hotel, but make sure the bike path remains safe! This can't be presumed. That area will change big time and cyclists need reassurance. And 2) light at 3rd and College is going to be negatively impacted and timing or something needs to be looked at there. The east/west greenway I was hoping was going to be getting ENHANCEMENTS in the next year or two, not becoming a motorist highway :( Thank you.
