I am under the impression that overnight camping is not allowed on public property. Why is the city allowing so many tents all throughout the city being set up overnight? What’s the point of having laws/regulations if we are not going to follow them? What other laws/regulations are we going to turn a blind eye to next?
Stop pursuing opposing goals. You now have a form to more vigorously enforce a stupid policy of artificially limiting occupancy without a clear connection to size, parking, etc. While you also want to increase density? So let's get this right ... You want to build expensive structures (which I don't oppose) when you could create that many beds by simply dropping the archaic anti-modern family rule of capping huge units at three people for no reason? Think this through. We have empty unutilized bedrooms in this town. You're being held hostage by special interests. We need creative and real solutions to affordability. They exist.
Please limit the number of days for fireworks more than currently allowed. Something like 3 seems ample for neighborhoods?
Speeding remains an issue on E Morningside and has been reported by residents for years. We want City assistance. Can you have a resource officer request Summerhouse send a notice to residents to be mindful of speed? We filled out the calming petition. We're told we may finally get help with a Greenway. When is that happening? Residents are exhausted. Is there something concrete we can tell neighbors that help is coming on X date?
6 eastside local bus (City) continues to travel at excessive speeds through neighborhood streets. Please forward to Bloomington Transit that multiple households are unhappy with this.
The mulching "pilot" confuses me. Several people I know participating have always mulched. So how is this a pilot? I'm happy to sign up to say that I mulch, as I do, but getting people who already mulch to say they like mulching and they were part of a pilot just isn't true? Amy I supposed to sign up? Or just folks who want to try mulching instead of bagging leaves for the first time?
Why was a massive CDBG amount given to a pantry based in Ellettsville as the primary donor, when CDBG is specifically for City Limits. Not just that but the pantry is based at a Missouri Synod church, well known for LGBT hatred, and so discouraging to LGBT patrons to utilize. Are there details that have not been made public as to how this specifically will benefit Bloomington? Who is the HUD contact I can report this to at the federal level for Bloomington?
I urge city officials to be proactive with covid-19 and the delta variant. Being proactive now will prevent long term closures and lost revenue of local businesses. CDC guidelines are requiring mask if you aren’t vaccinated fully, but it seems everybody is going maskless despite being vaccinated. Go back to having restrictions at restaurants, local businesses, and public events. The city and its citizens have loosened up too much and are being too relaxed about this virus. The same mindset in other countries is causing havoc! Signed a concerned pharmacist.
We're moving into yet another period with dangerous heat indexes, and the water fountains at Southeast Park still remain off. Can these please be turned on ASAP?
3rd and Smith desperately in need of improvements. Horrible since east 3rd changed. Clogs north in particular. Clogs four way stop and even past bypass. Please prioritize this intersection. It's not just slow but very unsafe.
