This morning, while driving to work at Cook Pharmica, I was going a different way than normal. I was on 3rd St instead of 2nd St, and needed to get over to turn onto Patterson abruptly because I wasn't too familiar with the area. A city employee driving a city truck not only didn't acknowledge my turn signal, he sped up. He proceeded to try and "race" me, and when I was finally able to get in front of him because I couldn't get behind him due to other vehicles, he proceeded to turn his bright lights on to distract me. Naturally, I sped up. The city employee sped up with me and began to tail me, all the way to Cook. I pulled over into the Cook lot and attempted to get a license plate, but he sped away. All I could get was what I believe the last 2 digits to be, 50. I want you to understand, as a city employee, this person represents not only the city, but the city government as well. This was a HORRIBLE display of unprofessional and inappropriate behavior. I do not know that side of the city well, and for all this guy knew, I could have been from out of town. And that's the impression an out-of-towner would have of city government. Next time this happens, I will not only take a video of it, I will post it on every social media website and news outlet available. Fire immature people who act like this because they should NOT be working in government. Thanks and have a nice day.
north side of cottage grove sidewalk just east of walnut is completely obstructed by bushes.
I'm tired of being solicited by homeless people anytime I walk around downtown. I love this city and I love living downtown but I am hesitant to even walk a few blocks away from my apartment because I'm relentlessly confronted by homeless people. I have no problem with homeless people and I'm willing to pay my part of the taxes to get them steady jobs and homes, but soliciting hard working residents should not be tolerated and the authorities must step in
I called the Bloomington police department this evening to report a noise complaint (someone in the apartment complex adjacent to mine is playing incredibly loud rap music). I was told by someone on the phone that the noise ordinance in Bloomington does not start until 11 pm, however, section 14.09.030 states that "Sound that is clearly audible to a person with normal hearing from any place other than the premises from which the source of the sound is located, when the sound occurs between the hours of nine p.m. and seven a.m., is prima facie evidence of a violation of this section." The lady was pleasant, and told me that she would send someone over to look into it, but she was convinced that the city of Bloomington's noise ordinance did not go into affect until 11 pm. Might be worth looking into.
We are having an annual sidewalk sale on July 11th and wanted to get approval to have a food truck parked outside of our store. Just wondering who I would contact to get approval or fill out a request. Thanks, Kelly Williams Store Manager Urban Outfitters 530 E.

Please forward this praise to the appropriate dept: If we haven't thanked the appropriate department already, on behalf of Bloomington Transit I want to give an enormous thanks to all the staff responsible for clearing the roads so that BT's fixed route and BTaccess (disabled transport) could successfully maintain operations last week during the awful cold and snow. We were one of the few transit systems in Indiana that did not shut down. Customers were very impressed and grateful and we owe this to you! - Eli McCormick, Customer Service Manager
Under the underpass is a drainpipe that has ice built up around it. When it rains water gushes out of it . It's right over the exit from 37 northbound to 46 eastbound.
Leaves were never removed from Greenbriar, Mayfair, and Arden neighborhoods last fall. Snow fell on top making snow removal a mess. Potholes emerged making it even worse especially where Wilton and Greenbriar merge. Then last weekend - city crews were pumping what I presume to be leaves out of the storm sewer leaving a huge mess. The entry to our neighborhood now looks really bad. Crumbling roads covered with muck and piles of dead leaves. What does one need to do to bring attention to this? When will the leaves be removed and the roads be repaired and cleaned up?
