I've noticed that the uReport system no longer shows the text of the updates made. There are only dates and words like "open" and "assignment" and "closed." Citizens cannot see what the City has said or reported about these uReports. There are no details on who is working on the case, what is being done, etc. Is there a reason why this information has gone away and transparency is now lost?
When is the city going to match the County for work hours/hours worked? Closing at 4pm makes public meetings available to start earlier in the evening, reduces traffic stress on roads as a major employer (remote work accomplishes this too), and creates less confusion on need of City versus County services and what hours they can be reached.
The response provided for Case# 201024 (https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=201024) was insufficient and dismissive ("Cases are left open until they comply. A large number of tickets were issued, however, tickets are tracked in a separate system from Ureport."). It is not true that all the "Sidewalk Snow Removal" complaints were followed up with tickets. Rather, they were *all* updated soon after 8am on Wed 26 Feb with various comments such as, "Snow has melted", "No longer valid", etc. There is no reason to lie - better to just ignore requests from residents and go back to whatever it is you do all day long. Eventually, we will get the message that submissions to UReport are a waste of time and we will stop bothering your office with such things.
It’s was my understanding with the Malibu House and Jeff Jones that several houses on Chris lane had lost renting privileges . I still see the Malibu house is open and has renters . I thought all this ended June 1? Has something changed ?
U-Report Cases #202598 and 202599 (can be closed, they have been satisfactorily resolved. Thanks!
Yesterday I observed two men sharing a crack pick smoking crack in front of the downtown post office. Today while having breakfast at McDonalds south Walnut while eating breakfast I observed a male dark T shirt and jeans and beard and a woman bonding hair white hooded sweat shirt sharing a crack pipe right in window by the outside tables and no one even blinked an eye. I guess this is Bloomingtons new norm turn blind eyes to narcotic use so typical.
Hello- I just wanted to report a parks and rec truck driving on the clear creek trail between that road and rockport road driving way too fast down the middle of the road and narrowly running me off the trail and into the grass. This could have been really bad if I was elderly or disabled and unable to move out of the way. The plate # was 45090.
I have an issue of how a criminal case is not being taken seriously, or pursued in a timely manner. On May 8, 2013 My daughter got shoved into a wall by one of my male neighbors & my car window busted out by my female neighbor & have it on video. The police come & of course my neighbor left before police arrived. The police took everyones statement even reviewed the video which was sent to the officers email right then, still nothing has been done. But the officers did come to my house to tell me there will be a warrant for the female because of the video but nothing will happen to the man that assaulted my daughter & she had visible marks on her arm from where he pushed her. This back & forth with my neighbor has been going on for a year. But nothing was ever done to protect me & my family so they became bolder in their harassment toward me & my family. I told the officer if they wouldnt not do anything to them they wouldnt stop. I am the one who always called the police ( but the few times they called was saying i didnt have a license & i tried to hit my neighbor with my car) it was me calling for protection. My neighbors have threatened, stalked us w/a video camera pointed to my front door & parking lot, assaulted physically & verbally, destroyed property, & spit on, still to this day stalk my daughter at work & drive by our house because the female neighbor no longer lives by me she was evicted about a week ago. I do not understand why either one wasnt arrested that day. I had all the proof my daughter was injured & my window was busted & video taped so I do not understand the lack of action from the Police that are suppose to protect. If I was not in the "poor side" of town I think things would have been different. I believe if she busted a city officials car window she would have been put in jail that night or assaulted a city officials daughter. Its sad that someone with money & power are more believable then evidence in my case. Every officer & there were alot over the past year all said the same its your word against their word even if you have witnesses nothing is going to happen. One officer even got in my face & said you call us again over stupid shit & I will take you to jail, I have more important things to deal with then neighbor disputes. This was in front of my children & of course my neighbors too. So for months after my family had to deal with them thinking they can do anything cause all they had to say was our word against them. My kids hated to just walk to the car to leave because they hadnt played outside for the past year. My car is scratched up, headlight busted window busted bike tires flattened & I havent done one thing to retaliate except rely on the legal system to protect me. I will be out hundreds of dollars to repair all that has been damaged. Where is my justice where is my protection I dont care what part of town I live or how much money or power i dont have I deserve the same rights as everyone should. If everyone would just realize its the little things that works up to what they consider more important cases. If the police took more time stopping the little incidents maybe the bigger ones wouldnt proceed. To whom that reads this , without knowing me or my history or station in life, if this happened to you, What would you do?
The Bloomington police Dept is such a top notch agency. They are so friendly and professional. Especially officer Tate. We are very fortunate to have all these fine men and woman on our police force!
Hello, I live on Rogers where the road construction has been going on. While the construction so far has been annoying, it has been bearable and hasn't intruded on daily life functioning. The past two morning I have been woken at 6 am to extremely loud construction outside my window. 7 am was annoying, but bearable, but 6 am is just insanity. It wasn't even light out this morning at 6 am! I am ill and trying to recover and being woken at 6 am when I don't have to be awake for work until 8 am is just rude. Please, is it at all possible to wait until 7 am to start construction? At least it's a reasonable hour. Thank you, Rachel Matthews
