In regard to the additional % food tax downtown, the admin finally announced they’re going to attempt to do the project but no end in site for the tax. Again, I have heard, read, and seen other complaints that citizens are tired of this tax. In a place that is not NY or Chicago but has the cost of living as such with no pay scale in town keeping individuals on pace with inflation, this tax is impacting locals the most. How do you expect any citizens or employees in this town to afford supporting local business when they cannot afford to eat there? What is the timeline for this tax to expire and officially end? Indiana already had a high enough sales tax compared to other states as it is. Many are seriously concerned with how little care this administration has with cost of living and income differences in this town and county (since many cannot/intentionally do not live within city limits)

Thank you for keeping our city and government safe! COVID protocols enacting better safety in the city hall building was a great thing to come out of a hard pandemic. Us constituents appreciate having moved many functions to entirely online and reducing the requirement of having to come downtown to simply pay or drop a paper of. In light of the many many tragedies that keep occurring in public spaces, we feel safer having fewer members of the public be able to freely explore the showers space. An appointment or meeting to get assistance is just such a better alternative than no safety. Thanks for modernizing and accepting the remote and online functions, like the rest of the world!

The city is digging in the drainage ditch on my property again. They do this from time to time without reason. No one contacts me EVER to say hey we are gonna mess up your yard. I pay someone to trim this area of my yard and after they dig they leave it uneven and hard for someone to take care of. Last time they left a CBU sign up for 4 months and then came back after I called to complain and removed the sign and spread grass seed and straw. It makes my property look like shit.

N Smith and Morningside remains dangerous with many not stopping on N Smith. Yes per Planning signs may be "visible" per the book but doesn't mean people expect and abide by them there - flashers or other item especially to protect bikers crossing at Greenway needed. Though State intersection, N. Smith and 10th also remains dangerous for turns during heavy traffic.

Today I was almost killed by a motorist on the 7th St. bike trail. There needs to be signage for the motorists. Too many out of town drivers on a regular basis to think it can be a learned infrastructure!

What is the proper protocol for trash illegally dumped at the road? I got a citation as property owner that I have to clean up, stuff that was dumped in the street, according to the inspector most is in our yard so we have to clean it up. Which is a lie most is in your street and a little is in the tree plot. I don’t think I should be responsible to clean up what someone illegally dumped in your streets.

News reads, ALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) is one of 16 senators that introduced a bipartisan proposal to reform the Electoral Count Act of 1887.

uReport ID #180633 and #180632 both show they were assigned to Mallory Rickbeil. My understanding is that she quit her job with the City and left town. She is still listed in the City of Bloomington staff directory though. Maybe the City needs to do a little cleanup on the system. Or maybe I am mistaken about her status of employment. Whichever turns out to be true, I just wanted to make sure those rReports got to someone and did not sit in the inbox of a non-existent City employee. Thanks.

News just broke about the redevelopment of yet another downtown property, this time on Kirkwood. Proposals for changing the cultural feel, look, and integrity of our beloved town should require better public notice of being on an agenda for vote. This occurs not just for the planning commission, but other city meetings as well. Turning our town into a cityscape of 3+ stories everywhere is not the “Bloomington feel” that is supposed to be at the heart of every project, and it is not what alumni and townies for decades have fallen in love with and raised their families here for. Do better with actually listening to residents’ thoughts as a whole for the town, not just the elite your admin has chosen to sit on a council/commission (especially those made up of “representatives” who live in $500k+ properties and do not have a pulse for the majority of permanent residents that live and work in this town). When one thinks of Bloomington, the residents can assure you it is not being surrounded by brick, large buildings, and lack of flora when walking or driving through any part of town. However, this is what this administration is turning Bloomington into - large, brick (purdue-eque), concrete and blacktop filled spaces with a lack of culture and quirky original Bloomington feel. A shame that I would need to relocate from my hometown and family to better embody this original appeal of Bloomington.
