John Hamilton is not performing well. Here are some failures: 1) high speed internet 2) clueless about military vehicle acquisition 3) UDO and more generally his `3-ring binder' nonsense 4) mismanagement of farmer's market strife I have never voted for a Republican in 38 year but I'm writing to the GOP to see if they can put forward a moderate.
Anthony’s pets need to be closed ok
Citizen called on a yard waste missout yesterday. Sanitation worker came today to pick it up around 11-11:30. Citizens' high school age son was in yard and says sanitation worker "jumped all over him", "got in his face" screaming and pointing his finger. Worker allegedly told the kid that the yard waste was not at the curb yesterday and that next time he would "fine his ass." This was apparently witnessed by a neighbor.
Ms. Richardson called and wanted to schedule meeting with Mike Phillips to discuss problems she has had with Customer Service Department and the unprofessional way she feels CBU employees have treated her.
This intersection is on a hill and it's very difficult to see oncoming traffic from the left. I think this should be a three way stop sign because the speed of the traffic makes it hard to stop.
On Saturday, May 29, 2021, this City-owned site was producing a lot of loud construction noises after 10:30pm. The noises included audible beeping from trucks or equipment backing up and loud banging noises, possibly the sound of either dump truck tailgates slamming on the bed of the trucks or some sort of excavator hitting the ground repeatedly. City ordinances only allow construction noises up to 10pm. Can the City be a better neighbor and not produce these loud, annoying noises at such late hours of the day?
The amount of continuous noise being produced from somewhere in this location on S. Walnut Street is ridiculous. All day, the sound of construction equipment driving around and dumping stuff and pounding things. This has gone on for a long time now. Can this not be stopped? In a pandemic with work from home, some people don't have an option to go elsewhere. It seems like it is a training course for heavy machinery operators or a place where really slow construction crews go to work.
Re case: 170740. Good to see the city passing the buck on all scooter related issues. Would be nice to see some actual enforcement. Scooters are constantly being left blocking downtown sidewalks, and the no scooters on downtown sidewalks rule seems to be completely ignored.
The City of Bloomington government has done a horrific job with the B-Line Trail detour due to the trail closure in Switchyard Park. But, the City of Bloomington government has a history of doing a horrific job with all things traffic, roads, and detour related, so I guess in the end: who is surprised? The detour was announced on October 23rd via the Office of the Mayor's Facebook page stating it would last for about 2 weeks. Local news sources reported on that fact as well. Now, 22 days later the trail is still closed. I had to call Parks & Rec to ask, because no updates are available online. I called because I need to get into town but the detour path is not safe. Last time I rode the detour it had a lot of gravel, sand, overgrowth, and other hazards. I do not understand why the City cannot at the least keep people updated on the closure when it goes beyond the stated 2 weeks from the Mayor's office. And, maybe going a step further, clean up the detour path? I know, I know - maintaining a multi-use path would be a lot to ask in this town.
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.
