With the recent crime in the neighborhood, it would be nice to see regular police patrols in the evenings.

Bus 5, plate 81838, almost struck my car in the roundabout at Rogers/Sare. The bus entered late, failed to yield, and was speeding. This bus needs a safety class--this was reckless driving with passengers.
FYI--Mr. Rogers called to complain about several officers actions during an incident in which he was assaulted. He filed an internal complaint form w/ BPD & has not heard back. He is "disgusted" w/ the way BPD has handled this case & wants to speak to the Mayor. I told him that he shld allow for all the steps in the complaint process to run their course. Mr. Rogers said he wld contact Brd Public Safety, but expected to receive a phone call from the Mayor. He stated he wld call Channel 6.
Mr. Bell called very upset saying basically that on a 1998 December evening, after having an argument with someone, was arrested by a blonde-haired officer working the night shift (he named either Officer Kellams or Helms). Apparently, the person with whom he was having the argument called the police, who then detained him with handcuffs and started "beating/assaulting him." Mr. Bell had several other issues he was struggling to resolve, and has an apparent court date on 1/ 22.
Was assured she would get to adopt puppy she saved from road if no one claimed it. Now finds she'll have to compete with others for puppy. Jim Lang wouldn't take time to speak to her and clerk at front desk hung up on her.
Foster went to License Branch, Tuesday, May 12 & while there questioned license branch procedure. Employee he questioned called Police, and BPD officer asked Foster to lv and not return. Foster claims he is not unreasonable and wants to know why license branch employee's word was taken over his. He is going out of town tomorrow & can't get his license plates.
Citizen did not give name or location. Said that Mon. am (3/23), her carpool was on way to work, got behind a recycling truck which was sitting "in the middle of the street". Said they asked the driver to pull over so they could get past and he "rudely refused" and they had to sit there for 15 minutes waiting. Says if there's traffic, drivers should pull over to the side and not block the street.
Fix third and Smith. Don't blame the state. It's your city. Talk to them and get it done. This is ridiculous.
The City owns TWO Historic Buildings. The Waldron AND The Banneker. One serves white residents. The other serves Black residents. One is getting a $500k renovation. The other desperately needs roof, HVAC, windows, flooring, masonry and drainage repair. Recover forward should honor ALL residents of Bloomington. Black and white. Invest in The Banneker.
People are acting like the 7 line is done but campus and downtown are only a small section. It's awesome! But we live the east end of town in the Park Ridge area. And it's our understanding the 7 line will go east of campus and connect through us. We are so excited. What is the timeline for this expansion east of campus to make a true east west bikeway? Thank you.
