Can you all have your IT folks add a covid-19 option? I'm guessing lots of people are asking about it. Anyways, I was going to suggest some businesses aren't really essential, like ice cream shops (I'm not a fun hater), but everyone hanging out in an ice cream shop parking lot is not exactly health goals for a pandemic. Also, I noticed police officers walking around without masks. Now that that is recommended by CDC are officers and other city staff being provided with such masks and told to wear them?
City government needs to help advocate against Duke for more reliable power infrastructure. Multiple times a year, not a one off, we not only lose neighborhood power but do so for hours and hours and hours. We lose hundreds of dollars in groceries each year. Many of our area homes flood as our sumps even with battery backups aren't designed to pump for hours on end on battery. And now, we are losing our salaries and important work as are supposed to be working remotely and can't. Don't simply say it's not a city problem. Help us. Duke refuses to bury lines or take care of dead trees in northeastern part of the city and I'm sure other places. Please use your lobbyist or whoever else to make Bloomington a place where power can be expected, not where privileged neighborhoods get it reliably and the rest of us live in the Middle Ages several days a year. Duke needs to do better for Bloomington.
There is a homeless camp located between Old SR 37 and North Walnut, just north of 45. The entrance is on Old 37 as you head down into Lower Cascades Park. I witnessed multiple individuals entering the area on Saturday afternoon. With a social distancing guidelines in place, it seems like an encampment is a disaster waiting to happen.
Mister Mayor, thank you for the commitment to now have city workers out and about wear masks. It was overdue and appreciated. But how about those still working in an office? Workers are still going to meetings in the same room without masks and it's uncomfortable to watch online and I'm sure even more uncomfortable in person for those present. Have all been issued a mask to wear so this does not happen?
I knew Longview and Pete Ellis were getting some apartments built in that lot, but apparently it is going to be more than usually allowed? I am SUPER concerned that you're going to be packing extra students (almost all will have cars) on a road that is NOT designed for heavy traffic but SUPPOSEDLY a bike path for bikes. It might be great, but what are the extra precautions taking place to ensure students zipping in and out won't disrupt the greenway and kill cyclists? Hoping some will be cyclists, but realistically there is going to be a lot of in and out speedy traffic there for what was a very calm road fantastic for biking. Want to make sure it's not overlooked. Also, anything big built east of College is going to experience major backup on rush hour times at College and 3rd. I know it's a state intersection but the city needs to look into it and factor in the ability of that intersection to take on more traffic. Something needs to change there. It literally clogs (outside of a pandemic) constantly with left turn traffic from 3rd turning south to College, which block eastbound 3rd street. Time and again. Part of the problem is it clogs at the next light (the city's I would imagine) by Fazoli's as the lights aren't coordinated well if at all. So two concerns: not a bad place to live, including for students - way better than century village hotel, but make sure the bike path remains safe! This can't be presumed. That area will change big time and cyclists need reassurance. And 2) light at 3rd and College is going to be negatively impacted and timing or something needs to be looked at there. The east/west greenway I was hoping was going to be getting ENHANCEMENTS in the next year or two, not becoming a motorist highway :( Thank you.
Please please please start requiring employees to wear masks. I'm tired of being around coworkers, including my supervisor, not wearing a mask. I shouldn't have to be at work if my supervisor doesn't wear a mask and gets within a foot or two of me. It's not a power equality where I can tell him to put on a mask! Someone is going to get sick. Even more than already. If this is how we are with each other, how are we with the public?
Isn't health guidance that those who can telecommute should? Why isn't the city doing this ---- so many people are in the office who can be working from home? :(
Just wanting to check on the status of 168657, 170173, and 170994. Thank you and best regards.
E Morningside Drive continues to have heavy speeders, even if most people fine. Multiple neighbors have requested traffic calming for years. Kids almost hit again today. For the people living on the road please do something.
