This firefighter that works for your city was making some pretty nasty comments about women online. It’s upsetting he thinks about these kind of things while also serving and protecting a community.
Greetings. Once again, I see little to no effort on behalf of the City of Bloomington in celebrating Pride, and more specifically assuring safety and inclusion of its significant LGBTQ population. At least at current, I see no mention on the CFRD or Mayor pages, and no of no sponsored events. There has been seldom to ever a time in recent years of such attack on this minority population, with safety feeling slim even at the university level, and now is the time for moral leadership. Please step forward and actually speak up on behalf of your residents.
One square of sidewalk in front of the house was replaced last week. A pile of excess cement mixture was left on the lawn next to the replaced paving and has now dried. It is going to be a pain when mowing, and also looks terrible. Please send someone to remove and dispose of the excess/abandoned cement from the yard.
Problem reported earlier (#202303). Was 'Resolved' with the justification that the vehicle is located in a driveway. A driveway seems to me the 'private property' referred to in the Municipal Code section below. The license plate is expired. Owner recently replaced the 1975 plate with a newer one, but it still is an expired plate (2016). Vehicle has been there for at least 30 years. No one in the street can remember seeing it ever been used. 15.04.020 (6), definition of an Abandoned Vehicle. A vehicle that is three or more model years old and mechanically inoperable, and is left on private property continuously in a location visible from public property for more than twenty days.
Over the holiday weekend, we had yet another water main break in Hyde Park Village. Happy to report that CBU was quick on the scene fix the problem and mostly cleaned up the mess. I would like to speak with someone regarding the issues as this was our second water main break in two weeks. I am the president of Hyde Park Village homeowners association. Please have someone contact me as soon as possible. Thank you.
Why is there so much outdated and superfluous info on the city’s website.? I searched for current yard waste criteria and I get documents dated back to 2010!
Crews are there putting in sidewalks they said we never got in notice about this I am the manager for this property. Please give us a detail letter of what will be taking place and the timeline please. This is in front of Yorktown Courts
The Bloomington Firefighters stated that a membership has been bought for them at Planet Fitness, and that they use the firetruck for transport to this facility with permission. Is this the taxpayers money being used for personnel transport and membership fees?
The unhoused encampment behind the IMI concrete plant on private property has continued to get out of control. This has been cleared out already and has now grown to the largest size to date. We have seen 50+ people on a daily basis back and forth. More and more of the unhoused have been cutting through private property on Cherokee Drive, leaving trash in yards, starting fights in the area, and continuing to scope out an abandoned house at the end of Cherokee to which the cops have been called out to at least twice. There is a brand new subdivision being built at the end of Cherokee and the area is finally being built up along with the addition of Switchyard Park. Bloomington has numerous services for the unhoused but camping on private property and causing issues to nearby neighborhoods should not be tolerated. The fear in the area is that this is becoming more and more unsafe as this encampment continues to grow in size. Please address this increasingly dangerous situation as soon as possible.
For Council & Mayor Offices: The whole near west side within city limits that leads to what everyone considers the actual west side of Bloomington (whether in city limits or not) is being very poorly zoned and utterly bad development. The city never prioritizes parks or other greenway features - or even just simple street trees and better vegetation requirements. All the businesses over here continue to get gigantic parking lots and the less popular zoning cases (i.e. rehabilitation centers) are pushed to the west side. Where are these items on the east side of town? Or north? This is inequitable zoning and use of resources focused only to east side and downtown residents. We want to see better.
