Furious that the city has decided to share my personal information with a third-party private for-profit company for waterline insurance. Now I’m in another database that will eventually be bought/sold/hacked and I’ll be receiving spam paper mailings for 10 years. I did not authorize or ask for this. YOU need to have an easy way for residents to completely opt out of this garbage. You had no right to do this.
Same issues as previous complaints in 214205 and 214018. Bline has become out of control at all hours, but especially at night. The issues at City Hall have just moved 50yds south along Bline as in public camping, open drug use, alcohol use vandalism, constant littering, defecating on sidewalks, against buildings, creating a votile, unsanitary environment, harassment of people using Bline etc. While not sure the answer this is completely unacceptable. The security drives by and does nothing. This needs attention as Bline is becoming out of control and this area sadly is the new spot where problems are the same as previously mentioned City Hall. Same cast of characters and would be nice if something could be done. Not the Bloomington anyone wants especially those of us who live downtown and businesses downtown or users of the Bline…..
What exactly is the plan for the homeless encampments that persist around City Hall? It’s been a solid month of people living in this area. Increased trash, destroying landscaping, open drug use, and safety concerns. Is this your vision for downtown? Thank you.
At intersection of 6th and n college ave, planter filled in with concrete. What is this? Does council and OOTM know about this? This is so unsightly and not in the spirit of our downtown. This needs rectified.
Few sink holes on Heritage Road, please send someone to check and fixing them.
Greetings, lovely individuals of the city! I am here to offer my humble opinion on your delightful branding adventure which has recently made quite the stir in our community. First and foremost, your efforts to elevate our beautiful city are much appreciated. While reminiscing on the past, relishing in the days of old, and remembering what Bloomington was, we do have to think ahead. My understanding of the new branding and its message about our city’s identity could not hit the nail on the head more squarely. Our community is what it is because people came here recognizing something was different and that something was “a vibe” as the kids not say, that they also felt. But we must recognize that, in order to remain a thriving and vibrant community, “the vibe” must evolve with the times. If I recall correctly, our new traffic engineer and his young family moved from a large metropolitan city with everything to offer, to the 23 square miles in the middle of south central Indiana that we call home. I do not think I presume too much to say, he didn’t choose Bloomington for the logo, he chose it because he saw a place where him and his family could belong. That’s what Bloomington is. That is what I truly believe this new branding effort captures with absolute and robust precision. So I thank you. Let us not forget the words of Weston from the ever-eloquent artist 50 Cent as we face the challenges ahead: "Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top / And I'm gon' shine homie until my heart stop." PS I love, adore, and believe whole heartedly in our new “B” and the potential it will most undoubtedly unlock.
Dead stoplight at college and Kirkwood I called into utilities and was dismissed the operator would not call street because he said it was a power outage. I saw no outage on the Duke outage map
Biking/walking path between South Roosevelt and South Jefferson (East 4th street) has weeds over 5ft tall. The vegetation is out of control. Also, vines are covering the pathway street light.
John Garzee is doing a great job responding to uReports. He is quick to reply and provides actual useful updates and information in his responses. Someone please thank John and let his boss know that he is one of the best at keeping uReports moving, getting problems solved, and communicating with the public through this platform. Others could take note from John. Thank you John for your kind, professional, and prompt attention to the endless complaints we come up with as citizens here in Bloomington. Amid the complaints, I wanted you to at least see one compliment. I appreciate your efforts.
Unhoused left broken wagon in the alley/row. Does a homeowner or neighbor that uses this alley have to pay the fee for this to get thrown away?
