The city really needs to use something besides Facebook for notifications about public safety issues. Residents should not be required to use that platform to receive timely information. There was a major gas leak today and apparently that was the only place it was posted. People were unaware.
Thank you City for moving ahead on Morningside calming. So excited and glad you are expediting with construction in mind. Please ignore the curmudgeons. Progress and safety!
Please note dissent of the newly proposed location for the Monroe county jail to the northwest of Bloomington (still Bloomington address). Do not ruin this wonderful community area that has greater potential than a jail complex! This dissent amongst Bloomington citizens and visitors to the area alike needs to be noted to city council members, Bloomington transit, and administration for any future coordination of this County Jail. This would be a failure of community planning to the highest degree!
Citizens of Bloomington want it noted now that we disagree with the following new location for the proposed county jail. This will still be a partnership with the City as there is a need for added city services. As seen in Herlad Times: “Commissioners criticized for slow progress on Monroe County Jail solution - By Boris Ladwig, The Herald-Times” This is a rural and mixed urbanized area in the county. Those communities to the northwest feel the same as the previous venture to the southwest of Bloomington. Those neighborhoods are equally as important and the policy makers in the City need to hear that there is dissent and ensure they make it clear that we do not support this. Thank you
The water company is a monopoly that runs itself like its the 4th Reich. They offer zero assistance or help, unless your unemployed and not trying to better yourself at all. If you just quit on life and being productive, then the city helps you. If your a hardworking man, that fell on hard times due in no fault to himself, that guy can kick rocks. His only option is to pay his bill in full or else. The water company actually put a lien for 200 bucks against a paid for home worth 225,000! My family has had 3 or 4 generations of perfect bill paying with water company. Just my gma, dad, mom, aunts and uncles have paid city of bloomington water for well over 250 yrs combined, and that garners you zero good will or even common courtesy. They can't even acknowledge they're screwing you over and be polite. They know they're the only game in town so they treat people like crap and it's not ok.
Can someone provide an update on the Morningside Greenway installation? We're excited and believe it was intended for spring, but didn't know if a more solid date is now chosen. Workers were walking the street the other day looking at trees.
A red Ford pick-up truck and a white Ford van are regularly parked in front of 613 and 619 S Eastside drive and both have a license plate that expired in Nov 2023. These vehicles are not abandoded, they are being used. Why has this escaped the watchful eye of the officer who drives his white Parking Enforcement car through our street several times a day?
Is city going to be closed for solar eclipse? Seems all orgs in BTown aside from essential services will be yet this hasn’t been announced yet… why the delay?
If you can “like” post, 187191 would have thousands of likes!!!!! Along with all the post about the city being passive towards the homeless camps, trash, shopping carts, bike parts, etc… and other issues involving the transient population in town!
See tix 187165. Local merchants don’t flood the community with criminals, mental health patients, and drug users that are responsible these carts being abandoned all over town…the city does!! Like all the other issues in this town, local government passes the blame on others (property owners)….hard working tax paying citizens and employers! Stop accepting state money for rehabilitation of all the states delinquents! I highly advocate for people to lawyer up take action against this city with answers like that!!!!
