I live at 815 N Park Ave, Bloomington IN 47408, and recently the Trains that pass through at night have been blaring their horns unabashedly. Is there a way that we can request the train operators to refrain from using the horns late at night? This is only a recent issue, but it has woken me up 3 times in the past four nights between the hours of 11:30pm and 3am. Thank you, Evan Dalton

Loud bass/music in vicinity, can't tell where it's coming from exactly - there are lots of houses in the area with several cars parked nearby, maybe a party?

Per her video address, the mayor stands with the protesters at this location. Therefore, it appears the mayor endorses Hamas and believes that rape, torture, kidnapping and murder of innocent civilians is a legitimate response to Hamas’ perceived grievances in Gaza. I don’t see how, with such a gross deficiency in moral character, she can ever uphold, enforce or execute the rule of law for all persons.

Why is nothing being done about the homeless encampment on S Patterson and Fairview St? It’s been reported multiple times. It’s becoming larger and trashier

I was driving home last night and hit a huge hole and slit my tire. There is construction going on and this road is in horrible condition because of it. I went by to take a picture this morning but someone has already poured concrete in the hole I hit last night to fix it. At one point the area I am referring to on the road was completely dug up and had a big piece of metal over it. Since then it has been filled in with concrete or some other material which continually sinks in or breaks as it was last night when it split my tire.

The trees along Sudbury drive need to be trimmed. The branches hang down so low, you have to drive your car down the middle of the street to keep from having the limbs scrape your car. The north side of the street is especially bad. Also, no one takes care of the grass on either side of Sudbury beyond the Millenium apartments and the office park.

I’d like to report what seems like a noise ordinance violation (apologies if this is the wrong place, I couldn’t find a fitting category). Over the last week I’ve noticed a very loud beeping that seems to be emanating from the Catalent area or maybe the construction site beside it—I know noise is notoriously difficult to triangulate so I could be wrong about this part. It sounds similar to a truck backing up—evenly spaced beeps about a second or two apart—and runs seemingly all hours, though not every day. I hear it today, 3/29, and it was happening yesterday and for several days earlier in the week and over last weekend. It’s quite loud here on the westernmost block of Dixie and makes it hard to sleep or do things outside. I’m often up in the early hours of the day, between 1-4am, because I have a baby, so I’m certain it’s running way later than is acceptable for a loud noise. I will send another report if I gain any clarity about the source of the noise. Thank you!

To the east of Somersbe, people are camping in an area owned by the railroad, city, & county so nobody is taking responsibility. Trash (see pic), car has been removed, trash remains, human waste, dog waste, unleashed dogs, & fires. March 6, 2024, I was chased on the trail by an unstable person from the camping area, screaming “I’m going to get you.” I had to RUN & hide at a residence/business and they helped me. I now carry pepper spray. Who do we appeal to for help? This is an unsafe situation for the people camping as well as the neighbors, and toxic to our environment. Thank you

In response to uReport case# 178546, thank you for the information as well as the contact information for IU in the case of future questions. It is good to learn that IU has made some solid changes in the ten years since the issue was thrust onto them by student activists. Reducing the use of coal-powered electricity to less than 15% and intermittent use is positive, but I think that that number should really be zero in this year of 2022. I hope that they are still encouraged by the city to completely eliminate coal and supplement their power with sustainable sources such as solar. There has been little action to address the climate crisis by the Indiana General Assembly, and Indiana has a very poor reputation on air quality as one of the worst states in the U.S. for carbon pollution. The latest United Nations climate report states that the climate crisis has reached code red for humanity. Therefore, in 2022 it is hard to swallow that there is still a coal burning power plant in the middle of a dense city on the grounds of an institution of higher education surrounded by throngs of young people with brains that are still developing. We should not be okay with anything other than zero percent. I am not sure what else the railroad line in Bloomington is used for but I know it carries coal. Perhaps, if that need went away and the rail line ever became unused, then it could be converted into a trail that all of the community could use for non-fossil fuel burning purposes. The City of Chicago did that about ten years ago with a dormant elevated rail line and it was transformative for those neighborhoods. Lastly, I leave you all with a line from the Great Law of the Haudenosaunee, the founding document of the Iroquois Confederacy, the oldest living participatory democracy on Earth. "In every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations." I do not seek a reply. Thank you for your time.
