The tenants of 501 E 7th St and 310 N Dunn St have had daily parties, morning and evening, for several weeks now that involve twenty+ people and loud music audible inside other apartments. Several noise complaints have been made with police each time it occurs, yet police have never actually showed up and the parties continue. They are in violation of Bloomington’s noise ordinance each time, but seemingly the police department refuses to enforce it.

I wanted to report that I have observed three individuals casing the cars in my neighborhood. Sunday night someone got into my car and ran down the battery despite my having tried to lock it . They left drink straws in the car. I have observed two individuals on bikes wearing hoodies working the cars at the Grant street inn. They come out and case the neighborhood typically between two and five and wake me up. I have observed them at least twice. This morning an older person perhaps sixty five white hair combed back blue “beater” t shirt and shorts was casing the cars on Lincoln Street. I left my car for two seconds to let my dog in and he was looking in mine. I saw him proceed down the street, not the sidewalk, and approach a car parked near the Presbyterian church. It looked to me as if it was either a police car or the community service officer suv from the color. It was the reason I decided to make this report. It’s one thing to be casing for money. It’s quite another to be interested in the contents of a police car. Obviously you would know if you had one there after nine this morning.

Greetings. In my experience, as well as observations, it does not appear that there is much, if any, enforcement of the Hands-Free Driving state law that went into effect in 2019 in the City of Bloomington. There also doesn't seem to be much accountability to that law as in my experience, the person who rear-ended me told the BPD officer she hit me because she was looking at her phone, but following too close was on the citation and not distracted driving. Why is that? I was told that he didn't want to put more than one reason down. Well, why not distracted driving as that is what she admitted to? Also, there doesn't seem to be any sort of a public safety education campaign in any way... I could imagine that the social media accounts would be a great place for a weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly Public Safety Announcement (PSA) for some friendly reinforcement, reminders, remedial lessons, etc. about the laws that provide structure around driving a couple ton heavy potentially lethal machine around these safe and civil streets. I think Bloomington motorists need a few reminders on some general laws about operating a motor vehicle, especially the hands-free driving state law. Can someone please speak a bit to this concern of mine? Much obliged for your time.

I went to retrieve my car at the 4th street parking garage last night after attending an event at the Waldron. When I got off the elevator on the 2nd floor I was approached by some disheveled guy who started cussing at me in an aggressive manner. I just turned away and went to my car. He kept cussing and got on the elevator.

Our next door neighbors that recently moved in within the last month have been aggressively loud. With them owning dogs that are constantly barking, as well as what sounds like people running and constantly banging in their apartment. These noises have been causing us issues as it is hard to study or focus or even just watch tv as they are constantly making noises. With the previous tenants we never heard them or had issues with them, which means it is them that is being too loud. We have noticed that there are an alarming number of people that seem to live there that contributes to the loudness, we have different landlords than them which means we can’t report them this way. We really just need them to be more quiet and to train the dog cause it shouldn’t be barking every minute. Sorry for the long message but this is really troubling to us and we need it fixed for peace of mind as it is making us go crazy.
