HUB Lincoln (address noted from the flyer) left flyers in drivers side car door handles parked in lots downtown (reserved spaces for local businesses). This soliciting tactic is unwanted and seems unusual and like a safety issue. The leasing office is listed as 118 N Walnut St Suite 100.
What are these channels called, technically? I call this one the "Davis Street Canal." There's another between Mitchell and Eastside at Hunter. And one somewhere in Prospect Hill or the Near West Side. I often walk past the one along Davis, and always wonder what they are called, officially. Please satisfy my curiosity, if you can. Thanks!!
Hi, apologies if this isn’t the correct place for this, but I need to express my concern. Over the last year or so, I’ve taken more of an interest in City Council meetings and have been watching them on CATS when I can. I’ve noticed an odd…phenomenon(?). From what I’ve observed, council members more or less attack (sorry for lack of better term) city-hired consultants when they’re presented with information that they don’t agree with. Tonight’s community survey results being the latest example. It almost seemed like multiple members of council were suggesting that a firm be hired based on their ability to provide the data they preferred, rather than proven surveying methods. Again, this may just be me, but the aggressive questioning and more or less insulting of the “expert” was very off-putting. It happened with Hopewell presentations, too. Why does council feel the need to attack and then soap box? Everything feels knee-jerk and emotion based. I just wish there was more level-headed, unbiased conversation in these meetings. Like, these are the people making decisions for their voters but so many of their speeches are about them personally and may mention constituents, but in a very flippant way (if that makes sense). Anyway, it’s just concerning to me. These people are supposed to be representatives of the residents of Bloomington and therefore Bloomington itself, yet do not hesitate to make offensive comments to people hired to ultimately help the city become better. At what point does Bloomington just get the reputation of no one wanting to work with/for us because council is more or less abusive if they aren’t given information/data they agree with? Sorry if this just comes off as a rant—I truly hope it finds its way to some welcoming ears and eyes. And maybe, just maybe, inspires some change. I will use my singular vote each election cycle and hope for the best, in the meantime.
I live at 837W 6th Street at the corer of W 6th and the 200 block of Waldron. There is a Maple tree on the City side of the sidewalk whose branches a hanging over the sidewalk such that walkers have to duck or go around as they walk by. It needs to be trimmed. Thank you, Gracia Valliant
The retention pond in Coppertree community on south Coppertree has been at normal level only twice in 2026. The last time was July 27. (Photo included which shows the elevated level line) Subsequently the community got significant rainfall on Saturday August returning the high level.
The two trees on either side of my driveway have branches that are starting to scrape our cars as we pull in. I have tried to clip some of them but the trees need to be pruned back from the trunks. The lower branches are obstructing our driveway.
Why was there an emergency alarm - usually a tornado warning - at 3:27 EST this afternoon - 7.30.26
There's another large piece of equipment parked behind their house in the old alley. It looks like a big fire hazzard
This tree(s) are blocking the street light and the 25mph speed limit sign right below it. I’d appreciate it if you guys could come out and trim it, please. Thank you in advance. :)
Wasn't sure how to categorize this issue of cigarette litter. north sidewalk on Kirkwood, outside of Crazy Horse and Alley Bar. Patrons of these two businesses frequently litter their cigarettes onto the sidewalk, into the planter, into the drain, into the metal cage surrounding the pipes--without extinguishing them. It's pretty gross and also a fire hazard. And I'm guessing when the cigarettes go into that drain, they end up in Clear Creek, which isn't great for the environment (not that there aren't other issues affecting Clear Creek's cleanliness, but still). I've noticed it for years, but I guess I only cared enough to write a UReport now. Because earlier this week I was walking my dog on that sidewalk, and someone flicked their cigarette onto the ground near me, and my dog must have thought it was a treat or a scrap of food because she tried to gobble it up. And I think it burnt her tongue a little because she was whining for the rest of the day. Maybe we could get Crazy Horse and Alley Bar to set up cigarette receptacles so their patrons have a designated place to safely dispose of cigarettes?
