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.
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.
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.
Again. The City's HVAC unit on the north side of the Showers Building along 10th Street is incessantly screeching again. I documented the noise at 79 decibels earlier this morning. For weeks prior to the constant noise there was intermittent loud screech that sounded like a car accident when the unit would start up. It is startling and jolts you out of a peaceful walk from over a block away. This is a nuisance. My office is on the northwest corner of the Showers Building and I can hear the unit through the brick walls. When will you be upgrading this entire unit? It seems to be chronically having these loud sound issues.
Unhoused individual living in white truck located in corner of parklot next to Dialysis business. Beware: She has a large dog with her. Truck also loaded up with recent dumpster diving. Been there a week now.
There is a "tent" structure in the front yard of this property. The legal owner is deceased and her adult children occupy this house without paying taxes. The homeless people who congregate here do not have access to a bathroom or sewage system. The property is littered with clothing and trash. This property has been under an abatement, which I believe ended when the property was sold recently at the Treasurer's tax sale. This property continues to be an eyesore and a health concern from feces & urine (from lack of restroom access), as well as rodent & insect investations. I have also seen needles from drug use scattered on the road in the past.
