Bring back the arts to the city farmers market. Everything needs to be in a central location. I am not going to go out of my way twice a week to a Tuesday market and Saturday when I work on tuesdays. There’s a great need for Tuesday market, but it’s just for food. Please bring back the culture, life, art, and vibrancy to the original staple of the BTown farmers market. We want the vendors, food, and music/art all in one
I am quite concerned with the continued lack of on duty lifeguards at the Bryan Park Pool during swimming lessons. Three days ago (6/7/21), I almost ended up jumping into the water myself to save my actively drowning 3 year old because her instructor had taken a child to the bathroom leaving another instructor to watch both his and her classes, unsuccessfully. In my incident report, I stated that there needs to be a lifeguard on duty other than the instructors because they cannot reasonably be expected to see everything around them and it's not the parents job either. Mind you, I have many years of being both a lifeguard, aquatics director, swimming instructor, and outdoor educator under my belt when I say this. It's not just my opinion. I was told in a follow-up meeting the next day with the aquatics director, Shanda(?), that there would be a lifeguard on deck or in the chair from now on. This, unfortunately was not the case, yet again, at tonight's lesson. I have attached a picture (I hope) showing that there are no lifeguards in the stand or on deck anywhere near the active lessons. If the argument is that the instructors are also watching the kids, please refer to Indiana Health Code 410 IAC 62.135 Lifeguards (g). I am filing this complaint through the city not to be a pain, as I've dealt with my share of those over the years, but because I genuinely believe this is an unsafe situation based on experience. Furthermore, it clearly doesn't seem to be resonating at the facility level.
For years this was held at Bryan Park Pool. I'm glad that Mills Pool has hosted it for a while. I suggest that now the event location alternate between the pools
I believe this tree behind my house was struck by lightening causing a large section of the tree to fall toward Moore's Pike. Much of what can be seen in the tree is vines, not leaves. Much of the tree is dead.
I am reporting a second dead tree behind my house that is on the street side of the sidewalk. This one is also covered in vines.
Follow up on 716518. Just to let you know that today's update, mentioned an email I didn't get.
I noticed that there is another concert this Sunday in Bryan Park. My family loves attending the concerts and movies since we live near by. I have noticed that the grass has was really long at the last concert and seems like has not been cut as regularly. Is there any chance it could be cut before these events?
Please start providing fair of the arts at Saturday market again. It’s really hard for working families to go during the week. It was part of the Bloomington vibe that made the market special. Please bring it back, it is widely missed!
There is a "Silver Maple" with a site ID of 45202 (per https://bloomingtonin.treekeepersoftware.com/) that is currently dead/dying on my property. I am concerned that the tree may break during a storm and either cause a road block or may injure someone. I am reaching out to see if the city will remove this tree.
Vendor applications for the 2022 Junk-In-The-Trunk are next to impossible to access on-line (as has been the case for as long as the event has been in existence). Why can this not be corrected ?
