If you haven't yet finalized the text and layout for the 2024 Sanitation Collection Schedule, there is one improvement: Please print any solid waste pickup date exceptions in a readable font size as part of the Solid Waste & Recycling Checklist. The very fine print listed vertically on the 2023 magnet has obviously been overlooked by residents scheduled for Thursday route pickup. It would also help to have pickup exceptions listed on the website. Thank you.

The B Clear Open Data portal should follow the best practice of referencing source URLs over the HTTPS protocol.
For example on this page:
https://data.bloomington.in.gov/dataset/bloomington-city-council-districts-gis-data/resource/9b0438ae-fdba-44f3-a14a-b39fd63912d0
The link to the actual resource is not secured. It is served over plaintext `http`:
http://bloomington.in.gov/geoserver/publicgis/ows?service=WFS&version=1.1.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=publicgis:CityCouncilDistricts&outputFormat=shape-zip
This has practical implications for data users. Esri's ArcGIS Online product only supports loading URLS over 'https', so the current URLs don't work directly with Esri.
A test confirmed that the URLs are valid if "http" is simply replaced with "https" in the returned URLs.
Hopefully this means that this fix amounts to small configuration change to start referencing the secure versions of the resource URLs.
Thanks.

This site, representing the Council district is over a year old. Regardless of the disclaimer on the Bloomington.in.gove site, it is absolutely irresponsible of the city to provide such a tool, especially during an election, with completely misrepresentative data - what is the point, disinformation? This site should be taken down if it isn't maintained to reflect current districts.
Thanks,
James

City website (arcgis) showing voter precincts and their corresponding districts is in need of updating to the post-redistricting version.

The MyBloomington page doesn't seem to show districts based on the redistricting changes, so it's very difficult to see who will be on your ballot

I've tried to report an issue twice and don't think the web form is working correctly. This is from Safari on macOS.

Some calendar entries require logging into a Google account before info about the public meeting can be viewed.
It would be helpful to not require logging into a Google account before display of public meeting information in order to ensure greatest levels of accessibility and participation.
For example, on the page at
https://bloomington.in.gov/boards
clicking on the calendar links displayed on the right side of the page for the Feb 9 meeting of the Metropolitan Planning Organization Policy Committee or for the Feb 12 Board of Public Works Session displays a prompt to log into a Google account if the visitor is not already logged into a Google account.
In contrast, clicking on the calendar entry for the Feb 7 Common Council Regular Session immediately displays the associated public meeting information, without first requiring a Google login.
