Thank you for the completion of the Sare Rd pedestrian path! Just outstanding! We who live in Hyde Park can now safely cross the street and access the neighborhoods and parks on the west side of the road and connect to Southeast Park! Wonderful!
Hello. I submitted another ticket (#169840) without realizing my phone number and email would appear in google searches associated with my name which is a privacy concern. Can my personal information please be deleted from that ticket?
Please paint the pickle ball lines on the courts at the RCA park. A portable toilet would have been nice these last few weeks. Perhaps converting some of the tennis courts to pickle ball courts as more people are playing the sport now.
uReport Case #174148 The drain was cleared only because they are getting ready to do my leaves. This picture shows where the grass died because of them dumping what was in the great onto the grass 034 weeks ago. I filed that report then I have cleared it twice since cuz we've had two large rains over an inch and a half and two inches in my neighborhood. I find it a fallacy to say that it's been closed because they're coming to sweep up all the leaves and they happen to rake near it. As I said in an earlier you report I want to file a grievance on this case. I've lived here over 20 years and I fought with them to keep these drains clear and they cleaned all five of the other drains and left the one that's used the most full of leaves and then when they do clear it they dump the leaves up on the curb is summer winter anytime and it kills the grass. About the time we get the grass growing again somebody comes around and does it again. It's more than frustrating it's criminal.
Your verification method with the photos is terrible. Using this in a phone it tormented me for 10 minutes before refusing to register my issue. Your system is great but for the verification issue, which seems to have been designed to torment people into not reporting. I assume most people are using their telephones - serving up nine images (including broad streetscapes) and asking if any fire hydrants or bicycles are depicted, is an impossible task without a jewelers’ eyepiece. The UX is broken, as the kids say. Please consider a different method or no method. The fact that this has to be even reported tells me you must have a system designed by teenagers.
I am currently attending the virtual City of Bloomington Board of Park Commissioners meeting via Zoom. I am disappointed by the city’s negligence to make this meeting more accessible for those with hearing barriers. Why don’t ALL virtual city meetings have closed captions and/or live signing?
the vote to remove the homeless camp at Seminary park was, by any moral opinion, disgusting, reprehensible, and downright evil. how dare you sit in your offices and make the decision to leave hundreds of people without any form of shelter, on the streets, at the beginning of winter. i understand an alternative was given night of, but those people are in the position they’re in because the government has proven time and time again that it will fail them when they need the help. you have proven this point to them once again. they had no reason to accept your handout, shame on all of you.

It's been well over a year now and photo uploads still don't work from mobile. I'm uploading a screenshot here. Staff are always confused by my ureports because the photos turn into just one big pixel. We're about to find out if it happens on desktop too...
The landing page for uReport states the following: "Use uReport to notify the City of community issues, such as potholes, graffiti, malfunctioning street lights, and more." Perhaps there could be a FAQ of sorts added that clarifies that broad statement. The FAQ could point residents to Duke Energy for reporting malfunctioning street lights. I appreciate the DPW staff member who submitted a request to Duke Energy on my behalf, but it probably would be best for everyone involved to be able to filter out some requests that do not need to be reported to the city. Additionally, I suggest the graffiti part be amended to state, graffiti on city property, as it is unclear that the city does not take care of graffiti on private property even if it is offensive with foul language. Thank you.
