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.
Hello, I’m a Louisville area Hoosier who visits Bloomington 10-15 times a year for #iubb, #iufb, high school events, and getaways with friends. I am writing to support bringing public fast charge stations for electric cars to town. The nearest for-pay fast charge stations are in Newberry and Terre Haute. Because most of my trips are up & back in one day, the numerous slow-change stations in parking garages or hotels do not help me unless it’s an extended stay. Thank you
What happened to Report #183445? Was it removed from public record?
With respect and gratitude, I am requesting that the minutes for the Animal Control Commission meetings for the second half of 2022 and year-to-date 2023 be uploaded to usual web pages. (Uploaded agendas suggest that such minutes have been approved by the Commission.) Thank you very much.

Is there any sort of RSS feed for the city website? I'm only mildly interested in news, but for city infrastructures projects in particular, I'm interested in keeping up to date. There are many social media platforms to try to keep up to date, often each having to be manually managed and updated. But for some of the odd folks such as myself who do not use them or agree with their practices, RSS is an excellent option. An RSS feed could be built into the deployment/change process for the website and utilize the automation to require no additional effort (aside from the initial implementation). These would be a great source for finding new information for folks like myself. Cheers, -ag
