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.
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

I live at 2114 E. Rock Creek Drive, During Fiber installation between the street and sidewalk, the machinary that was used lifted my concrete pad making an uneven unsafe surface. This has not been repaired by the installers of the Fiber. Thanks for your attention to this matter and your response.
the abominable condition of the large homeless camp has been made even more disasterous by flooding. Debris and probably syringes are now plastered onto trees for a great distance
Our apartment seems to have been entered twice this week. I know because an item was left; in addition, an item was taken. These thefts are unacceptable.
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
