There is a young man riding a motorized dirt bike, at high rates of speed, on the trails in RCA park. The young man stated this is allowed. Is this ok? There are people walking these trails and noise from the dirt bike was extremely loud. Can you please email me and let me know if I should report this to the police if it happens again? Thank you.
Do not close old 37 through casecades park or we are going to vote you out.
I've been trying to email griffy.boathouse@bloomington.in.gov to do boat rentals but every time I send an email it gets bounced back with the message. "We're writing to let you know that the group you tried to contact (griffy.boathouse) may not exist, or you may not have permission to post messages to the group. A few more details on why you weren't able to post:" I got the email from this page https://bloomington.in.gov/parks/parks/griffy-lake/boathouse
I am not reporting an issue but just providing general feedback about the business development aspects of Bloomington. The city should work to attract more eco-friendly businesses for personal services, such as a high-quality Aveda salon. Also, I believe that Bloomington would be a better place for adult working professionals if major area employers exceeded Cook Medical and Indiana University. Even amid and after the pandemic recovery, more area businesses should consider offering remote work opportunities to attract more talent to the Bloomington community. Also, Bloomington needs more flexible housing options (month to month rentals) that do not require leasing contracts. Perhaps the city should even consider attracting and implementing more quality and affordable extended stay hotel housing to accommodate professionals and students in transition.
Our recycling did not get picked up & I don’t know why. Please advise.
In the cover photo of the May-August 21 Program Guide, your young athlete is not wearing a helmet. Wrong message to those who use the skate park.
The intersection of Adams and Kirkwood badly needs left turn signals. My wife and I deliver Meals on Wheels once a month. Our route has us coming down Adams from the north, and then turning eastward on Kirkwood. More than once we’ve found that turn difficult. Mostly it has been large streams of traffic coming toward us, making it hard to turn left. The worst has been when there seemed to be no traffic, but as we were ready to turn left, a car came fast up the hill toward us, and it was not visible until the last minute. Please fix this problem!

Many times during the week I have to pass thru the intersection of S. Mitchell and E. 3rd. Most of the time this car sits there blocking the lane. You can see the school of music in the background AND the No Parking sign.
The portable restrooms located near the basketball court at Switchyard Park are in terrible condition and have been for weeks. The attached photo is an indication of how it looks every day. More generally, the restroom situation at Switchyard needs to be reviewed. closures during the winter months are not only inconvenient, they are not practical for the many people who use the park during the winter. Moreover, the amount of trash at Switchyard, especially near the pickle ball courts, the basketball court, and the bocce ball courts is awful. And on the bocce courts, there still is no rake for grooming the courts for play. I realize that the summer months are coming and there are likely to be more people working and volunteering in the park to keep it clean and safe. However, for a park as popular as Switchyard, there needs to be a review of how resources for maintenance are allocated to it. For example, there seems to be no reason the restroom within the police substation needs to be closed in the winter. And it would be nice to have lights installed at the pickle ball courts. speaking of the pickle ball courts, might it be possible to install a rack where players can leave their paddles to indicate who is next for a court? Maybe a 1-hour time limit if people are waiting? Thanks for listening.
