No problems to report at this time, just thanking the staff that responds to my reports.
I'm very impressed on the response times from report to repair and or acknowledgement.
It is very encouraging to know that my tax dollars are used in constructive ways.
Question:
There are times I wish to call in; instead of using the reporting app.
Is there a list of #'s for the different departments that could have a list of categories associated with what each one responds to for accurate reporting.
ie.
When I see a large bag of trash in the middle of the road (be it highway 37 or S. Walnut st.) being run over by multiple vehicles I think about calling utilities, but maybe I should be calling trash collection or police since its a road hazard.
Please advice.
Thank you

Not really a problem, but maybe an improvement to a situation.
I remember, while visiting Rehobooth, Va.
That the parking meters had an available app. that I loaded on to my I phone.
I was able to pay my parking meter via a credit card I had registered with a third party through my iPhone.
The program even sent me a txt message when the meter timer was running low and asked if I wished to continue billing my credit card.
I think Bloomington would benefit by this next step.
Thank you.

Seriously City of Bloomington ? You've put in meters and on top of 25cents an hour and parking ticket REVENUE, you are also requiring the user / city resident / visitor to pay YOUR credit card transaction fee. Really ? Please name me one downtown merchant that requires the customer to pay this fee. Ridiculous. I will be shopping / eating / recreating elsewhere. Not downtown Bloomington.
Good luck to you and your soon to be very irate merchants / downtown business owners.

Traffic Suggestions

I'm not sure if the city or IU would be responsible for this request, but I'd like to suggest the placement of signs making it clear pedestrians should not walk on the west side of Union between the RR tracks and 10th St. There's a sidewalk on the east side of the street. Pedestrians walking through here make it very tough for the E bus to safely cross the tracks and get into the proper traffic lane at the intersection. (I'm a campus bus operator.) Of course, the signs would be best placed such that buses' mirrors won't clip them. Thanks.
