Traffic Related Complaints

Case Date:
8/14/2014

The trees overhanging the road in multiple locations on S. Olcott Blvd in Hyde Park are hanging so low that uless one travels in the middle of the road, the branches will hit windshields and antennas. Also when 2 cars are approching one of these areas one usaully has to yield(On a 2 way street) so they don't hit the branches). A prime example of this and the Visibility/Safety issue these low branches cause is the intersection of Daniel St. and Olcott Blvd.

At 3 am one night, someone at high speed jumped the curve and took out the no parking sign in front of our house, leaving gashes in the lawn. The sign is on the ground next to the street and should be put back up or taken away.

There used to be a bike rack in front of the Monroe County History Center and now there is not. Is it possible to get it replaced? We have a lot of students who bike to here to volunteer, but no place to lock up their bikes. Thank you!

Website & Web Services Feedback

Case Date:
8/17/2014

I find the city website rather difficult to use, and aesthetically, it isn't very pleasing. Personally, I find that it is in need of some updates and remodeling - it looks rather aged, and has many outdated links in pages. I am often very interesting in economic and park development, as well as future projects and proposals to the development of the city - such as the Certified Technology Park, and the Switchyard Park development. I hope to see a site redesign that streamlines everything, makes it beautifully simple, and highlights "new" news regarding city events and developments, while archiving some of the older events and developments.

Recycling

Case Date:
8/18/2014

When trash and recycling is picked up on my street (S. Washington), sanitation employees throw the empty cans and bins back down, which is both very loud early in the morning and had resulted in damage to my trash cans and bins. Monday mornings, the sidewalks of S. Washington are strewn with the cans and bins that have been tossed (rather than set) back on the sidewalk.

Potholes, Other Street Repair

Case Date:
8/19/2014

Pothole on Heritage (off E 3rd St) close to house #116. Heritage is dark at night, and therefore can be dangerous for the pedestrian. Also, huge overgrowth of foliage on sidewalk in front of 3813 E 3rd St. Obstructs the sidewalk. I noticed that when I get off the bus on E 3rd, in front of Century's building, the sidewalk ends rather than helps the pedestrian reach the corner of Smith Rd so that I can cross to get to E Morningside Dr. This is unacceptable for the pedestrian.

Parks & Playgrounds

Case Date:
8/20/2014

At the Ferguson Dog Park there is a large puddle the size of a large bathtub located near the shade shelter. At the moment it is full of green water, after a week or so it becomes a mud wallow with mud the consistency of glue. This feature never dries out and remains a continuing dog magnet. Even with the hose it is not easy to clean them up after they roll in it. A pickup load of gravel or wood chips would be greatly appreciated by many dog owners. Thanks(it is a great park for the dogs!)

Business

Case Date:

This is my second official noise complaint against Juannita's Mexican Restaurant, located at 620 W. Kirkwood Ave. Bloomington, IN 47404. The restaurant staff uses outdoor speakers to play music that can be heard outside property lines--I live across the street and can hear this music in my living room and bedroom, at times clearly enough for it to disrupt my sleep. I have complained directly to Juannita's management by phone, email, and in person on several occasions, to no lasting avail. Last May, I submitted a uReport regarding this issue and received a prompt and professional response from Jason Carnes, the Assistant Director of Small Business Relations. Mr. Carnes reached out to the Juannita's manager with a warning about the City’s noise ordinance, which seemed to be effective for a time. However, the music has recently become a problem again. I am a graduate student at IU, and dreading the prospect of facing another school year of being unable to concentrate or relax in my living space. Please let me know what further steps I can take to hold my neighbors accountable for this noise violation. Thank you, Kaitlin Mackenzie
