Read what it says here about holiday delays in Sanitation Services. Can you make any sense of what it it is saying about Labor Day? Why is the note for Labor Day nonsensically phrased differently from the others? What meaning am I to make of it? That's pretty infuriating. Don't send my some blathery response. Just fix it. https://bloomington.in.gov/sanitation
Request review of this street for implementation of street lights. More and more lots are being sold and erected. We could use lights, it's pitch black out here. Thank you!
Bike seems to have been abandoned on our front lawn. First saw it there early Saturday morning (9/15).
Shame on the City for pushing for a market based downtown where only the rich can afford to shop and lounge. Some degree of free parking is a public resource for those who must drive. If you want to create transportation alternatives, great, but instead the City keeps making steps toward where those who are rich and/or have time can use the roadways while the rest of us must stay home. Residents should have downtown access.
Seriously? No free downtown parking, at all? Make it even harder to get around a small city like Bloomington. Planning for transportation in this town sucks. Give regular people an option without paying an arm.
I would like to ask the City of Bloomington to begin considering steps to put ordinances, rules, regulations on these Bird Scooters that have infiltrated our city. I have seen almost every person riding in violation of the safety rules the company urges. There have been two people on a scooter, all of them without helmets, and riding on sidewalks/all over campus. They are getting parked on campus bike racks, cluttering up side walks, and generally are unsafe and without any kind of ordinance in place, could only cause potential risk to both car drivers, pedestrians, cyclists etc. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45596449 There are known deaths on these modes of transportation. Indianapolis enacted an ordinance after unsafe crashes had occurred. Bloomington needs to be aware of the risk and make stations for these scooters with agreements on proper use.
2 Bird scooter, parallel to each other, taking up half of sidewalk, south side Hunter at Woodlawn. The companies want them convenient for pickup? (Could be worse since there is room still to walk
10/11/2018 Extraordinarily loud concert going on over here on the eastside, apparently permitted by mayor's office? If so, unconscionable. This is a residential neighborhood, young children, people up early for work. I'm at least a half mile from the site and can easily hear it in my house. Will be contacting councilperson about this as well.
Late and loud concert with fireworks next to a nonstudent neighborhood on a weeknight. Not cool City . Should NOT have been approved. Totally inappropriate venue for something like that.
Last night there was VERY loud music until around 10:30 coming from the Knights Ridge apartment complex area. The base was so loud it was almost unbearable. I live across 446 in a brick home several yards from 446 so I can't imagine what it would be like being any closer to this event. I called the Sheriff's department to complain and was told they had an approved permit for a fund raising event for the Boys & Girls Club. This should never have been approved on a Thursday night with music being that loud. Please use better judgement in the future when approving these types of permits.
