Street lights are out on E Third St and S Washington St, E Smith Ave and S Washington, and E Second St and S Washington St. Every street lamp on S Washington has been out since at least the beginning of September. The entire street is pitch black at night and it creates a very unsafe environment for when I and other residents on or around S Washington walk home.
I'm writing to express my gratitude for the efforts Bloomington Parks and Rec is making to support reduce pollution, save money, and support native species and ecosystem services in our city parks. I've been particularly delighted to see former areas of lawn in Winslow Park and Crestmont Park converted to no mow zones and planted with native trees! After just a short period of time, these areas are already supporting wildlife and adding natural beauty (asters were blooming today!) in a ways that mowed lawns never could. Thank you for supporting these no mow zones - I'd love to see more of them!
Very large pothole/ungraded street surface on Rogers Street - just north of 2nd Street intersection, in the northbound lane.
Neighbors tell me that city employees dug up this 20x20 foot area of my front lawn last week while I was out of town. I want it repaired -- NOW.
Hello! Has Bloomington parks and rec ever looked into building a pump track in one of the parks? Kokomo has one: https://www.cityofkokomo.org/departments/northside_pump_track.php and Indy has one although it's not well advertised and very very small: https://parks.indy.gov/parks/sandorf-park/ I've never been involved in any of the city parks efforts before and have no idea what it takes to build for example the existing two skate parks at cascades and switchyard that cater more to street and vert/bowl skateboarding and other sports. I was very surprised to see that Kokomo has a pump track and we didn't. Thanks for any information you can provide !
Please keep introducing new no mow zones in public parks to increase the growth of native plant species and increase biodiversity in our town. Increasing these spaces can greatly improve the quality of life in the surrounding area, not just for humans but also for many crucial insects and animals in our city.
this is another report about trash at 612 W. Clover Terrace (prev. report #198717) This house needs a larger trash bin! That would solve the problem. This is their trash every week and the picture is today - after our trash pickup. Same thing last week. Trash all over the ground and they don't pick up. Landlord needs to get bigger cart!
I walk frequently on East 7th Street between union and hillsdale. While I know this was paved in the not too distant past there are several aging lines if you will for me that span the road from side to side. And there are quite a few areas along the edges that are starting to cobweb crack. Just thought I'd bring it to your attention so you can put it on your sealing schedule
I work in the office at mccsc transportation. Bus drivers are asking if trees/bushes can be trimmed at the railroad tracks just past W 10th St on N Adams St to help with their visibility. They're not able to see clearly when stopping there. Thank you for your help.
This is a heads up that the parking app that the City Of Bloomington uses isn’t working, at least for me. I don’t know if other users are having this problem, but it won’t sign me in. I have an existing account, and it says it will send you an email, but it never does. I’ve checked my spam folder. I tried this Thursday, and today (Friday) and still no email from either time. I’m using quarters now but I think it’s worth harassing the company.
