Request for Zoning and Code Compliance Review – @826_shows Pop-Up : I am writing to request that the city monitor and review the operations of a recurring pop-up music venue publicized via Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/826_shows/.The venue operates out of a residential neighborhood, hosts public live music events, and charges an entry fee. This raises several municipal and state compliance concerns that I would like the city to address proactively with the operators: Zoning Use: The operation of a commercial, ticketed entertainment venue appears to conflict with residential zoning designations and the strict limitations placed on Home Occupations under the Bloomington UDO. State Fire Safety: Under Indiana Code § 22-14-3, public entertainment events that charge admission require a state Amusement and Entertainment Permit, which generally cannot be issued for Class 2 residential structures due to life-safety codes. Neighborhood Impacts: Recurring assemblies of this scale present consistent risks regarding the 24/7 noise ordinance (BMC Chapter 14.09) and residential occupancy limits. Please consider investigating this location and working constructively with the venue operators to guide them toward compliant business practices, or to help them transition their events to properly zoned commercial spaces.

In the Southeast Park tennis courts: there are yellow jackets living in one of the net support poles. They are in the eastern support pole of the West court. We were there last night and 3 yellow jackets were standing guard on top of the support pole, so we left to use the Bryan Park courts instead.
Sidewalk and stairs coming up the hill from the goat farm on the South side of Winslow road is frequently overgrown and hard to walk on. The brush between the street and sidewalk needs to be extensively cleaned out and frequently gets like this. Could you please clean it up and figure out a long term fix going forward? This is a critical walkway to the park and school for multiple neighborhoods. Thanks!
The ragweed and yard trash are out of control at this residence. Trash and recycling are scattered throughout the yard.
At 1808 south Rogers the front and back yard is totally overgrown. It has weeds several feet tall.
I am writing to formally report a severe safety incident involving the driver of Bus Line 6 today, September 4, 2026, at approximately 5:53 PM. At this time, the driver deliberately closed the doors early, trapping a passenger in the doorway. This reckless behavior put the passenger at immediate risk of physical injury and directly violates standard safety protocols. Furthermore, this same driver has been deliberately skipping designated bus stops, ignoring passengers waiting to board or alight. This behavior is completely unacceptable, compromises public safety, and warrants immediate disciplinary action, up to and including termination.Please investigate this incident using the route log and any available onboard camera footage. I request an update on the actions taken to address this dangerous behavior and ensure passenger safety moving forward.
