Hi, I graduated from Bloomington South in 1999 and lived a mile away from the school throughout the 80's and 90's. I never heard the football announcements from home during that time, so I am shocked to discover how loud they are now, now that I have moved back to the South Side and away from the noisy student rental area near campus. I can hear the football announcements clearly from Bryan Park, from my house in Sycamore Knolls, and from a friend's house in Spicewood, 1.6 miles away from the football field as the crow flies. A friend of mine who lives on Sweetbriar is completely miserable from all this noise. There is no reason the announcements and music need to be so loud, and it is clearly a violation of city noise ordinances, especially after 9pm on Friday nights. More importantly, why does Bloomington South want to destroy the hearing of all their football players and fans? Is there anything that can be done to plead with the school to be more reasonable? 14.09.030 - Noises prohibited. (c)(4) It shall be a violation of this chapter to play, use, operate or allow to be played, used, or operated any radio, television, digital media player, loudspeaker, sound amplifier, musical instrument, or any other machine or device for producing or reproducing sound in such a manner that the sound produced persists continuously or intermittently for a period of at least fifteen minutes and can be heard outside the immediate premises from the location of the emitter by a person with normal hearing. Sound that is clearly audible to a person with normal hearing from any place other than the premises from which the source of the sound is located, when the sound occurs between the hours of nine p.m. and seven a.m., is prima facie evidence of a violation of this section. It seems like it would be a simple fix if the football announcers were to turn the volume down just a little bit, it would help a lot of people, and harm no one. Thank you, Katie Edmonds
Re: Case #165561 Some debris from the accident remains near the RR underpass. Trash and weeds are still on Adams, and on Fountain, and on 8th Streets. Streets near the university at least get swept. Can the City seal the streets, so the weeds won't grow?

We do not understand why HAND has not responded to any “Snow on Sidewalk” reports this week. All 50 reports from this week are currently “open”. Names associated with some of them are Rob Council, Jo Stong, and Chastina Hayes. Are they all sick this week? Or is HAND just waiting until the weather warms up? Why do you even have an option to report snow on sidewalks if you do not really care to enforce that item in the Code. It seems that HAND should have a similar responsibility to enforce. Can HAND be fined if they fail to do so? Maybe we need a Bloomington version of DOGE to shake things up a bit…
The response provided for Case# 201024 (https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=201024) was insufficient and dismissive ("Cases are left open until they comply. A large number of tickets were issued, however, tickets are tracked in a separate system from Ureport."). It is not true that all the "Sidewalk Snow Removal" complaints were followed up with tickets. Rather, they were *all* updated soon after 8am on Wed 26 Feb with various comments such as, "Snow has melted", "No longer valid", etc. There is no reason to lie - better to just ignore requests from residents and go back to whatever it is you do all day long. Eventually, we will get the message that submissions to UReport are a waste of time and we will stop bothering your office with such things.
