Parks & Rec Programs

Case Date:

Hello, I couldn't find a more appropriate forum or contact information to use for this concern. I'm not sure if there are anymore movies in Bryan Park for the season, so if not maybe this could be applied to next year. I am wondering if the event could have a sort of rule for bringing lawn chairs. It would be really nice if folks bringing lawn/camp chairs could sit on one side and others with blankets and sitting on the ground could sit on another side. I was grateful to spend time with a friend watching a movie put on by the parks system. We came early and were prepared with blankets but ended up having to rearrange everything multiple times before and during the movie because of individuals coming in and setting up chairs in front of us, therefore blocking the screens. I know that there were plenty of people around us with the same issues. I think having a split down the middle of the lawn would be an easy way to make this a non-issue. (I am not including folks who need adaptive seating, as theirs' should always be a primary concern and I assume there is a place in front for accessible spots already in place.) Thank you so much for taking the time to read through my report and please pass it along to another individual who may be a better resource. Have a great day! Kam

Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)

350 W 11th ST

Case Date:
10/8/2018

I am submitting this Ureport on behalf of Upland Brewing. Pete Batule of Upland Brewing contacted me on 10-5-18 to say that Upland has been experiencing significant issues with odor coming from the storm drains on the north side of 11th street directly in front of Upland's patio. The odor is having a negative impact on their patio dining customers. Here is background on the issue as provided by Mr. Batule: Upland has had ongoing issues over the last few years with odors near the patio. They installed a piece of equipment above their lift station (the Peacemaker) next to the patio to neutralize the smell coming from the lift station. It wasn’t until the Peacemaker was installed that they suspected most of the odor was coming from the storm drains. Phil Peden has done some investigation on the storm drains. He noted there is an illicit connection tying to the north side of the storm box. Phil doesn't believe it is tied to a toilet because there isn't paper in it, but perhaps is related to byproduct or a wash drain/sink coming from elsewhere. Upland has dye tested their facility and found no evidence that the connection on the north side of the storm box is connected to their facilities. The odor comes on very strong at times to the point where they have to relocate customers. They notice an increase in odor around times when it rains and storm drain activity increases. James Hall and I discussed this issue on 10/8/18 and James has started to follow up internally at CBU on next steps. Kelly

Traffic Related Complaints

Case Date:
10/8/2018

What is the plan to address the literal impassability of 10th street across campus during the day? It is insane the City allows that road block to continue. Any what is the plan to overall approve east west vehicle traffic across town? Ideally multilane options. Again, insane. Would actively recommend not moving to or working in Bloomington due to traffic problems here. I love Bloomington promotes walking, biking, scooters, etc. But the solution is not making life hell for drivers often limited in options. Someone needs to get their act together. This is not ok.

Could you please tell me where I can find the pdfs listed on page 39 of the Switchyard Park Master Plan? For example, I would like to access this report: https://bloomington.in.gov/media/media/application/pdf/57.pdf. It appears to be no longer available, and nor do others on the page. Thank you.

Can the City please do something to encourage Kroger to use or sell the eastside Marsh. A corporation buying a building and keeping it empty intentionally to dissuade competition is not cool. Please forward to Mayor's office so he knows residents do not want a large building sitting empty unfairly. Thank you. Other Cities have found solutions to such behaviors.

The cover of the water meter at 1214 E 1st St is leaking water. I remember that this happened during one of the past winters. I don't know if anyone is living there right now. This is not my address but a neighbor's. I pass it when walking my dog. Joan Hershey jhershey@gmail.com
