Route 5 reduced hours ending at 7pm causes multiple problems for music students and their fans and all who want to reduce downtown traffic at night. Bad move to reduce hours. More condos and apartments on this route produce more bus traffic recently. Hours should be increased not decreased.

The sidewalk widening project along S. Henderson St. is extremely dangerous for pedestrians and a hazard for vehicles pulling in and out of Winslow Plaza as well. The contractor dug 2' deep x 2' footings for new curbs at the sidewalks crossing the entrances to Winslow Plaza and put up now warning signs, barricades, cones, or caution tape. No sidewalk closed signs have been put up. Who is supervising this project?

John Hamilton is not performing well. Here are some failures:
1) high speed internet
2) clueless about military vehicle acquisition
3) UDO and more generally his `3-ring binder' nonsense
4) mismanagement of farmer's market strife
I have never voted for a Republican in 38 year but I'm writing
to the GOP to see if they can put forward a moderate.

This morning, my large recycling bin had been shoved through my lawn with such force that it left a 15" gouge. I can't imagine this was done by a person pushing the bin. I believe it was caused by the lifting arm of the truck being used to push the bin across the sidewalk. I witnessed the arm being used in this way a few weeks ago when the same bin was pushed with such force that its wheels snapped off and had to be repaired by the sanitation department. I would like someone to investigate the way the truck arms are being used and train the sanitation crews to avoid damaging property. I would also like someone to patch my lawn.

Hi,
My name is Kevin Lettelleir. I operate a photography business in town and we heavily rely on the internet for just about everything. Over the past 6 months, I have read stories about other towns who have taken action and implemented fiber internet systems. As a small business owner in this town, it's very disheartening that the only internet providers available to us are Comcast and AT&T.
Not only do these companies charge an excessive amount for extremely low internet speeds, but they also do not offer a Symmetrical connection. So while it says on paper that we are paying for a 10 MB/s internet connection, we are in fact paying for a 10 MB/s download speed and a 1 MB/s upload speed. This makes it hard to upload even the most basic things like large files or a few pictures. Uploading a photo gallery takes hours and cripples our connection.
As a lifelong resident of Bloomington, I was hopeful that we would be looking to push for affordable fiber like other progressive cities including Chattanooga, TN. I was delighted to find that Bloomington had been working with a Canadian company to achieve this goal, even though the deal fell through. What really disappoints me, and what I think everyone should be upset about, is the fact that Bloomington appears to have stopped pushing. I can't find any new information about a push for fiber connectivity. It's like we have given up on trying to make this happen. We could be the first city in Indiana to pave the way in Fiber connectivity and reap the benefits such a system would provide.
I know there great challenges in this, but it needs to be done. Fiber connectivity will be the future. Private companies will not provide this to EVERY Bloomington citizen at a reasonable price, but the City can.

Debris Removal (Sand, General Street Debris)
3005 S Olcott BLVD

Some time ago, the street was patched by the curb of my next door neighbor. During this last storm the patch was raised up and broke into pieces. The larger pieces remained in that location but the rest of the patch and gravel washed down the street on it’s way to drain but ended up in front of my drive. The city was repairing the patch today and I asked if they could get the patch that was in front of my house and they said I would have to contact the city. I always remove debris that blocks drain but I never know what to do with all the gravel. If I know the sweeper is coming or I see them in the neighborhood I try to brush it into piles but the sweepers don’t generally get it all. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
