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.

Excessive Growth

Neighbor's house is barely visible due to overgrown plants. There is an infestation of rats, mice, moles, and snakes throughout their property, inside and outside. We keep our house well-maintained, but found evidence of rats and mice in our attic. We have an a/c unit up there and the wires were chewed. It was a costly repair and we were told that there could have been a fire. Numerous neighbors have talked to the homeowner at this property, but nothing has been done for years. We would really appreciate the city's immediate assistance in this matter before something serious occurs. Thank you!

Just south of the intersection of Rogers and Coolidge the multi-use path on the west side of Rogers is heavily impeded by overgrowth of a tree. This is dangerous. As part of the B-Line detour, this needs to be trimmed back.

I sent this to the info email address as well, but I noticed an open electric box at the Rock Creek Dr. and Childs Ct. intersection in Sycamore Knolls this morning. This is a heavily trafficked route for children headed to school and seems like a safety issue.

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.
