I live at 912 S. Rogers, across the street from a homeless shelter. The lights in the alley behind my house (the alley that runs between Dixie and Dodds streets) are not working. One seems to be burnt out and one is at half power and shuts off every few minutes.

As the city refuses to put a light at the entrance of Blue Ride and N. Walnut you need to lower the speed limit starting at the light at Cascades. When turning left out of the neighborhood it is somewhat blind, so you can often pull out and a car comes right up on you. The speed limit on Tapp from 37 is much lower with no business or a neighborhood.

This, undoubtedly, may be the weirdest email you will probably read. Or one of the weirdest. I am a guy who is a collector of patches, and wherever I go, I collect a patch as a souvenir and reminder of a place that I have been. I have been to Bloomington, IN, on a handful of occasions, however I have neither seen or found a City of Bloomington Patch or an IU patch, for that matter, to add to my collection. In such cases, I can have a custom embroidery company make a patch, based on a design that I give them. Now logos, like the logo for the City of Bloomington, are often copyrighted, understandably, to avoid replication without the approval of the given source. Considering this, I wanted to check with you guys, and see if it was permissible and acceptable by you to use your city logo to make a custom patch with. This would be for my personal collection, and not profiteering off your city's logo, but merely as a memento. It is out of respect that I make this request. If it not acceptable, I understand, and I will respect that decision. I will attach a link to the image of your city's logo, or a logo similar to it: https://recyclenation.com/2014/01/recycling-profile-bloomington-indiana/ https://www.bloomingtonlifesciences.com/city-of-bloomington/ If you could get back with me at your earliest convenience, I appreciate it. Thank you.

Where the new water line is going in on Arlington/17th there is cut actoss the road at the 46 bridge. It has been pretty deep to drive across but today on my way home the west bound lane has ~6inch drop towards the shoulder. Even slowing down I was afraid I damaged my car because you cant see the drop until you have already drove across it. Im in a bigger vechicle and it was a huge jar...

Please turn off the A/C and please turn on the heat in the Skywalk between the 4th St. garage and Fountain Square. The climate inside the Skywalk is routinely colder than the outside temperature. Thank you!

Hello, I would like to draw your attention to an issue with item 6 of the e-scooter guidelines on the city website; "6. Park the scooter in a bike rack or in another lawful spot on public property that does not block the right-of-way, limit access for individuals with disabilities, risk damaging private or public property, or jeopardize public safety." E-scooters should not be parked “in a bike rack” as they do not require locking and have their own kick-stand support. When e-scooters are parked inside of bike racks they are blocking access to a vital space for cyclists. Parking e-scooters in bike racks causes the same inconvenience to cyclists as parking e-scooters in the middle of a sidewalk causes to pedestrians. Failing to notice this basic issue feels like the city of Bloomington has forgotten or decided to ignore the needs of cyclists. I ask that the wording in the e-scooter guidelines be changed to ensure that bike racks are reserved for bikes and other vehicles that require locking, and proper notice be given to e-scooter users about this change. Thank you.

The B-line trail, between Tapp Road and Grimes, there is a lengthy u-shaped detour. It is covered in large rocks that make it nearly impossible to navigate on a road bike (my bike tires are 25mm). Several times I have nearly fallen over as the rocks engulf my small tires. I am a female bike commuter. I commute to the hospital at 6:30am and come home at 7:30pm. I no longer feel safe riding the trail due to the hazards of this rocky detour. I am at risk for either taking a significant fall or puncturing a tire. This makes me vulnerable. Please, either pack down the large rocks or cover this detour with a tarp.
