I live on Woodburn Ave. An on Wednesday March 20th around 930am the person driving this city vehicle not only was driving way to fast down my street where kids live and play. But while out putting markings down was loudly talking/yelling to himself I assume, but it was foul language that I would not want my child to hear and possibly repeat. I know in my field of work, when you clock in you are representing your place of work. I am shocked that this is the way the city is representing out in the public eye.

Residents growing concerned about the force fit of the north west side of county for new jail complex location. Is the city council and administration working to advocate for a more centralized area? This should not be placed to impact commuters, the adjacent retirement homes and elderly and minor care facilities nearby, in addition to various homes and the adjacent community to this “north park” location. The south side of Bloomington received backing to prevent the rezone and placement of the facility there, which arguably is a better location than this new proposal! Will the Council and Administration be stepping up to get the County to consider alternate plans and locations? The karsts, adjacent quarries, and potential for park land to the north west should be considered as high priority instead of an incarceration center. We’re not in favor of increasing the jail size or this location!

I believe the city of Bloomington can increase its tax revenues from various forms such as bringing in more residents and students or increasing the average spending of each resident. I am a MBA student at IU and I have a few ideas to help this beautiful city prosper.

Just noticed G5 is launched a climate dashboard for the city of Bloomington. Why don't you fix the fucking traffic lights around town so you don't literally get stopped by every single lie in a row it's in this one goes green driving the speed limit you get to the next one it goes red

Residents look to a mayor to represent them and what the city stands for. If that is standing up to hate, or for a sustainable world, the Mayor should not be too cowardice to amplify voices, instead of already chasing the next election cycle. Absolutely things like resolutions should not be priority one, but it's hard to feel safe living in a community if our mayor will turn the other way when we and/or they are being legislated against, abused, slaughtered, or otherwise harmed. How about, "The buck stops here," instead of, "Not my problem," Mayor Thompson? You're starting to sound like IU, but I suppose that's where you last held leadership. Step up for your city.

The IU President is out of control, turning the police as a military force against student residents of this city peacefully protesting for peace. Issue a statement or otherwise take action that shows the leadership of this city stands with its residents and their ability to exercise their conscientious rights. Where is our Mayor during this time of crisis? Sad leadership void.

If the Mayor truly stands with Hamas and the terrorist supporting mob she should immediately resign and take her whole staff with her. I wonder how Jewish employees of the city of Bloomington feel knowing their “leader” agrees that they should all be eliminated. It would be great to actually see a person in that office with an actual spine. If she will not resign then the taxpayers in Bloomington should immediately begin the efforts for a recall. And all of the signs that say no place for hate should all be taken down. Kerry has praise for hate and racism.

So now the city council joins the country and flag hating Mayor in their support of a terrorist mob who wants to see ALL Jews eliminated. What a surprise! All of you sit on your Lilly white asses and defend terrorist and groups that support terrorists (Like Black Lives Matter). But you do nothing for the citizens of Bloomington except increase the burden on them for EVERYTHING. As a city employee and a proud Veteran, I cannot put into words my disappointment and outrage at the people who are supposed to be leaders of this community. You all are a joke and should resign in shame. My wish as someone who proudly served and who comes from a long line of military service would be that all of you and the childish mob on campus would be rounded up and flown to Palestine and left! Then you wouldn’t have to live in such an awful country. “When you listen to fools, the mob rules”

I tried to use this area to have a quick meeting with colleagues before going to an appointment at a business on the square. This area was unavailable due to the mess. Balloons, needles, beverage cans, etc. (The yoga mat is mine.) Further, these benches are damaged and appear to be unmaintained. I then moved to the corner of the square where no needles were visible. There I was immediately solicited by panhandlers twice. All of this is unacceptable and I hope to see these areas cleaned and maintained on a proper schedule. The frequency with which I am required to defend myself physically against panhandlers here is becoming unbearable. It is unsafe to be downtown in Bloomington, Indiana.

Hello, I am writing in support of local urban agriculture. I was very glad to discover GardenQ at 2110 E Covenanter and want to express my support for community based agriculture and education. I recently wrote about strategies for sustainable food policy (“Putting Food in the Driver’s Seat: Aligning food systems policy to advance sustainability, health, and security,” in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, September 2023), and I believe their efforts are forward-facing in making Bloomington a hub and example for urban agriculture. Thank you.
