The BMCMPO received the following message/question from Mr. Sam Melchior (dsamuelm375@gmail.com) who asked the following:
"Hi,
I was wondering if there is any consideration of geo fencing the IU campus and downtown to control the dangerous use of e scooters. They are terribly dangerous and do not provide the safe eco friendly transportation advertised.
Sam, a concerned citizen "
We would ask that someone respond to Mr. Melchior regarding the geofencing of scooters within the City of Bloomington.
Thanks,
Pat Martin

This is the Dunkin Donut drive through on east third street Sunday10/16/2023. Something needs to be done about these problems. When IU students quit coming here because of this all over town maybe you will do something. This is disgusting. Only in Bloomington. It’s gotten totally out of hand.

Someone was killed by a drunk driver and I can’t use my scooter anymore because the city is a bunch of idiots.

Power in Park Ridge East is frequently out. Neighbors and the Association have flagged this unsuccessfully as an issue with Duke. Outages often take time for restoration beyond what would be expected. Basic power in neighborhoods should be a staple of good governance. I understand both the State and Duke are primary contacts for this, but can municipal governance please help flag this to Duke as a concern. Our household lost power yesterday and then again today (still out). Power reliability here has been less than anywhere I have lived, including internationally. Sentiment is similar among many other residents. As a sample from another resident's posted concerns yesterday:
"I thought Duke did a lousy job of tree trimming this yea, and I'm beginning to think that was a correct observation. AC power in Park Ridge East is the least reliable of any place I've lived in the US and compares unfavorably to Ankara, Turkey, where I lived in the 1960s."
Another poster from yesterday:
"Agreed, power outages in PRE are a regular occurrence."
I also had to contact Duke to correct dangerous power fluctuations in their line this year near my home, which was corrected after being flagged as a major fire hazard by my electronic monitoring company.
Your advocacy for improvements would be appreciated and expected. Thank you.

There are city/county/government employees smoking outside by the sidewalks, trash enclosure, bench, bike parking, etc. all the time. This hurts pedestrian health as people walk around the whole building and use the space all day.

Hope our mayor can help! Cannot get records at county health department as it is not open? Came by and it is closed without prior public notice. All residents in the county pay taxes for this. We’ve seen what looks like a large layoff going on since last director (Penny) has left. What is going on?

Where is information regarding the parental leave pilot program? How long will this last based on funding? When will this begin? Was this outlined upon the approval of the budget for 2023? Lots of unanswered questions that impact individuals and families. Please aide in providing appropriate resources for this program.

Will City be closed tomorrow for winter storm? County already stated they will be closed and would like to know. Wish both entities would coordinate and issue determinations respectively as the City is in the County.
