I am not finding where to record my concern of the proposed jail. It should not be in a highly populated residential area that includes an elementary school. There has to be a better location. The one property was rejected due to wrong zoning. I know that zoning can be changed. If it proceeds in this populated area and property values go down, will taxes go down also? There is always a chance of escape, why put a lot of people at risk and being fearful. Thank you, Ruth Holman 1429 W Petal CT.

Re: case #186498 why was this closed as a non response? The statement made was that CBU has special equipment. Isn’t that the case for many departments such a street? However, this expansion has been presented as for the move of administrative staff members. Does the director of CBU operate street sweepers or am I missing something? This seems like a response that is not inclusive. I think the community is well aware that the police force also has special equipment including but not limited to the bear cat vehicle, however it seems the plan is to move police into the central city hall location. Not sure how this plan matches up with the promise to consider all opinions, views, community members, and is certainly not mindful or inclusive of all city departments.

Fall leaves and the tree seed that falls with the leaves can be used to reforest idle land, no mow zones, and natural areas in Bloomington Parks, other city properties and private properties. This idea can help both the city and private home owners to make a positive use of Fall leaves to complete the urban forest canopy. Mixtures of tree seed and leaves spread in layers on land will produce dense stands of native trees. Please forward this idea to Joanna Sparks, Haskell Smith, Gillian Field, Beth Cote. I am willing to meet with them to discuss the details of how to use Fall leaves and tree seed to expand the urban forest in Bloomington. Thank you, Ray Major Forester Trees From Seed on Facebook

I live on Woodstock Place, and several of my neighbors have leaf-blown their leaves into great piles along the street. I'm concerned that the street has been narrowed for traffic and that the leaves will be washed down into the sewers and cause backups. There was a yard sign in the yard nearest High Street about no leaf collection this year, but evidently it has been ignored. Can my neighbors be compelled to mulch or collect their leaves before they turn into a slick mess this winter?

Ticket #184913 was closed but I’ve have seen the same person(s)thoughout town and other areas on the b-line and seminary park with personal possessions and trash thrown everywhere around their shopping carts they have stolen. Having them leave one area to go to another doesn’t solve the problem. I already assume this ticket will get closed and say “we patrol the b-line and surrounding areas on a daily basis, and if they are doing something illegal they will be asked to leave….etc”. That doesn’t solve the problem…doesn’t even put a band aide on it. Unless real change is made (legistration) and the city follows laws already in place it will just continue! Please have police monitor these areas for theft, public intoxication, harassment, littering, etc…

See case #188221. Electric bicycle lying by the street. Which City Department is responsible for removal? How long can it stay there before it can be removed by anyone and sold for scrap?

The mulching "pilot" confuses me. Several people I know participating have always mulched. So how is this a pilot? I'm happy to sign up to say that I mulch, as I do, but getting people who already mulch to say they like mulching and they were part of a pilot just isn't true? Amy I supposed to sign up? Or just folks who want to try mulching instead of bagging leaves for the first time?

The city giving a "prize" for the mulching competition of an opportunity to buy a subscription service to a for profit company that proudly partners with anti LGBT chik fil a is messed up. Rethink your plan.

Fix third and Smith. Don't blame the state. It's your city. Talk to them and get it done. This is ridiculous.

People are acting like the 7 line is done but campus and downtown are only a small section. It's awesome! But we live the east end of town in the Park Ridge area. And it's our understanding the 7 line will go east of campus and connect through us. We are so excited. What is the timeline for this expansion east of campus to make a true east west bikeway? Thank you.
