Where are you supposed to call or message on mask violations? HFI staffers are within a foot or so of each other talking outside without masks. Also a gas station tonight with kids but I don't know if kids are exempt - teens, but still kids.
How long will the City allow graffiti to be over a pride flag and trans flag on a mural? People's park. You can celebrate black lives matter without saying marginalized LGBT lives don't. Time to think of a different way to honor blm. Bring back rare Midwestern recognition of lgbt people. Please. It's just plastered over like the city doesn't care.
Catalent's new construction is ~ 24/7 this results in near-constant beeping from the backup warning on their equipment. Today, the beeping was going at 6am , it runs to ~ 10 pm; including on Saturday and Sunday. Isn't this in violation of the noise regulations in town?
I have some concern with Macy's leaving the mall and being such a large store. With being next to another huge empty box store (Kmart) and also Campus Costume was in a larger building that closed. Do you know if the mall has plans to put a new tenant in? Bloomington East Side is for whatever reason sometimes said to be economically well, but that's not a guarantee to stay healthy. If the City can monitor these vacancies for both safety and economic reasons, that'd be much appreciated! Thank you!
Since about June/July last year, karate class is happening in my culdesac. At first it was a single student lesson, but then it turned into multiple students and multiple classes a week with parents/cars lining the street. There were 2 classes Sunday, another yesterday evening, and 2 more today. I'm almost positive the guy running classes is from MCMA which closed its dojo doors during the pandemic. We felt like this was okay when it started. One of the kids lives next door and it was one class here and there, but this is kind of getting out of control. I don't want to ruin it for the kids who are getting some activity, but I don't understand why they don't do this in the park. I guess my question is is there any problem with someone teaching karate classes in a public culdesac?
City kicked unhoused out of public park so now they're staying at Kmart off 3rd. Way to shift burden to private lands. Please provide a solution.
As a patient of dental office near Mother Bears Pizza, we are not able to park in their parking lot due to Mother Bear's employees and customers parking in the lot. The office has towed cars off because people don't pay attention to the 'No Parking' or simply they don't care. Come on, be a little bit more respectful to another business. It's their parking lot....word is that they are going to put up a gate!
I am not reporting an issue but just providing general feedback about the business development aspects of Bloomington. The city should work to attract more eco-friendly businesses for personal services, such as a high-quality Aveda salon. Also, I believe that Bloomington would be a better place for adult working professionals if major area employers exceeded Cook Medical and Indiana University. Even amid and after the pandemic recovery, more area businesses should consider offering remote work opportunities to attract more talent to the Bloomington community. Also, Bloomington needs more flexible housing options (month to month rentals) that do not require leasing contracts. Perhaps the city should even consider attracting and implementing more quality and affordable extended stay hotel housing to accommodate professionals and students in transition.
Is there any work being done to get something in the old Marsh on 3rd?
The veritas development looks good. Better than an empty box. Good location for students and families and single people. And looks like still has Bloomingfoods and a park even!
