I am submitting this on behalf of a constituent who called in today. “This is a formal complaint about the NCAA coming to our town. I have concerns of the safety of myself, my family, and other Bloomington residents. The vaccine is not widely available enough to allow this amount of outside people to come to and stay in our town. I am very concerned that Bloomington is going to see a huge spike in COVID numbers after the NCAA”.
Please I'm tired of the street racing in park ridge east late at night. They're at it again. Have called police before. Please put a speed bump in or have cops bust them or something.
Increasing numbers of homeless individuals are sleeping in their cars at the empty Kmart at night. People are now advertising it as a location online. That site needs City attention for redevelopment and monitoring. Eliminate the big box and know it is a great location for smart development close to the new hospital site for lodging, retail, restaurants, green space, and mixed-income housing. By the City not owning up to a solution for the unhoused it apparently is encouraging such individuals to encroach on private lands now. Find a designated park such as Switchyard with parking lots, green space, lights, and security to decriminalize sleeping. And even if not, put some effort into getting a large already commercially designated site back into active use in town. Thank you.
I was alarmed to se 1/2 the adults and 1/2 of the kids not wearing mask this weekend at switchyard park. At the least there should be signs posted to demand mask wearing and or area patrolled to enforce it. Thanks.
Regarding your change of name of Good Friday in the name of diversity. You seem to think diversity is a one way street, favorable only to non-Christians. You are a fool if you think that your name change will do anything more than make you anathema to, possibly, the majority of your constituents. See what you attain by diversity then!
Monday March 22 2021, I seen this City of Bloomington truck in Judah Indiana. Truck # 588. Not sure why it was heading south on highway 37 towards Bedford.
Tons of trash surrounding the block of the shalom center. Lots and lots of cigarette butts over the road and sidewalks around the shalom center. This is an environmental hazard and needs cleaned up. Also a plan to reduce pollution for this area would be beneficial. Trash cans, cigarette butt stations, and holding patrons of shalom center accountable.
I biked downtown this afternoon for a trip to the public library. Upon arrival I discovered that every space in the bike racks surrounding the library were taken by Veo scooters. Attempting to move a scooter to park my bike was extremely difficult, as the scooter wheels immediately locked up, and scooters are simply to heavy to lift and move. Allowing a private scooter company to completely monopolize all available bike parking around the public library is not acceptable. Why is this allowed? Could the rules around scooters in the city be reviewed and this specific issue addressed? To clarify, I don't believe users had parked the scooters here. It seems as if they were deployed and staged in these spots. Thank you.
Why does your city survey ask people how many times they voted in the last month?
Any idea what happened with the development that was going in on the Kmart off third? At one point a developer was holding talks. Would love to see some action there.
