What's the deal with the city taking down two trees at this address? You have been working a couple hours on ONE tree since LAST week. You have more guys standing around than working! They show up at 7 AM with three or four vehicles stand around awhile, work for and hour or so then leave! This protracted pace is interfering with other work being done in the neighborhood. A professional service (Fowler) would have had both trees down and cleaned up in ONE DAY! What gives Bloomington? Time to start hiring out this work and end this seemingly wasteful government service? Thanks, Roger

Why don't all bad sidewalks or poor people at least get to use the city sidewalk fund? I'm not sure how it works but doesn't seem many people get access. And the zones they talk about are years old. Pretty sure there was a recent study that has new zones. Parts of the east side have horribly deteriorated sidewalk infrastructure and is already too reliant on cars; they should be eligible too. Please talk to whoever does poor areas of town to confirm areas of eligibilty. This should be citwide.

I was a bit disappointed with the dangerous traffic situation I had to navigate on Monday morning due to the City of Bloomington's careless job site. Grimes is being resurfaced it looks like. I was heading north on Dunn and came to the intersection with Grimes. There was no sign to indicate the road was closed. I could not go straight on Dunn across Grimes because a City dump truck and other vehicles had the road entirely blocked. I could not see traffic to the west on Grimes because a City street sweeper was parked right at the intersection blocking the view (and there was another piece of equipment behind it). I could just barely see the intersection at Grimes & Henderson to try to guess if traffic was coming from my east. The City had a big machine parked just east of Dunn on Grimes that had a dump truck backed up to it for tearing up the road surface. I made a decision to go for it, and turned out onto the wrong lane of traffic to go around the construction. There were 5 city employees in bright colors standing on the sidewalk chatting, just watching this traffic hazard. Other people were driving through trying to navigate the broken up road and the blocked streets, intersections, and egress without any assistance from the City employees on the job. This is dangerous. Just close the road! Or put some people in charge of directing traffic so we know when it is safe to proceed and not risk hitting another citizen or getting run over by the various machinery moving about. This was pretty ridiculous even by Bloomington standards (which, are actually quite low it turns out!).

The issues the NPR officers at Lake Monroe I watched a horrifying hideous video of a black man pin to a tree by several white men, shouting racist slurs these men need to be arrested and should have been arrested at that moment when they were assaulting that man I will be writing to authorities over the NPR officers but I needed your department to see that this is a very very bad thing and those officers need to be removed from duty until further investigation, The men and women involved need to be arrested immediately for assault what were your officers thinking he was being assaulted and held against his will you guys have a huge problem this is not going to go away and you cannot sweep it under the rug everything has to change! If this is not your department please forward it to the department that it belongs and I thank you for your time

Fire the Police who did not arrest the men holding a man captive in the park. Clearly the man held against the tree had his civil rights violated but we all know this was really about hate and racism. Not a proud moment for Bloomington.

Please consider helping to find or fund a facility to ensure the free COVID site remains open and available. Folks are currently 10 days out in testing there, and 10 days of self-isolation honestly is unlikely to happen with many folks who have yet to get a confirmed diagnosis. Thank you for your leadership. I've heard of many individuals in town getting sick but not getting tested, and I'm worried the numbers are higher than reported.

HAZARD (I hope you can see the whole picture, not just grass): this is case #172549, the hole in the Hunter foot path, which has been referred to CBU. It has gotten considerably worse and is very dangerous at night. When there is no light, a cyclist might fly over the handle bar or a pedestrian might break an ankle or leg. This needs to be seen to asap.
