I was traveling to the south side of Bloomington today. Many, many intersections are devoid of street signs. I would think signs would be a constant maintenance priority. I don’t remember the problem in my hundreds of visits to Bloomington and IU. Thanks.
On Saturday, May 29, 2021, this City-owned site was producing a lot of loud construction noises after 10:30pm. The noises included audible beeping from trucks or equipment backing up and loud banging noises, possibly the sound of either dump truck tailgates slamming on the bed of the trucks or some sort of excavator hitting the ground repeatedly. City ordinances only allow construction noises up to 10pm. Can the City be a better neighbor and not produce these loud, annoying noises at such late hours of the day?
If the City can host an event for Juneteenth, which is fantastic, it can host an event for Pride. Trans lives in particular are under attack right now. Let's celebrate the unique queer life Bloomington possesses. Thank you for considering. We can do more. Maybe even just an award for either LGBT activism and/or community contribution from a LGBT resident that can be part of a volunteer awards night or something that I believe Lucy Scaich hosts? Starting small is fine. But Bloomington Pride is not representative of everyone so it would be great for local government to be a player too.
Want to actually promote affordable housing? Utilize the stock we have. Instantly create beds by eliminating artificial 3 person cap on houses that can easily and safely house more. Concerned about issues, solve them. Limit parking permits per house, enforce noise, enforce trash. But we have empty bedrooms that could easily have two people per bedroom in many instances. For no good reason. Go bold. A simple policy change will do more than your construction efforts have the last few years. Let's do this.
Lots of poison ivy on tree in tree plot at 115 e 8th street.
I live in batchelor heights neighborhood right next to the new road construction near the new library. The trucks have started working on the road before 6am. The noise is pretty loud and it’s been waking our kids and us up. It’s so loud that not even sound machines will cover the noise. I understand stating work early is convenient for the city but everyone in the neighborhood has been complaining on how early construction starts and it’s VERY loud! I am very disappointed in the lack of planning and consideration for the residents of the neighboring community.
Would like information on when the city clinic is going to have a plan put in place to open? As an “employer of choice,” interested to see these ‘benefits’ go into action. Is remote work still being embraced to recruit and retain more employees? Is the paid leave policy going to be retained for more than a single year ‘trial’ basis? Many would like info on how this budget is actually working for the people
When is the city going to match the County for work hours/hours worked? Closing at 4pm makes public meetings available to start earlier in the evening, reduces traffic stress on roads as a major employer (remote work accomplishes this too), and creates less confusion on need of City versus County services and what hours they can be reached.
City vehicle 512 is parked in violation of the Woodhaven Estates HOA covenants and restrictions. It sits parked in the front yard of this home. Parking is not allowed on the grass in our neighborhood.
