Greetings. In my experience, as well as observations, it does not appear that there is much, if any, enforcement of the Hands-Free Driving state law that went into effect in 2019 in the City of Bloomington. There also doesn't seem to be much accountability to that law as in my experience, the person who rear-ended me told the BPD officer she hit me because she was looking at her phone, but following too close was on the citation and not distracted driving. Why is that? I was told that he didn't want to put more than one reason down. Well, why not distracted driving as that is what she admitted to? Also, there doesn't seem to be any sort of a public safety education campaign in any way... I could imagine that the social media accounts would be a great place for a weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly Public Safety Announcement (PSA) for some friendly reinforcement, reminders, remedial lessons, etc. about the laws that provide structure around driving a couple ton heavy potentially lethal machine around these safe and civil streets. I think Bloomington motorists need a few reminders on some general laws about operating a motor vehicle, especially the hands-free driving state law. Can someone please speak a bit to this concern of mine? Much obliged for your time.

Tenants are parking in the alley that runs behind 1000 and 1002 East Atwater. This makes it difficult for their trash removal truck to get in the alley. As a result trash cans are overflowing and trash is now in the street. In the past vehicles that were parked in the alley were ticketed. Is this no longer happening?
The owner has covered the entire yard and tree plot with gravel. Subsequently, possibly in response to an inquiry by the City, they have planted some shrubs. The gravel is still covering the entire property, but it is now just dotted with shrubs. Please get them to remove the gravel.
Impervious surfaces covering too much of the property! There are terrible problems with run off due to paving, and this property is adding significantly to the problem.
A question for information that can't find on the City website. Probably my lack of skill searching. Who are the current CAPS commissioners? And, specifically, when was Jason Michálek appointed? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for fixing what I reported uReport Case #181345 Thanks fixing this. I was walking with friends this morning (9/13l and one pointed to straw-coveres filled (and seeded, I assume) area and asked when did that get fixed!
