I want to report officer 303gr for unprofessional conduct. Today (3/10/22), I drove to the Park Mobile parking area near the IU psychology building. I park here most days and never have issues whatsoever. The first time around, I parked my vehicle in a spot that was questionable as to whether it was allowed or not (due to a small portion of my car being in the yellow). I had my passenger get out and ask the parking enforcement officer, who happened to be doing his rounds, if the spot I parked in was okay. He said no because it was near a fire hydrant. Not a problem, I was willing to move. Before my passenger even got back to the car from asking him, he approached me and started asserting that I must move now and that I was illegally parked. I said I knew that because not even 10 seconds ago we asked you if parking here was okay. Then, I moved to a spot across the street and remained in my vehicle with the car running because I was waiting for someone who just got into their car to leave so I could park legally in a place without restrictions. He approached me and said that I had to pay to park here and I explained that I knew that, and would pay as soon as I moved to the spot across the street so I knew what zone I needed to mark on the Park Mobile App. He disregarded what I said, and continued to repeat “you need to pay” over and over again without listening to my reason as to why I hadn’t paid. This entire encounter only lasted about 2 minutes. As I was about to move my car to the spot that had opened up, the officer chose to stand in front of my vehicle, so that I couldn’t move my car, and write me a ticket for parking meter violation. I asked him for his name or badge number and he initially refused. I asked again and learned he was officer 303gr. I have attached a photo to prove that I was in my vehicle at the time of being issued a ticket and to show the officer blocking my car so that I couldn’t drive to a new spot. My Park Mobile account reflects my payment beginning at 9:39 am and the ticket shows it was also issued at 9:39 am. I have no problem paying for a parking ticket if I feel that I did something wrong, but in this case it felt as though the officer was just being rude and the way he conducted himself was very unprofessional. The citation number is 22203101457. Thank you.

the curb cut at the northeast corner of College and 6th street is icy and dangerous. I slipped on the ice and nearly fell. It should be addressed since it's supposed to be accessible.

I have spoken with Public Works and Planning & Transportation previously but i would like to put it out there again since there has been a lot more progress on Union at Crescent. I would like to put in a request that N.Oolitic Dr from the rear exit of Union at Crescent to W.11th St be rebuilt with widening and curb/sidewalk combos to full ROW width. In addition, i still request that the intersection at N.Oolitic and W.11th be turned into a 3-way stop (signs, not lights.) I truly appreciate serious consideration of these matters and I will work with the city in any way I can, within reason, with my adjacent property. Thank you.

A very large tree branch fell and is blocking part of the end of N Oak St, close to where we live at 420 N Oak.

Constituents in Fritz Terrace and the neighborhood north of Kroger have expressed concern that traffic is moving too fast (and seems to be getting worse) along Kinzer and Skyline Drive. Not sure if there's anything that can be done from the City's perspective, but I wanted to pass this along. Thank you!

The Bloomington traffic database reports 5 multivehicle accidents at North and Henderson in 2018 and 2019, all of them shortly before the 8AM start of class or after the 3PM end of class at BHSS. None were reported for 2020 when BHSS was online for most of the year. NO accidents are reported on the neighboring intersections of Henderson and E Miller, or Henderson and E South Rd, both of which have stop signs. To anyone who drives there, this is a much more dangerous intersection than the majority of intersections where 4-way stop signs have been installed. Indeed when one first uses the intersection one expects 4-way stop signs based on the usual Bloomington pattern for roads with prominent crosswalks, which makes the absence even more dangerous. Please fix this before my daughters start driving to high school next year. I'd prefer they walk but that intersection is even more dangerous for pedestrians.

A large tree fell covering the path going up the hill just south of the newly constucted waterfall wooden path. It needs chainsawed to clear path.

A short stretch of North Woodlawn Avenue is very uneven and bumpy between East 11th Street and East 10th Street. Cars often drive in the bike lanes to avoid the bumpy center of the road.

The crosswalk between N and S Woodbridge Dr and across 10th is routinely ignored by passing cars. I have almost been hit around 3 times while in the crosswalk by cars that refused to stop for me as I was crossing. Cars otherwise refuse to stop when pedestrians are waiting to cross. This is a safety concern for pedestrians.
