I understand State intersections but please work with State to provide better intersection support at N. Smith and 10th and N. Smith and 3rd. Both are confusing/dangerous at present as people whip around others out of line when impatient on left turners, since there is no left turn lane, etc. Vision gets obstructed and otherwise is a safety concern.
Power in Park Ridge East is frequently out. Neighbors and the Association have flagged this unsuccessfully as an issue with Duke. Outages often take time for restoration beyond what would be expected. Basic power in neighborhoods should be a staple of good governance. I understand both the State and Duke are primary contacts for this, but can municipal governance please help flag this to Duke as a concern. Our household lost power yesterday and then again today (still out). Power reliability here has been less than anywhere I have lived, including internationally. Sentiment is similar among many other residents. As a sample from another resident's posted concerns yesterday: "I thought Duke did a lousy job of tree trimming this yea, and I'm beginning to think that was a correct observation. AC power in Park Ridge East is the least reliable of any place I've lived in the US and compares unfavorably to Ankara, Turkey, where I lived in the 1960s." Another poster from yesterday: "Agreed, power outages in PRE are a regular occurrence." I also had to contact Duke to correct dangerous power fluctuations in their line this year near my home, which was corrected after being flagged as a major fire hazard by my electronic monitoring company. Your advocacy for improvements would be appreciated and expected. Thank you.

Does Eli McCormick still work for the City? It seems like if a uReport gets routed to Eli McCormick, it is lost. I had an issue previously with the City not updating its directory after an employee quit and Ureports were being assigned to that person and no one seemed to realize it. Case #181740 has not been touched in 14 days after being assigned to Eli. Case #181758 is at 9 days. Case #181718 is at 13 days. Case #181222 is approaching 2 months. Just checking in. . . There is a problem with a lot of trash around a bus stop and someone living in the bus stop basically, and nothing has been done about it for 2+ weeks now. Maybe Eli is working towards a resolution, or maybe Eli is no longer in town! Who knows. Thanks for checking.
I parked in the 7th street garage on 18 October, 2022 from 5:50 pm until approximately 9:00 pm. I placed my charge ticket in the machine and it said 1.75 charge for which I inserted my Discover card. It said to hit the receipt button, but according to a gentleman I spoke with at (812) 369-3622, I must have hit the "cancel" button. Thinking I had a paper card to place in the machine to open the gate, I took it to the gate and entered it into the machine. It then said I owed $3.00 and initially it refused my discover card and a VISA card, but eventually took a Mastercard charging me $3.00. I then got the gate to open. So for this parking experience, I paid $4.75 for just over three hours of parking. The gentlemen said to go to dailyr@bloomington.in.gov and they could help me. I would like a refund of my $3.00 please. Thanks, Jim Faris
First off, I want to say thanks for the stop sign that was recently installed on 7th St at the B-Line trail crossing. This is much appreciated but I have a suggestion for a small change to help improve safety even further. I walk that intersection multiple times a day and see cars that seem to think it is a 4-way stop. If a car stops (and TBH most do not stop) I have seen multiple cases where the car thinks they then have the right away and proceed in front of crossing bikes and pedestrians. My suggestion is to add signage that says "cross traffic does not stop" or similar which is very common for other 2 way stops around the city. That would just be one more sign to the drivers that the trail traffic has the right away and is not required to stop. Thanks!
