Hello. I'd like to report that BUGS Gymnastics is advertising a drive by parade this Friday and I find that a bit disturbing given the lockdown situation. I think this falls under non-essential travel and activities and think this even should be shut down to keep people safe and from spreading the virus.
City government needs to help advocate against Duke for more reliable power infrastructure. Multiple times a year, not a one off, we not only lose neighborhood power but do so for hours and hours and hours. We lose hundreds of dollars in groceries each year. Many of our area homes flood as our sumps even with battery backups aren't designed to pump for hours on end on battery. And now, we are losing our salaries and important work as are supposed to be working remotely and can't. Don't simply say it's not a city problem. Help us. Duke refuses to bury lines or take care of dead trees in northeastern part of the city and I'm sure other places. Please use your lobbyist or whoever else to make Bloomington a place where power can be expected, not where privileged neighborhoods get it reliably and the rest of us live in the Middle Ages several days a year. Duke needs to do better for Bloomington.
Please cancel environmentally unnecessary leaf collection and divert funds to much much much needed storm branch debris a few times a year.
There are too many houses owned by too few people that some of us who don't want to be rent slaves can't buy our own places. Please disallow house hoarding.
Open the bathrooms to more than just park employees
Is there a timeline estimated for when traffic calming and enhancements will be made for the bike path Morningside Greenway? I believe it was a priority area on a map the other year. Looking forward to it! (and maybe slowing cars down a bit)
I knew Longview and Pete Ellis were getting some apartments built in that lot, but apparently it is going to be more than usually allowed? I am SUPER concerned that you're going to be packing extra students (almost all will have cars) on a road that is NOT designed for heavy traffic but SUPPOSEDLY a bike path for bikes. It might be great, but what are the extra precautions taking place to ensure students zipping in and out won't disrupt the greenway and kill cyclists? Hoping some will be cyclists, but realistically there is going to be a lot of in and out speedy traffic there for what was a very calm road fantastic for biking. Want to make sure it's not overlooked. Also, anything big built east of College is going to experience major backup on rush hour times at College and 3rd. I know it's a state intersection but the city needs to look into it and factor in the ability of that intersection to take on more traffic. Something needs to change there. It literally clogs (outside of a pandemic) constantly with left turn traffic from 3rd turning south to College, which block eastbound 3rd street. Time and again. Part of the problem is it clogs at the next light (the city's I would imagine) by Fazoli's as the lights aren't coordinated well if at all. So two concerns: not a bad place to live, including for students - way better than century village hotel, but make sure the bike path remains safe! This can't be presumed. That area will change big time and cyclists need reassurance. And 2) light at 3rd and College is going to be negatively impacted and timing or something needs to be looked at there. The east/west greenway I was hoping was going to be getting ENHANCEMENTS in the next year or two, not becoming a motorist highway :( Thank you.
Indiana Executive Order 20-22 article 5 specifically states that Country Clubs are to remain closed. Bloomington Country Club was rather busy today and I feel that they are violating the governor's orders. They too need to help "flatten the curve."
