leaving the City Hall parking lot by the SW ramp to the B-line (just south of the fence), there is a heave of sidewalk on the ramp, demonstrated in the attached pictures. It is significant enough to cause a County Commissioner to fall on Friday and create an avulsion fracture of her finger! (I cannot tell if the photos loaded, so you may have double copies.)
Vehicle #876 has a passenger brake light out.
Pls charge food vendors the same as produce booths. I want to see them back to what once was our thriving Saturday market. Thanks!
The fees for food vendors are too high and are driving vendors away from the market. That also means that the market is less interesting to patrons. The local food vendors are important to those who come. Please lower these fees.
Please do away with the percent fee system for food and beverage vendors at the farmers market. It's not fair for them to have a different rate than the farmers and they bring lots of customers to the market, in addition to adding a large variety of food choices.
On the webpage that describes the features of each City Park, Crestmont Park has nothing listed. As to avoid the appearance of bias against the low-income (ahem!), please fix this. Thank you. https://bloomington.in.gov/parks/parks
Someone has been camping in the woods east of the rail trail behind my house for the past week. They have multiple dogs and have been running a generator.
The Ferguson dog park has two MASSIVE holes in the large dog fenced in area. They get extremely muddy anytime it even drizzles & whether it is dry or wet it is a hazard. I have tripped into one and sprained my ankle because of them. Someone put a ply board plank on one of them but my dog has gotten splinters in his paws because of it, plus I’ve seen dogs chew at it. These holes NEED TO BE FILLED with dirt or gravel. It’s been this way for OVER A YEAR.
I am the President of the Board of Trustees at Unity of Bloomington. Our parking lot is partially owned by us, and partially City property as the B-Line runs behind our building on S. Rogers & Gordon Pk. (We currently maintain the entire parking lot vis-a-vis snow removal etc.) Recent changes, especially in Switchyard Park, have precipitated a migration of unhoused persons south on the B-Line trail. The UoB parking lot has become a stop-over for derelict vehicles and we're experiencing a significant increase in loitering and trash. The Board of Trustees recognizes that this is an important ministry opportunity, and we are engaged in prayerful consideration of reasonable steps forward. In the meantime, we host a nursery school in our facility and safety is an ongoing concern. My current request is this: 1. Could we receive help from the City to secure a larger trash barrel than the small trail-sized container currently in place near our parking lot (and would it be up to us or the City to tend it)? 2. Could the City help by providing a cigarette butt receptacle for our parking lot? (My husband and I collected more than 100 cigarette butts from the Unity parking lot before services last Sunday) 3. Are there any other recommendations or resources the City might provide in a situation such as this? Thank you for any advice and assistance you can provide, Joanie Spain UoB Board President
Hello, there is a tree down across the Bloomington Rail Trail about 100-150 yards south of the 1/2 mile marker (coming from the Country Club tarilhead). Thank you.
