Not sure how to lodge opposition but heard Curry is wanting to build self-storage at 4600 Morningside. Total waste of a valuable piece of property on a Greenway. That East/West Greenway should be places people want to bike and walk to, not a wasteful self storage area that will be all vehicular traffic. Not to mention it's in a residential neighborhood and there is not a traffic light there and it will be THREE stories of nothing but storage? We can do better, Bloomington. If the City can reject for any reason please do so.

Hello. If there is a better way to provide input please let the neighborhood know but we learned that self storage is going into Park Ridge East on Morningside. The industry is low-income predatory and operates on a model that intends for low engagement. This is the opposite for what should be at the intersection of a Greenway (Longview) and a major road (3rd). Surely there are more industrial locations for the city suited for such a business. It is not true commerce (which would be awesome in that area) but is "set it and forget it" investing. Ugly, wasteful, and most importantly the wrong choice for the location. Definitely build something, but something that people will regularly access and use.

The 3rd street bicycle lane adjacent to the IU campus has been massively improved with the newly installed barriers! This section of the commute takes me 3 fewer minutes to bicycle on now that drivers don't block the bicycle lane. Biking in this lane feels so much safer and more comfortable with the barriers up, especially since considering drivers tend to go pretty fast on this road. Also, the barriers don't look like an eyesore at all, which is something I previously read that IU officials were concerned about. The barriers blend into the background enough to not be garish, but they are still clearly visible to drivers and cyclists. Honestly they're pretty stylish for bicycle lane barriers. As a bicycle commuter, even small-scale projects like this make me feel cared about by the city. It makes me glad to be a Bloomingtonian! Laissez le B-Town rouler!

2 For Sale by 'Jabberwocky' signs in the ROW right across from 702 and 704 E First Street. The house for sale is 721 Fess Street. So there are 2 signs on E First, plus one on Fess. Not sure if that sign on Fess is also ROW.

Concerned with east side development being neglected. Lots of housing but collapse of business and retail. Next up no taco bell or kfc. Joellas closed. And we're getting junk storage and car washes. Please put attention into ensuring east side doesn't turn into a low utility housing suburb. Pay attention and actively plan.
