Blocked Street

Privately owned businesses on the north aide of the 100 block of E Kirkwood — a public street —have completely blocked off the entire width of the street, making it completely inaccessible to bicycles. When Kirkwood is closed to car traffic, the public street still needs to be shared space and not dedicated exclusively to private business owners of the Uptown and the Farm restaurants!

Some neighbors on Buttonwood Lane in Spicewood II (a sign is placed on Sare Road) have a coffee, baked goods sale every Sunday in their driveway. This has been going on for over 6 months. Doesn’t the kitchen have to be licensed? A week or 2 seemed ok but this is going on forever. I think a percentage of revenue goes to charity. ??

Not a problem exactly but wanted to voice support to most any reasonable project to renew deteriorating Kmart site. Thank you!

One of the businesses just north of Broadview neighborhood on Rogers street is sounding an alarm like a truck's reverse beep during the city's overnight quiet hours. On Thursday May 20th it can be heard at 3am at nearby residences.

The veritas development looks good. Better than an empty box. Good location for students and families and single people. And looks like still has Bloomingfoods and a park even!

I am not reporting an issue but just providing general feedback about the business development aspects of Bloomington. The city should work to attract more eco-friendly businesses for personal services, such as a high-quality Aveda salon. Also, I believe that Bloomington would be a better place for adult working professionals if major area employers exceeded Cook Medical and Indiana University. Even amid and after the pandemic recovery, more area businesses should consider offering remote work opportunities to attract more talent to the Bloomington community. Also, Bloomington needs more flexible housing options (month to month rentals) that do not require leasing contracts. Perhaps the city should even consider attracting and implementing more quality and affordable extended stay hotel housing to accommodate professionals and students in transition.
Parking on Unimproved Surface

As a patient of dental office near Mother Bears Pizza, we are not able to park in their parking lot due to Mother Bear's employees and customers parking in the lot. The office has towed cars off because people don't pay attention to the 'No Parking' or simply they don't care. Come on, be a little bit more respectful to another business. It's their parking lot....word is that they are going to put up a gate!

City kicked unhoused out of public park so now they're staying at Kmart off 3rd. Way to shift burden to private lands. Please provide a solution.

Since about June/July last year, karate class is happening in my culdesac. At first it was a single student lesson, but then it turned into multiple students and multiple classes a week with parents/cars lining the street. There were 2 classes Sunday, another yesterday evening, and 2 more today. I'm almost positive the guy running classes is from MCMA which closed its dojo doors during the pandemic. We felt like this was okay when it started. One of the kids lives next door and it was one class here and there, but this is kind of getting out of control. I don't want to ruin it for the kids who are getting some activity, but I don't understand why they don't do this in the park. I guess my question is is there any problem with someone teaching karate classes in a public culdesac?
