The guy lives in this house, keeps working on cars all up and down the street. Taking other people’s places to park on all street parking. It’s difficult once again to get through the onslaught of cars, he has parked up and down the street. I kicked him out of somebody else’s driveway the other day cause he just decided to park the car in their driveway and it’s one of my properties for my property management. I’m responsible for. It’s ridiculous that several people on this block have expressed their concerned about this yet. It’s still going on. now he’s on as the picture shows, the opposite side of the street working on a truck in front of somebody else’s house that’s not even his general parking area. This is getting frustrating and out of hand I’m going to file a complaint against the city with a petition, signed behind it with everybody else’s name on it because this is not getting dealt with correctly. I’ve ran them off in front of my house, blocking my driveway, and I don’t even live within two houses of him. He’s working on vehicles all throughout the day and we can’t even get through the road sometimes due to doors wide open.

W. Dodds St. needs a double-yellow line between S. Rogers and S. College to make it clear that it's a two-way street there. Traffic coming from S. College onto Dodds has been going one-way before the turn, but nothing on Dodds indicates that it's now a two-way street. I was going east on W. Dodds recently when a westbound car was headed toward me on my side of the road. I honked loud and long until they moved over. But it wasn't really their fault since nothing after they turned alerted them to the fact that Dodds had become a two-way street there---no signage, nothing. Thank you.

sewer pipe has pvc pipe drilled right thru it. First thought it was comcast, they investigated and found Hoosier Fiber networks laid the PVC. My sewer line keeps backing up and the camera exposed the issue. I need assistance getting this resolved!

Northeast corner of Washington and Grimes. This tall grass makes it very difficult to see traffic coming south on Washington, pedestrians, cyclists. The grass is 6 or 8 ft tall and very wide. It needs to be trimmed and removed.

I am 62 years old, and this time last year I was just getting back to work after 3 1/2 months rest healing from a broken ankle.
When I moved in to 1200 W 12th St, I noticed the sign (photo #1). I even asked Bloomington Housing Authority about it. They said it would be okay to park in front of my apartment. I have been parking in front of my apartment since March 2024. No tickets, no problems.
It made it very easy to get to my apartment - load or unload my car - and I could keep an eye on it while in my apartment.
Today I get home from work (I work full time at IU as a custodian. Yes - I work FULL TIME and still need Section 8 to get a place to live) to see fresh paint denying me my usual parking spot. I had an ADA tag for a while, but it was temporary. It expired.
The problem is: I can’t see my car now unless I get up and look through the one window that lets me see my car. If I have to park farther away, I won’t be able to see it at all, and I will have to walk farther and across the street to access my car.
I am old, diabetic, autistic and cannot walk a far as I could before the broken ankle. After work, it is very common for my right ankle to be aching on top of the Diabetic Neuropthy I have in both feet in addition to my jangled nerves from interacting with people and handling emergencies.
This neighborhood can get a bit sketchy sometimes - it helped my normally high anxiety level to be able to see my car. My anxiety is already high from people walking so close to my apartment and cutting through my yard - can’t do anything about that so I live with that anxiety.
I don’t want to break the law, but this is so unfair! I already pay $828 a month for this tiny apartment - that is ONE WHOLE PAYCHECK. My rent is figured as 30% of my GROSS income. I pay quite a bit for my taxes and Insurance, and I have quite a few medical issues so I have to scramble sometimes to get bills paid and pay for all the drugs I have to take. I live paycheck to paycheck. I have to work so I have health Insurance. Even though I am 62, I can’t get Social Security if I want to live here because it would price me out of Section 8 and I would have to move (AGAIN - I just moved in here a year and a half ago). I can’t work less because i need Insurance from work until I reach 65 and can get Medicare (if it still exists by then).
If I have to park further away, then my ankle will be that much more achy when I get home. I’m going to see if maybe I can qualify for a permanent ADA Tag, but even then the 4 HOUR LIMIT would kick me in the butt. That doesn’t even take into account bad weather days or having to walk farther with loads.
Where I am currently parked in photo #7 would be a better ADA space. Usually no one parks there, and it is closer to the Boys and Girls Club.
Please help me.

In installing a main fiber line, Trueline/AEG or its partner, removed the asphalt at the edge of the street and cut out a foot wide section of the city's paved drainage ditch. Erosion has occurred and further breakup of asphalt is likely. The area needs to be repaired and patched by someone.
