Hey there, Do you want some help removing this bad review from Jenni E on Frank Southern Center/Ice Arena’s Yelp Page? By reading this review I can tell that this isn’t your fault. The reason I’m reaching out is because my company, ReviewVio, can help remove this review and others permanently from your Yelp Business page. Here’s the review I mentioned: My family went to go ice skating here. The ice was really rough; and hard for amateur skaters; and most of us were first-time ice skaters. When they want you to get off the ice; they blare the loudest horn. It's the hockey goal horn; but it is completely unexpected. It startled the crap out of us; and two of us fell down; and our youngest sister fell forward and dislocated her knee; so the last thing we did in the night was help her out of the facility. How about; I don't know; turning off the music when you want people to leave? Or just telling us! Or anything that doesn't scare people and cause injuries. It was a shitty way to end the night; and if you want people to get off the ice do so without risking a lawsuit. Will probably not ice skate again; anywhere.

Charles A. Northrop, Assistant Director of Real Estate Administration, Real Estate Department, Office of the Vice President for Capital Planning and Facilities, Indiana University, advised me on 4/13/21 to contact the City of Bloomington Public Works Department to confirm the ownership of the unmaintained embankment bordering 719 E. Hunter Ave. and the space that had been the backyard of the demolished house at 720 E. Atwater Ave. While he has stated that this part of the embankment is an unpaved public right-of-way alley, he also suggested that its ownership might require confirmation. Such confirmation would enable me to determine the validity of the trespassing allegations of 719 E. Hunter Ave. tenants on 3/19/21 that resulted in the dispatch of Bloomington Police Department officers to the site.

Trash

1615 S Walnut ST

Case Date:
11/7/2017

I work at Wininger Construction at 1605 S Walnut. Neighbor two houses south has lots of trash in back, including stolen shopping carts. Also, due to the amount of foot traffic into that home, I suspect potential drug activity. You may use the Wininger parking lot in back, to view the trash at that house. (Enter our parking lot from Southern Drive. Our office driveway on Walnut is very steep). We reported this house a year or so ago, and I think these are different tenants, but the trash is piling up again. Not a good first impression on folks patronizing our business, and appears to be a health hazard for the neighborhood. Thank you for your consideration.

i recently saw something terrible & now everytime i walk past there, it bothers me. at 2600 west 3rd street, on a small vacant office building, in big bold red plastic letters there's advertising affixed to 3 sides of the building "INJURED ? CALL KEN AT 1-800-CALLKEN" and to make it even worse it lights up at night! making it look even more tawdry & garish. even if he owns that vacant building there's a city code under "peace&safety" that states that ads cannot be affixed to buildings. please have him remove this ugly situation as soon as possible. he can be contacted at his huge building at the end of franklin street. thanks

Potholes, Other Street Repair

Hidden Meadow

Case Date:
11/18/2017

We moved into a new house in Hidden Meadow in May of this year, and after 6 months we still do not have a street sign. Our address is 5274 N Filbert Drive, Bloomington, 47404, our street name is N Filbert Dr. This is a safety and liability concern, if emergency vehicles – fire, ambulance, or police had to find one of the houses on our street, they would be unable to, especially since our street still doesn’t show up on Google maps. The thought of something bad happening to a member my family or to me and knowing that help might not find us is very unsettling. We’ve waited for 6 months and still no sign. I'm not sure who to contact, and whether it is the city, the planning department, or the developer who is responsible for street signs, but I'm hoping you can help me figure out who I can contact - if it isn't your office. Thanks! Laura Wisley Cell (812)360-3842

Inaccessible Parking

Case Date:
11/29/2017

Hello, I'm a part-time employee (SPEA fellow) at the City, in the Dept. of Planning & Transportation, and I have a few concerns about the part-time parking spots at Showers. First, is the part-time spots are incredibly far away from the main entrance to City Hall, adjacent to the Showers Red lot (in fact, as far away as you can possibly get while still staying in the Showers parking lot). Now, this isn't a problem for an able-bodied person like myself, but I had a friend who worked as an intern for the Controller's office this summer who has knee problems, making this walk excruciating for him. So bad was it that he usually parked at a meter, for an entire four hour shift, which meant that he essentially had to pay $4 to come to work everyday. My other issue with the part-time parking spaces is the incredible lack of them: there are only 5. Very rarely are less than 5 part-time workers working at one time, so it's really a crap shoot when I come to work (MWF) as to whether I can actually find a space. Many times I've also had to park at a meter. And today (11/29) the PT employee parking signs that designate which spaces are available to PT employees were removed, so some employees at the business end of Showers were parked in what should be PT spots, so there were even less spaces available than usual. I understand wanting to encourage walking/biking and public transit, but this isn't feasible for everyone, because rent is astronomical near Showers, especially to PT workers who don't get paid very much. I live pretty far out, so walking/biking is pretty much impossible, and public transit is highly inconvenient. I just wish the City was a little more inclusive of its part-time workers (especially those with disabilities), and the fact that only 5 parking spaces are available to us (a 5 minute walk from the entrance to City Hall, no doubt) is really disappointing and, in fact, a little insulting. I hope, in the renovation of parking happening in the FT section of the lot, that the City will consider adding some more PT spaces.

Traffic Suggestions

4098 East 10th Street

Case Date:
1/10/2018

I was traveling east on 10th St. and got into the right-hand turn lane (with turn signal on) to turn right/south on Smith Road. As I turned right, a car facing north on Smith Road turned left to head west on 10th St. and did not see an oncoming car and the eastbound car on 10th street had to brake quickly to avoid an accident...stopping within a few feet of the turning car. With the new traffic light at the Post Office intersection on 10th st, GPS is routing more people east/west on 10th street to/from Smith Rd and more locals are also using this route. This is turning an already dangerous intersection more dangerous. Turning left off smith onto 10th street requires timing to avoid a car coming east around the curve on east 10th street...and the same for turning left onto Smith off 10th street. Please consider a stop light at this intersection. Thank You.
