Hi Folks...a buck with a wounded (broken?) back right leg in the Winslow Farm area of Bloomington. He can hop with a little pressure on it. Not sure if anything can be done, just feel sorry for the fella. Thank you.
The metered street parking in front of the Graduate Hotel on Lincoln Avenue is very confusing. There are meters at these spots, implying that these are public parking spots. However, the Graduate Hotel has put signs indicating these spots are reserved for their valet service. Which one is it? If these are truly public spots, please inform the Gradate Hotel. Today after parking in one of these spots, and depositing money in the meter, one of their staff members indicated that I could not park there.

Hello, I'm writing about the published GeoJSON file of the zoning boundary, available here: https://data.bloomington.in.gov/dataset/bloomington-zoning-districts-gis-data A screenshot of it is included. The GIS data appears rather incomplete. I expect it to contain all the zoning boundaries shown in the Zoning PDF file found here:https://data.bloomington.in.gov/dataset/zoning-maps/resource/e04be74a-7c8d-4ed0-9373-91bcd6e1cec5 Both files list their author and maintainer as Laura Haley <haleyl@bloomington.in.gov>. My goal is get a current version if the zoning boundaries in GeoJSON format. Thanks!
Could you please send street sweepers down both sides of the 400 block of Faculty (between Hunter and Atwater). Lots of tree debris in the street. Thank you.
Lots of trash around illegal homeless encampment under bridge at grimes and Morton and surrounding areas. Ps…Littering is a crime, please enforce laws!
Large semi (red cab) towing longer than usual flatbed failed to make turn from Rogers to high and hit the street light, which almost fell over, now severely damaged, and possibly hazardous. Happened at 4 pm today July 13. Presumably there to collect construction equipment on high st.
This photo goes with ticket 176560. Also I see in my report that your cyber brain has changed Rogers and 9th street to Rogers and 10th. Technically there is no intersection at 9th, but that is the location of this problem.
On May 23, 2021, at 5:30 am I was driving south on N Rogers to deliver my brother to Bloomington Hospital for surgery. At about 9th street (at the B line trail) I ran directly into a curb that juts out into the road. It was dark out and raining, and this road obstruction was poorly lit and not marked with a reflector ot in any other way. I ruined an almost new tire and will surely need an alignment. We walked the rest of the way to the hospital, in the dark and rain, because we couldn’t get a cab and time was short. Going back in the daylight I see that the southbound lane makes a jog to the center to accommodate this jutting out curb. Going south the right most lane becomes a parking lane, but there were no cars at all parked there so this was not apparent when approaching from the north. In the daylight this configuration is easy to see, but not in the dark and rain. I’ve enclosed a photo taken from in front of Carpenter Realty showing how dramatically this curb juts out into the road. I have other photos that I will try to send separately. (I think this report is limited to one photo. ) Two of my photos show show that the jutting out curb is blackened from tires and scared from wheel rims that preceded me into this trap. If I had a tire store I would open a branch in the big parking lot just south of Carpenter and stay open through the night. Besides reconfiguring this lane transition there are several easy solutions: - Light this curb better. - Put a reflector on it. - use a “ramp” or “transition” curb, as we see at all the new roundabouts.
