To city council: we just read through some of the very biased comments and concerns on how you believe budget and goals should be approached ahead of this budget session. Why on earth would a composting program and spending money in the short term for very specific studies help our town now? All of us citizens want this place to flourish long-term as well, but we will not survive and make it to the long term if you don’t adjust your priorities for your constituents instead of your personal gain. Pay an actual LIVING wage to employees, not just department leaders - this is egregious in many areas of this town including city. Look beyond just BFD & BPD for providing incentives. Look around, city hall cannot even staff a front desk but you expect the city to run in all other areas when employees and citizens can barely keep afloat? Very tone deaf this year by way of what seems to be selfishness. Many of us are very disappointed in this misalignment of administration and council.
Lamp post 134 on B-Line Trail appears to be out. This is a high-priority public safety issue as there have been assaults on this part of the trail recently.
Last week on Saturday I submitted information about something happening at RCA Park shelter house. It was a large party with probably more than 200 people. There was underage drinking. This also happened last Thursday with about half the people. Again underage drinking. The police might want to investigate this party in relation to the crash in Riley.
What is the TIMELINE for paving Lindbergh St between W17th and W 11th? I would like to share your short answer tonight as I preside over the Crescent Bend Neighborhood Association meeting. Also, I would appreciate update on speed reduction plan for W 17th St, which we submitted to UReport last month.--Thanks for information! Sharon Roualet, President CBNA
Homeless person sleeping at the west end of parking lot my entrance to pool. We then walked north and took the walking trail through the center of park.. heading west. It looked like a small encampment of tents on right side of trail by creek. Wanted to let you know
# 180789. It has been 1 month and nothing has changed. Except that school is back in session, and the BHSN boys and girls cross country teams try to run in our neighborhood. But it is very difficult, since tree limbs and bushes are growing over the sidewalk. We live in a.nice neighborhood and this is ridiculous. I will give it 1 more week before I get my chain saw and take care of it myself. Then I will send the city of Bloomington a Hefty bill.
Heading south up the hill on N. Blue Ridge Dr. and planning to turn left onto E. Blue Ridge Dr. I cannot see traffic coming from Clover onto N. Blue Ridge. Clearing the right of way would be a big help.
Why do City vehicles park in the bike lane instead of the street? Many times while riding my bike on 7th street this year, I have had to ride around City vehicles parked in and blocking the 7Line because the driver was watering trees or something. Firstly, it's much easier for a car to drive around a truck than for a cyclist going up a steep hill and more vulnerable than drivers to have to ride into oncoming traffic or try to squeeze around an enormous truck. Secondly, this sends the signal that the City prioritizes drivers over cyclists. I should hope that's not actually the case, but it feels like it. Why not park in the car lane? Either side would be by the trees that are in the median between the 7Line and the car lanes, and it wouldn't impact the safety of the City workers. But it does impact the safety of people on bikes, who are already at more risk of injury from crashes.
The sidewalk in front of the Seminary Square Outlet Sign on 2nd street is cracked and a deep hole in middle of side walk. This hole is big enough a small child could fall down into.
