Hi, I am trying to find the appropriate department to ask about air quality regulations in Bloomington. Specifically I am doing feasibility research for opening a coffee roasting company in Bloomington and I need to know what regulations exist within the city and what remediation may be involved. Thanks Dan Mikesell

I was hoping you could contact me via phone number contact concerning 7th Street green way bike route. Thanks
Our neighbor at 8067 S Zikes Rd has had a pile of trash built up for years. We have complained before and it was taken care of, however, the past three tenants have just piled up more trash and other debris outside the garage close to our fence line and at one point against our fence. The owner of the property, last name Vanlandingham, has done NOTHING to clean up the property, he just continues to move people in, who then just add to the mess. We have had to keep our house sprayed outside to keep any rodents and bugs away and it is very expensive. We also have dogs and children and we don't allow then to be near that area of our own yard because we have no idea what is in the pile of trash.
The road is crumbling and developing significant pot holes. Please let me know when this is scheduled for resurfacing. Thank you
This light is very impractical. Traffic is non-stop on 3rd street and for this light to be on a timer does not make sense for traffic of the environment. I get stopped at it morning and afternoon with barely ever any cars waiting at the intersection. 3rd /Woodcrest / Hillsdale
Intersection of Fess and E First: one of those water access points (round small metal cover) where the pavement around it is completely gone.
In response to uReport case# 178546, thank you for the information as well as the contact information for IU in the case of future questions. It is good to learn that IU has made some solid changes in the ten years since the issue was thrust onto them by student activists. Reducing the use of coal-powered electricity to less than 15% and intermittent use is positive, but I think that that number should really be zero in this year of 2022. I hope that they are still encouraged by the city to completely eliminate coal and supplement their power with sustainable sources such as solar. There has been little action to address the climate crisis by the Indiana General Assembly, and Indiana has a very poor reputation on air quality as one of the worst states in the U.S. for carbon pollution. The latest United Nations climate report states that the climate crisis has reached code red for humanity. Therefore, in 2022 it is hard to swallow that there is still a coal burning power plant in the middle of a dense city on the grounds of an institution of higher education surrounded by throngs of young people with brains that are still developing. We should not be okay with anything other than zero percent. I am not sure what else the railroad line in Bloomington is used for but I know it carries coal. Perhaps, if that need went away and the rail line ever became unused, then it could be converted into a trail that all of the community could use for non-fossil fuel burning purposes. The City of Chicago did that about ten years ago with a dormant elevated rail line and it was transformative for those neighborhoods. Lastly, I leave you all with a line from the Great Law of the Haudenosaunee, the founding document of the Iroquois Confederacy, the oldest living participatory democracy on Earth. "In every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations." I do not seek a reply. Thank you for your time.
