Part 2 of my complaint (I thought I'd have more room to give details.)
(1) Bloomington Transit bus driver Randy turned the corner into the Transit Center so fast I fell from the side seat to the floor and my bags fell from the seat too. I landed on my feet. Randy didn't say anything. When I was exiting, I said, "I fell - I could have gotten hurt!" and HE SAID NOTHING. Not an apology - NOTHING. He obviously didn't care. This happened months ago and was reported to Eli McCormick, Customer Service Manager, when it happened.
(2) Since then Randy has made ridiculous complaints to me when I get on the bus - all these have been reported to Eli M and I've asked him to preserve the videos from those incidents.
(3) Randy is getting more and more dangerous, and now swerves right at me in front of the main library on Kirkwood when he sees me there. He drives too fast and heads RIGHT AT ME! No other driver in town is doing this, nor has done this, in the 3 1/2 years I've lived here. I've seen him stop in the street and not even swerve right into the stopping lane when he doesn't see me and other passengers are waiting there.
On January 31st, he drove at me fast and Eli said, "We've reviewed that video... you were on the curb, and we don't feel that's a problem." Eli said another manager analyzed him before that, and said he was going 18 miles an hour on approach. Other drivers have told me 10-15 mph is reasonable.
On February 5 he aimed right for me and when I didn't move he wailed on the horn. When I got on, he said, "You're not supposed to stand in the street!" I said, "I wasn't in the street - I was in the parking lane - and YOU'RE not supposed to aim for people who are STANDING STILL!" I've told Eli to preserve this video and I have to request it at the City Legal Department. I filed Police Report #B1905058 with Officer Crider, Badge #1369 that night.
Randy is dangerous, vindictive, childish, and a LIABILITY for Bloomington Transit and this city! I don't see why Eli M and that company don't understand that.

Bloomington Transit bus driver Randy is harassing me by driving his bus right at me too fast, and making ridiculous complaints when I get on the bus - all in retaliation for legitimate complaints I've had to file about him.
Temporary Signage w/o permit

IU "Trident" logo has been incorporated into the roof design of 817 N. Washington, a rental house managed by "Cream and Crimson" properties (a small local company that is not affiliated with the University.) Is this a violation of any City signage ordinances (size, placement, trademark infringement, etc.)? It is unsightly.

When will curbs be updated in Park Ridge East? Inadequate in many areas and allows water to overflow along sides, corners, and otherwise not drain properly. Please even if few years out have a plan for this. Thank you! Wanted to make sure it was on the radar, even if long distance.

Please start having homeowners have to fix sidewalks. It's part of owning property. And that obligation has been neglected in many older areas. City needs to notify and provide guidance. Thank you.

Case #167236 has not been resolved.
1718 Circle Drive: a green tarp and a bunch of sticks and branches have been sitting in the yard for weeks now. Maybe the empty trash cans are still there too. Do we have to wait until yard waste collection resumes in April before that yard waste is removed? It should be bundled and put aside the house, and the green tarp folded and put out of sight. Thank you.

Can the bus slow down a bit on Morningside Drive please? Scared a kid will get hit. I appreciate the speedy service and option in the neighborhood, but also value our pets and kids not expecting a big bus to zip by. Thank you!
