I believe there is a problem with distracted driving in Bloomington despite there being a state law about hands-free driving for a few years now. Please inform me what BPD is doing to directly address this danger to the public safety of this city. Thank you. Marnina Patrick
Followup to case# 181838 (I believe there is a problem with distracted driving in Bloomington despite there being a state law about hands-free driving for a few years now. Please inform me what BPD is doing to directly address this danger to the public safety of this city. Thank you. Marnina Patrick) I took Captain Pedigo up on the suggestion to contact the ISP and am now sharing the replies I go: "Thank you for taking the time to send us a note of concern for drivers utilizing celllular devices while driving. We have listed the statue below for your review and will forward you concern to the commander of the bloomington district. If you see a violation, please don’t hesitate to report the driver to your local police/sheriff's office or the closest ISP post." "The bloomington police department is still responsible for traffic infractions even if they have staff shortages. Police departments throughout the nation are experiencing staffing shortages however still continue to serve the public."
I live directly next to the Landscaping Services Building roughly by 10th Street & Jefferson. The level of noise they make at 4:30-5:30AM is unacceptable. I implore the city to please contact Landscaping Services (affiliated with IU-Bloomington) to push their hours back to 7-8AM. It is a total disturbance to my neighbors and me. Banging metal, trucks beeping as they back up, loud engines, car lights that shine into our homes & other community disturbances. I expect a response from the city on this major quality of life issue. Thank you so much for your time. I enjoy living here in Bloomington in every other regard besides this matter. Thank you!
A boat has been parked on 9th Street between Washington and Walnut (closer to Walnut) for the past few weeks, and they have not seen it moved the whole time its been parked there.
All the scooters in the city I consider to be abandoned on a minute by minute basis blocking handicapped ramps; rail trails; store fronts etc
Landscaping Building making loud noises at 5AM-6AM on Saturday & Sunday. This violates local noise ordinances & I expect it to be quiet until at least 8AM on the weekends.
Open Container Law Not Enforced Downtown or at Seminary Park
re: case #169222. Gov Holcomb signed HB 1236 into law, requiring motorists to provide 3 feet of clearance when passing cyclists. It seems as if there possibly was a violation here with the Crider and Crider truck passing too closely. It would be great if the police were aware of and can begin enforcing this law. Thanks.
A significant portion of people traveling north or south on High St do not come close to a complete stop at E. Arden Dr.. Some blow it off, some seem surprised or forgot the stop is there and the rest are making the case for changing the name from "California stop" to "Hoosier stop". This stop may be technically outside of the school zone but kids do walk/ride to school along that stretch of road.
I Just hope one day god decends down on this mayor and tears him into a thound pieces, spreading his faul blood over all that voted for him. You people are the worst the world has ever seen. By god how dare you side with terrorist criminal scum. Fuck you people!
