Two houses from where this scooter was parked in the 700 block of S Eastside Drive, there lives a blind person. She already has made one fall after a collision with a 'parked' scooter. I thought the scooter companies were not going to accept payment until they had proof (a picture?) that the renter had parked the scooter in a responsible manner. So much for that!

This is a Parks issue but potentially a City-wide one. Does the City not have an advertising vetting policy in place? If so, can it please be reviewed? I was very disappointed to see a Lighthouse Christian Academy sign in the City's Twin Lakes facility earlier this month. This institution discriminates not only against LGBTQIA2 students (banning them) but goes even one step further and bans students with LGBTQIA2 parents. The Farmers Market situation is clearly a mess but the City's position has been not to eliminate the white supremacist booth due to it not practicing discrimination in the business sense with customers and the public. This is legally in the right. Lighthouse can pose no such defense. It outright discriminates and the City can and should have a policy that does not allow advertising from entities that discriminate against protected local classes. This is content neutral. Sexual orientation and gender identity for local Code are rightly on an equal plane with race, disability, and other categories. There is little doubt that the City would not be putting up large billboards from a local school that banned students of color for instance or white children with parents of color. This is not a contest but an illustration. A vetting policy needs developed and enforced that exemplifies the very basic values of no active local discrimination of advertisers. The people of Bloomington deserve better than being faced with such billboards in public arenas. Surely a city government is not forced to accept funding from hate groups. P.S. Please undergo a more comprehensive review City-wide of items as they pertain to sexual orientation and gender identity. I'm sure other groups could also benefit from a review (such as people of Asian origin) but sexual orientation and gender identity is one definite one. An HRC report card is a bragging point but does not seem to be seriously used as a tool for improvement. For instance, City Hall has no public gender neutral bathroom for those who may feel uncomfortable using the facilities available. Thanks for your good work, but let's do even better.

Thete appears to be a constant stream of reports of overflowing dumpsters and trash in alleys downtown. What is the problem here, people? Pick-ups too infrequent? The problem needs to be solved in a manner such that the trash doesn't build up like this. A city that touts itself as "green" shouldn't be allowing trash out to blow everywhere. If the dumpsters are the responsibility of the private businesses, the city shouldn't pass the buck. The city needs to put pressure on these businesses until this problem is solved. Overflowing dumpsters should be prevented not just cleaned up afterward.

Lime e-scooters have been dumped, partially in the street near the intersection of Etter Drive and Stephens in the Eastern Heights addition. This have been unused, and are certainly unwanted, and need to be removed from the street, and not placed on anyone's private property. Thank You.

Can you all have your IT folks add a covid-19 option? I'm guessing lots of people are asking about it. Anyways, I was going to suggest some businesses aren't really essential, like ice cream shops (I'm not a fun hater), but everyone hanging out in an ice cream shop parking lot is not exactly health goals for a pandemic. Also, I noticed police officers walking around without masks. Now that that is recommended by CDC are officers and other city staff being provided with such masks and told to wear them?

uReport ID #180633 and #180632 both show they were assigned to Mallory Rickbeil. My understanding is that she quit her job with the City and left town. She is still listed in the City of Bloomington staff directory though. Maybe the City needs to do a little cleanup on the system. Or maybe I am mistaken about her status of employment. Whichever turns out to be true, I just wanted to make sure those rReports got to someone and did not sit in the inbox of a non-existent City employee. Thanks.

The City is not the top place to work. Perhaps your organization once was but not any longer. People are unhappy. They talk constantly about it and then they leave. Worst work culture I have ever experienced. Even if you keep putting out there how great of an employee you are, we know. It stinks of MAGA nonsense to just keep repeating something that is blatantly false.
