Illegal business in residetial neighborhood. The residence of 3954 Fenbrook Ln. have been running a retail business out their home fot several months. We have counted as many as 40 cars a day. The average is 15-20 a day. We have several familoes with small children and all this traffic makes it unsafe for them and near impossible to drive down the street. Please enforce the ordinance.
Illegal business at 3954 Fenbrook Ln, Bloomington, IN, 47401. This is the second notice on uReport. Today, at 11:am, February 13, 2024, we counted 12 cars driving in and out from this house. As stated in the first complaint, we are experiencing up to 40 cars a day at peak times in our neighborhood due to this large illegal retail business. The average is 20 cars a day, that is 100 cars a week and nearly 400 cars a month on average. We have several families with children and a public school bus stop near this home. As you can see, the roads are narrow, and this is a dangerous situation in our neighborhood. Please enforce the law and close this business for good. In my opinion, this is damaging our property values.
The SUNOCO station on South Walnut is lit up like the sun at night, with lights that point out and across their property — towards neighbors, the park, and even towards drivers going south on Walnut. Could the lights at least be angled down into their property?
Lack of full attendance of the members of the Board of Zoning Appeals over at least the last three months is seriously hampering the capacity of the City to handle land use matters in an efficient and timely manner. The Board of Zoning Appeals has cancelled its regular meeting for July 25, 2024 for a lack of quorum. While the BZA did technically have a quorum in May and June, there were fewer than all 5 members present for the entirety of either of these meetings. City council and the mayor need to appoint BZA members who are taking this responsibility seriously without repeated absences.

Hello. If there is a better way to provide input please let the neighborhood know but we learned that self storage is going into Park Ridge East on Morningside. The industry is low-income predatory and operates on a model that intends for low engagement. This is the opposite for what should be at the intersection of a Greenway (Longview) and a major road (3rd). Surely there are more industrial locations for the city suited for such a business. It is not true commerce (which would be awesome in that area) but is "set it and forget it" investing. Ugly, wasteful, and most importantly the wrong choice for the location. Definitely build something, but something that people will regularly access and use.
I am requesting that a speed bump and a flashing speed indicator be installed in a location along W Woodlawn Ave, somewhere between S Weatherstone Ln and E Wilson St. The speed limit on S Woodlawn Ave is 25 MPH, but the average vehicle's speed in front of my approximate address is closer to 45 MPH, with many vehicles regularly reaching speeds over 60 MPH and even 80 MPH at least daily. The reason why the speed limit is 25 MPH on S Woodlawn Ave is because of its proximity to Indiana University foot and bike commuters, Bryan Park, the Bryan Park Pool, a bus stop, and Union Elementary School. In addition to these elements, S Woodlawn Ave is also hilly which contributes to dangers associated with limited lines of sight between vehicles and pedestrians. Being a thoroughfare between Hillside Ave and streets north of it, traffic naturally flows faster than 25 MPH especially with the only stop sign between 1st St and Hillside Ave being at Sheridan Ave. Drivers frequently “floor” their vehicles through S Woodlawn Ave, and the police speed enforcement seems to never pull anyone over for speeding. For the above reasons, the current traffic pattern on S Woodlawn Ave is incompatible with its intended use. Installing a speed bump and a flashing speed indicator (for both northbound and southbound traffic) will hopefully greatly reduce thoroughfare excessive speeds. I am worried that this is a formula for someone to get hurt and it is only a matter of time unless the City does something about this. Please at least conduct a traffic study. Thank you for receiving my note, and I will be following up on this.
Park Ridge East's traffic calming signs acquired through HAND have been destroyed repeatedly. Greenway improvements are to take place 2024 we are told? But any shortening of that timeline would be greatly appreciated. There is high speed, cut-through traffic, and people who desperately need something more than a plastic sign to convince them to drive safely.
Walkers need a pedestrian crossing signal and equally important, Pete Ellis road to hospital must complete its sidewalk all the way to this intersection. We walk to the hospital and here must walk in the street, where employees and patients sometimes race home to 10th St., not expecting walkers in the street. Help! It may be IU property that needs the sidewalk. Please muscle them to do so. Thank you!
Not sure how to lodge opposition but heard Curry is wanting to build self-storage at 4600 Morningside. Total waste of a valuable piece of property on a Greenway. That East/West Greenway should be places people want to bike and walk to, not a wasteful self storage area that will be all vehicular traffic. Not to mention it's in a residential neighborhood and there is not a traffic light there and it will be THREE stories of nothing but storage? We can do better, Bloomington. If the City can reject for any reason please do so.
