Once again, the section of West 11th st between Adams St and Fountain Dr has become a speedway. Drivers CD are absolutely flying down the road. Captain Pedigo, I know you are stretched thin when it comes to number of officers, but could you do your best to set up radar sometime on this section of road? Our neighborhood would truly appreciate it.

Wednesday evening 7:30pm: maroon Toyota Rav4 with New Jersey license plates traveling west on 12th Street turned south on Lincoln (against the One-Way direction) and then speeded to the alley where it turned and parked in the back (north side) of this house. This almost caused an accident, and is a recurring problem with this particular address and vehicle ever since August when the new occupants moved in. Likely an undergraduate, possibly one who is either illiterate or just intellectually handicapped, or perhaps the person simply feels entitled to break Indiana driving laws (maybe there are no laws in New Jersey), but more likely it is just an inconsiderate, self-serving, and dangerous person who disregards rules that s/he deems inconvenient and someone who needs to be held accountable. Please do something about this - pedestrians (human and otherwise) rely on the manner and direction of traffic to be consistent and are not expecting vehicles traveling at relatively high rates of speed and headed in the wrong direction.

I think the house is 522. You will know it when you see it. There are two vehicles parked in the street. One is a silver Honda van. The other is a gold Altima. Both have flat or almost flat tires. The Altima has been there for a year or more. The Honda van has been there maybe a month. They have too many cars for a single family and we on Plymouth are tired of the sight and having to drive around two "abandoned" vehicles. Thank you for your help with this matter.

Greetings.
In my experience, as well as observations, it does not appear that there is much, if any, enforcement of the Hands-Free Driving state law that went into effect in 2019 in the City of Bloomington. There also doesn't seem to be much accountability to that law as in my experience, the person who rear-ended me told the BPD officer she hit me because she was looking at her phone, but following too close was on the citation and not distracted driving. Why is that? I was told that he didn't want to put more than one reason down. Well, why not distracted driving as that is what she admitted to? Also, there doesn't seem to be any sort of a public safety education campaign in any way... I could imagine that the social media accounts would be a great place for a weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly Public Safety Announcement (PSA) for some friendly reinforcement, reminders, remedial lessons, etc. about the laws that provide structure around driving a couple ton heavy potentially lethal machine around these safe and civil streets. I think Bloomington motorists need a few reminders on some general laws about operating a motor vehicle, especially the hands-free driving state law. Can someone please speak a bit to this concern of mine? Much obliged for your time.

Mitsubishi Spyder silver 514TWW all tires are flat, Registration expired 2 years ago.
It is unsafe as the roads in the neighborhood are already narrow and is an impediment to pedestrian and motor traffic.
