Hello, I wanted to find out information on temporary rentals in Bloomington; services like airbnb, vrbo, and others. Is there information online or could you direct me who to contact about rules/regulations/taxes? I have a second question; I would like to convert my 2-car garage into a studio apartment; can direct me to finding out more about permitting and rules/regulations? Thanks for your help!

Eighth Street is extremely poorly lit. From Walnut all the way to Fess there are almost no street lights and its extremely dangerous. I feel unsafe walking home from the IU campus at night, or even walking home from a restaurant in the evening. The lack of street lights in this area is simply ridiculous. The city of Bloomington has an obligation to make sure its citizens are safe and it is neglecting to do so. The area that is the subject of this complaint is the exact same street in which Hannah Wilson was abducted and murdered, and within the last month the exact same street has been the location of an armed robbery. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that something must be done to make this area safer. The city has a responsibility to do everything within its power to protect its citizens, and adding a few streetlights hardly seems like an impossible task.
I looked over ordinances and the site at length and could not find what I was looking for. Is there some ordinance about people's animals taking a S@#$ on your yard all the @#$% time? A few folks are considerate enough to bring tools to pick it up, but we are finding this is not the case all too often. People walk their dogs and simply let them S@#% in our yard. This is nonsense. If it happened 1 , 2 times a year, so be it, but that is not the case. If there is no formal ordinance on such matters, so be it, but I thought I would check before anyone was confronted.
A friend sent me the following email: Hey I have a issue and since you walk alot I always think of you. You know where Pete Ellis drive is. Well by the railroad tracks there is a walk cross and they need to add alot more lighten there would you contact who ever u call and tell them. It scares me that a walker is going to get hit.

Yikes! The rise of the sidewalks has started. Corner of constitution and Curry
I signed my family up for softball and now I don't want to take my kids. There is a lot of alcohol and drug use that seems to be common practice. Not a place to bring your family.

May I have a new sign that is pretty and vertical? Please
I've already requested a Street light install for bus stop at corner of w. Allen and peachtree lane over a year ago and there's still no light.
I'd like to express my appreciation for the great cleanup job on the roundabout at S. Sare Road and Rogers Road performed by City employees this morning. It looks great! Thank you, Travis Thickstun 2750 E. Buttonwood Lane Bloomington, Ind. 47401
