Following up on case# #185581: The people who ride those scooters are typically rude dismissive of common decency. They ride fast on sidewalks even when there are people present, they ride them in the dark in groups, sometimes 2-3 on a single scooter, they *often* ride the wrong way on one-way streets, and if you make a comment to them about hazards they are creating they curse and/or gesture obscenely. Please please please ban them from the city. Yesterday there was another accident - 10th/Woodlawn this time. Does the City really want to be known as a place that encourages people to risk their lives, and turn a blind eye when people are injured or killed? How many more accidents is it going to take for you to wake up and stop the insanity.

City workers replacing sidewalks on south side of 1st Street between Ballantine and Jordan has started well before 7:00 a.m., estimiate 6:20 a.m. for a couple of days now, violating the city's own noise regulation. It is not intermittent, but rather a cement truck continually backing up.

What hubris this city has. It wants compliments, but there is no place to complain. I can't even get to the ombudsman anymore.
There are no email addresses. I will NOT join any of the social media sites I hate the existence of to contact government. It is wrongdoing to re1quire them.
My complaints:
1. The signal at walnut and smith is out of sync with the other signals, wasting gasoline to help idiot bikes.
2. Closing Rogers street is STUPID. They buyilt a bridge to connect Rogers street 20 years agon, and now the idiots in the city want to close it for a stupid tech park that will never be used.
Today my wife missed her appointment (and had to pay for it anyway) because you closed streets for a totally unnecessary (LUXURY) foot race. It is supposed to be against state law to hold races on public streets. There was no way to get out of my neighborhood to get to a 9:00 am appointment.

I wrote you a week ago about a street light that has gone out on our street. Our neighborhood is really dark and we would appreciate if it can be fixed very soon. We have had 1 attempted burglary and a theft of a truck in the time that I have asked that the street light get repaired. We would really appreciate if this issue can be fixed as soon as possible. The street light in question is the one opposite our property on 1104 S. Covenanter Drive. Also, we think that there was an issue with the street light when it did work as it would stay on 24 hours a day. Thank you.

I am a Park and MC-IRIS adopt a Greenspace volunteer. Late afternoon I was volunteering to remove invasive plants in SEP and observed a white male adult driving a gas-powered motorbike at a high speed westbound on the Renwick trail and then driving up into a backyard about three houses south of the Moores Creek Pike parking lot. My park colleague informed me that this is illegal and to submit this as a U-report. This behavior endangers park and trail users.

Hi, there is a crosswalk across Kinser Pike between 2 sets of apartment buildings. The sidewalk ends here, so people have to cross the street to get to the bus stop, gas station, or grocery store. There have been a few times where people have been crossing the street at night in dark colors and it has been impossible to see them until you have just enough time to brake. I think a street light or a crossing light is necessary to prevent a pedestrian incident in the future.

Traffic lights don't function properly in this whole city. I can't wait for the traffic during the eclipse and there is a red light for all cars and everybody just sits there pondering the meaning why the traffic department people deserve to keep their job.

I was towed out of my IU dorm (I have a parking permit, I was simply outside the allowed hours to park in that specific spot) and I’m not exactly contesting the tow, which was non-consensual by the way, but the fact that I am being charged well over $200 for fees for the tow them housing the car for mere hours. I read the city law and it says something along the lines of I shouldn’t be charged greater than $135 for a tow, so im a bit confused here where the extra hundred dollars or so is coming from. I also spoke with some city of Bloomington parking officials and the company that towed me, Wray automotive, doesn’t have a license apparently, so I’m not sure what’s up with that. She told me to file this u report. Please get back to me when you can, thank you!
