I believe the city of Bloomington can increase its tax revenues from various forms such as bringing in more residents and students or increasing the average spending of each resident. I am a MBA student at IU and I have a few ideas to help this beautiful city prosper.
Commercial vehicle driving without a valid license.
Residents growing concerned about the force fit of the north west side of county for new jail complex location. Is the city council and administration working to advocate for a more centralized area? This should not be placed to impact commuters, the adjacent retirement homes and elderly and minor care facilities nearby, in addition to various homes and the adjacent community to this “north park” location. The south side of Bloomington received backing to prevent the rezone and placement of the facility there, which arguably is a better location than this new proposal! Will the Council and Administration be stepping up to get the County to consider alternate plans and locations? The karsts, adjacent quarries, and potential for park land to the north west should be considered as high priority instead of an incarceration center. We’re not in favor of increasing the jail size or this location!
Street light bulb has been out for long time at: 3229 S Coppertree Drive
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.
There is a street light out on the corner of Grimes and Dunn St. We have had some vandalism to neighborhood cars and several neighbors have expressed concerns that Dunn street is not well lit. We could use additional street lighting and replacement of existing lights that are not working.
Street light is out. 2 cars had windshields smashed last night in neighborhood. Working street light might help, ad there is a non working light there.
My AirPods were recently stolen and I have them tracked at this location. It’s on 1600 N walnut st at waterview apartments.
There is a homeless person sleeping in the bridge/walkway from the 4th Street parking garage. They are wearing charcoal colored jeans, appear to have a white undershirt and a black one over it. He had his head covered with a black zip-up hoodie, so I couldn't see his face.
Can the police department start enforcing traffic and noise/nuisance laws? There’s a reason these got passed as law to be in place. Quality of life and good sleep matter, but enforcement hasn’t been occurring since before the pandemic. Hope to see this turn around and put our dollars at work for better environment
