Request for Zoning and Code Compliance Review – @826_shows Pop-Up : I am writing to request that the city monitor and review the operations of a recurring pop-up music venue publicized via Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/826_shows/.The venue operates out of a residential neighborhood, hosts public live music events, and charges an entry fee. This raises several municipal and state compliance concerns that I would like the city to address proactively with the operators: Zoning Use: The operation of a commercial, ticketed entertainment venue appears to conflict with residential zoning designations and the strict limitations placed on Home Occupations under the Bloomington UDO. State Fire Safety: Under Indiana Code § 22-14-3, public entertainment events that charge admission require a state Amusement and Entertainment Permit, which generally cannot be issued for Class 2 residential structures due to life-safety codes. Neighborhood Impacts: Recurring assemblies of this scale present consistent risks regarding the 24/7 noise ordinance (BMC Chapter 14.09) and residential occupancy limits. Please consider investigating this location and working constructively with the venue operators to guide them toward compliant business practices, or to help them transition their events to properly zoned commercial spaces.

Dear Whom it may concern, I realized that there are several kids (middle schoolers or six-graders) are driving crazy with dirt e-motorbike on the streets and park trails. These motor-bike's speeds are definitely over 30 mph sometimes, and I am sure that these kids doesn't have driver's licenses. They don't show any respect on the traffic rule because they don't know the rules. Once I see that one kid drove this motorbike at the school zone (Childs elementary school) around 3:50 pm when school kids are getting out. They are not just racing but do some stunt in front of all kids showing off. I see many times that they are literally racing on the Jackson Creek trail shouting "get out of the way" to pedestrians. I reported this several times to 911, but nothing changes. Please take some actions (impose fines and warnings to their parents) before somebody dies or serious hurt. It is just a matter of time. Please take this seriously and immediate actions. I can provide videos if the police wants to identify these kids. PLEASE.
