Reported by commercial tenant 107 N Dunn Street, bent door to water meter pit in front of 111 N Dunn Street, 5" depression in center of doors. I cut a piece of OSB and placed it over the trap doors, reported to the City of Bloomington under Utilities, needs to be repaired/replaced.
Just curious if any State/County/City agency or legislative body bans smoking outdoors in public parks by statute/ordinance/regulation. Specifically, there is a cigar-smoker (loud, older, possibly un-housed) who often sits on a bench near the NW corner of People's Park about 11am and smokes a cigar that can be smelled by anyone who walks through the park and even across the street at the bagel shop. Just wondering if he could be asked to smoke where other people are not forced to smell it.
There is nowhere to walk at the corner of 10th and College. Every single sidewalk is closed and it is dangerous to walk in the street.
Potholes at Skylark, where it meets Highland. Also one near mailbox 1721 Highland. Pothole near Nancy and Hillside is not filled yet, nor is the one near the entrance of Deer Park Manor
There is a crater/sinkhole forming on the alley about 25 paces north of the 10th Street sidewalk. It is close to a 4" steel pipe set vertically in the ground. Would be easy for a small-footed individual to twist an ankle in.
After reading about the variance denied to the property owner, Randy Lloyd, I couldn’t help but think about the current use of the site at or about 113 E Kirkwood. This property sits in an overlay that does not permit surface parking. I can’t find any use in the UDO where parking is allowed when not attached to a structure, and I specifically remember a number of discussions regarding this issue. In particular the Methodist Church’s desire to convert the footprint of the old post office to surface parking. I believe that had to turn it into green space. I also have concerns that this lot is 100% impervious. 20.4.20 I just don’t see how this use satisfies the spirit of the Comprehensive Plan, the existing UDO, or is consistent w previous use determinations. Further, the owner expanded the parking from what was there pre-demolition of the 4th street garage without any public review. Finally, I doubt this parcel meets the requirements of 18.12.10. How would BFD access or service a car fire on this parcel? It’s too narrow to get truck in there and difficult to service from the alley. This use may have been over looked during the demolition and reconstruction of the 4th street garage, even though parking was not really needed downtown during the pandemic, however, it’s time for enforcement against this parcel and other nonconforming uses.
Street lights on the south side of Kirkwood from Washington to Grant are not on
There is a Bird Scooter partially blocking the sidewalk in front of the PACE bicycle share rack directly across from Bloomington Bagel Company on Dunn Avenue.
Trash overflowing on north side of building. Possibly assocaited with apartments behind bagel shop.
