The abandoned building behind the Storage Facility I manage is home to many homeless around Bloomington. They are leaving trash all over the ground as well as throwing things into the back side of the property. I myself do not feel safe enough to go back there to clean this up and there are people living out of campers back there and sleeping on the ground. This is causing issues with debris and trash being tossed onto our property causing an unsafe environment. I can not properly clean this area safely and would like the owners if this building to clean up the area from trash and debris.

601 Maxwell Lane is a house zoned as a rental property but may be in violation of occupancy restrictions. The house consistently has 5 plus cars in the side driveway, on occasion blocking the alley that runs behind S Fess Ave. Garbage is consistently in front of the house, on the lawn and surrounding areas, and parties from the house leave garbage along the alley and on nearby property. At present, there is broken glass in the driveway/alleyway where cars enter the alley from Maxwell Lane, which was presumably broken during a party last evening (with noise complaints filed by neighbors).

I’m not 100% sure it’s this address, but someone nearby has a rooster and it’s crowing all the time and is quite annoying. I believe the guy at 615 w Ralston has chickens and that’s the general area the rooster crowing (starting as early as 5:15am) is coming from. If it’s not him, it’s someone pretty close to him. Maybe next door to him or even on Country Club. Can someone please try to get this rooster out of the city limits? Thank you!!!

The "Stone Mansion" on Washington has damage to the stone wall. It's a historic structure, so I hope it is fixed with regards to that and not a cheap fix.

So my name is Jeremiah Jackson. I have been a Monroe county resident almost all my life. I have reported some things to the Bloomington police department and to two news agencies about officer misconduct and abuse of power. I can’t seem to get anything done in this regard. I’m writing to see if I can get a moment of your time? I’d really appreciate it if you or someone in your office would take the time to have a discussion, it involves misuse of power and my request for a restraining order and protective order and the fact these individuals are still stalking me and harassing me. Thank you very much for your time. His name is Jeremy m ayres, possibly Shawn Riggs. And they claim they are an officer named Chris Scott but my attorney has done checked into that. They do not have a warrant or court order. So there harassment is not legal by any means . It isn’t surveillance or an investigation it is blatantly harassment.

I am 62 years old, and this time last year I was just getting back to work after 3 1/2 months rest healing from a broken ankle. When I moved in to 1200 W 12th St, I noticed the sign (photo #1). I even asked Bloomington Housing Authority about it. They said it would be okay to park in front of my apartment. I have been parking in front of my apartment since March 2024. No tickets, no problems. It made it very easy to get to my apartment - load or unload my car - and I could keep an eye on it while in my apartment. Today I get home from work (I work full time at IU as a custodian. Yes - I work FULL TIME and still need Section 8 to get a place to live) to see fresh paint denying me my usual parking spot. I had an ADA tag for a while, but it was temporary. It expired. The problem is: I can’t see my car now unless I get up and look through the one window that lets me see my car. If I have to park farther away, I won’t be able to see it at all, and I will have to walk farther and across the street to access my car. I am old, diabetic, autistic and cannot walk a far as I could before the broken ankle. After work, it is very common for my right ankle to be aching on top of the Diabetic Neuropthy I have in both feet in addition to my jangled nerves from interacting with people and handling emergencies. This neighborhood can get a bit sketchy sometimes - it helped my normally high anxiety level to be able to see my car. My anxiety is already high from people walking so close to my apartment and cutting through my yard - can’t do anything about that so I live with that anxiety. I don’t want to break the law, but this is so unfair! I already pay $828 a month for this tiny apartment - that is ONE WHOLE PAYCHECK. My rent is figured as 30% of my GROSS income. I pay quite a bit for my taxes and Insurance, and I have quite a few medical issues so I have to scramble sometimes to get bills paid and pay for all the drugs I have to take. I live paycheck to paycheck. I have to work so I have health Insurance. Even though I am 62, I can’t get Social Security if I want to live here because it would price me out of Section 8 and I would have to move (AGAIN - I just moved in here a year and a half ago). I can’t work less because i need Insurance from work until I reach 65 and can get Medicare (if it still exists by then). If I have to park further away, then my ankle will be that much more achy when I get home. I’m going to see if maybe I can qualify for a permanent ADA Tag, but even then the 4 HOUR LIMIT would kick me in the butt. That doesn’t even take into account bad weather days or having to walk farther with loads. Where I am currently parked in photo #7 would be a better ADA space. Usually no one parks there, and it is closer to the Boys and Girls Club. Please help me.

I work in Luddy Hall on the IU Campus. I have an ADA sticker for my car. The only ADA parking close to the southside of the building in on the west side of Myles Brank Hall behind Luddy. The City of Bloomington has timed parking along the south side of Luddy on Cottage Grove. It would benefit me to have at least one or preferably two of those parking spaces issued for drivers with a disabled license. This building has no parking on the other three sides. I'm 71 years old with major health issues and we have elderly and/or disabled family members come to Luddy also, especially in inclement weather when there is more possibility of falls. Thank you for your consideration. You are welcome to contact our ADA representative at IU, Frank Epperson at [email protected] He is also aware of the situation.
