600 E. First St. has a parking area off Henderson St. that fits two cars without encroaching on sidewalk. Current tenants are parking three cars, which results in sidewalk obstruction because they don't angle in enough. See photo. Please work with landlord to prevent this busy commuter sidewalk right of way from pinching down to just two or three feet.
Side yard and backyard are full of junk, some not visible because of extremely overgrown grass
I wanted to let someone be aware that while driving home yesterday (9/8/25) around 3:20pm, there was a city vehicle pulling onto 69 south from 46. This driver was flying - once he passed me he kept flying. I was speeding myself at 80mph(in my personal vehicle) and i couldn't keep up. He got behind a semi in the middle lane and i took the left lane to pass. Not only was he going 80 he was also talking on his hand held phone. He eventually passed me again and kept going onto 37 south past the light at Victor Pike. He was in car #503. I could care less if he was in his personal vehicle but he was in a city vehicle, what a horrible way to represent this city! I couldn't have been more disappointed in our city knowing we have employees like that. I would hope someone is able to address this employee regarding his driving in a city vehicle. thanks!
We are the owners/residents at 809 S. Stull in Bloomington. I want to report an issue at a neighboring rental apartment. The owner/landlord a 812 S Stull dumped a bunch of junk on their front lawn of their building with a little sign saying "Free stuff." This is junk that should be collected and discarded (see photo). Can the city put pressure on this landlord to properly dispose of this stuff? It is obnoxious to have trash littering a property on a residential street for over a week now. Thank you!
I am reporting this issue again, having to do with complaint #205576, with added information, and due to the fact that as of 9pm today/tonight (9/9/2025) none of the signs have actually been removed. I believe I also might've submitted to the wrong department. I have multiple photos, but it is only letting me upload the one of the sign on the opposite side of W. 3rd Street, which is currently secured to one of the city/county's traffic cameras, and is taking up some of the sidewalk, as it is more than just a simple signboard. The other 2 signs are located at the entrance to S. Yancy Ln. . One is mounted to the street sign for S. Yancy Ln. with plastic zip-ties, and the other one is secured to a "DEAD END" road sign, with what appears to be bungee cord. I believe the person who put the signs up resides at 106 Yancy Ln. and they should be cited/fined! The signs should also be removed either by city personnel or by the person who posted them immediately. Every day they remain where they are, it just encourages more residents to engage in the same activity.
For Administration Leadership and All Council Members: midwestern citizens including all of Bloomington and Monroe county are paying very close attention to the AI wave and increase in control of resources that put cost burdens on the common rate payer instead of the companies drawing upon those resources the most. Citizens need some public acknowledgement that this is on leaders’ radar and that our leadership will have a voice in this issue as these projects continue to pop up in adjacent locations across the state. Leadership should be putting resources toward advocacy at the state level to get these costs lowered for common citizens and get these tech giants to pay their fair share. When folks can no longer afford power or water we have a major issue. Please don’t turn away from this rising issue. Water is the next big resource crisis and we need to stay ahead of it.
Pedestrian Crossing sign @ N. Pete Ellis Drive (300 Block) on East side approach is not visible due to low tree limbs. Motorists not familiar with this roadway may not see pedestrians as they step off the shaded and tree-covered curb under signage.
"Speed limit and Curve Ahead" sign next to entrance of IU Farmstead on N. Pete Ellis Drive is blocked by low-hanging limbs limiting visibility of motorists/cyclists, etc. near the Railroad approach & across from the Woodbridge Post Office busy intersection.
While I am happy that a path was made, the plate in the middle of the sidewalk creates both a trip hazard and an impediment to anyone using a wheelchair or other mobility aid
Tree limbs hanging over sidewalks in Java Heights obstructing sidewalks. Several properties trees covering sidewalks. Property owners told me to wear hard hat or walk in road..this needs addressed, I have fallen once already, next time will involve police reports
