Business
1300 block of South Palmer Avenue
- Case Date:
- 10/1/2025
There is a used car/truck business combined with a body shop business in our residential neighborhood. I believe the address is 1306 South Palmer Avenue, but I'm not sure of that number. If you come to the 1300 block of South Palmer Avenue, you cannot not notice what I'm talking about. Used cars and pickup trucks are routinely delivered, then refurbished at this, and then sold. This kind of activity should never be allowed in a residential neighborhood. I'm a homeowner living nearby, I pay city taxes to live in this neighborhood, and I beseech you to stop this illegal activity. This area is not zoned for business, it is not an industrial area; it is a neighborhood. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I expect a resolution to this problem soon.

THIS IS A USED CAR SELLING BUSINESS AND A BODY SHOP. WHAT ABOUT THOSE ISSUES. DO I NEED TO CONTACT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE ABOUT THESE VIOLATIONS? https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbloomington.in.gov%2Fcrm%2Ftickets%2Fview%3Fticket_id%3D206072&data=05%7C02%7Cmmccaffe%40iu.edu%7C2e0adb479e954bfa811c08de01b71f40%7C1113be34aed14d00ab4bcdd02510be91%7C1%7C0%7C638950083211614862%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=94L0GLtAvoOIoVKwjF2gNvz%2FR6caPEFy1v%2FxK0BsTl8%3D&reserved=0

#204971 So, you have no issue with the fact that this is a used car lot on a residential street? You have no issue with the fact that the owner of this used car lot, which would NEVER occur in any other neighborhood in the city, blocks traffic and impedes the two-way flow of traffic? You have no issue with the trashy area, littered with various types of products and containers for refurbishing cars? So, it's o.k. to have a used car facility in a residential neighborhood. Is that correct? Maybe I should start my own.

Could you send a truck over sometime and fill in the potholes and other washed-away asphalt on Wilson between S. Palmer and S. Lincoln. It's getting pretty rough, and that street is actually used a lot. Thank you!

South Lincoln, South Grant, and South Palmer are in terrible shape. There's a "killer" pot hole on Lincoln just north of the corner of Grimes and Lincoln.

Someone this past weekend dumped a box springs in the middle of Wilson Street between Grant and Palmer. I moved it off the street, but could you send a truck and pick it up?

Not sure what happened this week but recycles were left all over infront of the house. Everything fit in the can appropriately when they were put out last night.
City Construction Projects
- Case Date:
- 10/1/2025
The current construction project on 2nd street is extremely disruptive and causes the building to shake. For necessary/emergency daytime construction this is totally understandable, but the project on 2nd st (between Walnut/Rogers) has been doing construction only from late evening to overnight around 4-5am every day. I have not slept since the construction started a week ago and it is scheduled to continue another full week. Even if there is a permit to be exempt from the noise ordinance, please consider rescheduling this work to take place during daytime hours. As I said, the deeper digging affects the foundation of the building, causing very irritating vibrations that give me headaches and make sleep impossible. It has affected my work life and mental health to miss so much sleep. My window faces the road and this has been an absolute nightmare of a time for me.
Street Trees

Hi, We have a dangerous situation with the two city trees in front of my rental property at 707 S. Washington St. These tress continuously drop very large limbs on cars (damaging them) and on people walking along the sidewalk. Someone is going to get injured! These trees are constantly losing limbs. Can we please get you guys to trim them way back somehow? This particular tree was a bad choice to plant on a heavily traveled street/sidewalk along Washington St. Thank you in advance for your speedy response to this situation.
Trash

Today Wednesday October 1 2025 my trash was not picked up. Both my trash and my recycling containers were at the end of my driveway before 6am, and separated as usual. When I retrieved the empty recycling container around 9:45 am it was empty but the trash container was still full. When I returned home at 8pm the trash was still unemptied. I've left it at the end of my driveway hoping it can be emptied soon. Thanks, Don S.
