We wanted to hear the MAYOR answer the tough HR related questions. HR is the problem, not the answer. The coffee event was not advertised as fun-only; we don't want pastries, we want answers and acknowledgement. You really did not understand the assignment.
Coffee with the mayor: wow. Asking us to like the social media videos while not addressing any actual difficult questions. Just save the money next time.
As a taxpayer, it’s frustrating to see city vehicle 572 frequently parked in secluded sections of the north football stadium parking lot most mornings for extended periods of time. Today over 90 minutes. Thank you.
Delivery vehicle parked illegally in no passing zone during a busy hour of the morning. Traffic was forced to pass in the oncoming (Eastbound) lane in a no passing zone heading directly into an intersection with The B-Line Trail. Much of the oncoming traffic was large trucks, FWIW. Traffic was at times backed up to the light at College and Kirkwood. This was around 9:15am. I waited 10 or more minutes, staff seemed in no hurry to rectify the situation.
This car has been parked in our lot for a month. License plate: 839CLY
Car blocking alley behind Parker Mgmt. Ongoing problem. Trucks can't get through at all
The sidewalk on 1st Street (btw College & Walnut) in front of Rally's is blocked with snow. I just helped a person in a wheelchair get unstuck from the mud next to the sidewalk. They had to go off the sidewalk since it was blocked.
I would like to express some disappointment in the overall process for the Kirkwood closures. I made the mistake of watching 2/4's city council meeting and was surprised at the level of outrage that some individuals had due to the city recognizing that what exists currently is insufficient and a drain of city resources. I can certainly appreciate why businesses on/right around Kirkwood would want to give their business an essentially free boost of revenue but missing from this equation is how it impacts non-Kirkwood businesses. It seems all is framed to help these bars and restaurants out but it seems if you go down there when the Kirkwood is open that they're already doing just fine. Further, the city did mention that there is approximately $80k in lost revenue, plus the staff drain...if we do end up closing it, maybe we should consider permit fees high enough to recoup these costs instead of giving them this PUBLIC space for the current nominal amount. Mostly I just want to state that while I look forward to a thoughtful Kirkwood redesign in the future that does expand options for businesses, residents, and visitors alike, Bloomington is much, much, much more than Kirkwood! I would love to see us start celebrating and investing into those areas with the same energy that we put into Kirkwood- even if they don't have the KCA behind them!!
Unsure what happened with our sewage pipe. Maintenance claimed there was tree roots in the pipe and they “unclogged” it. Our entire basement was filled with sewage and we were told to eat sleep and live in the house.
There are potholes On both lanes that really need to be fixed between W. graham Dr and W. country club drive / W. Tapp Rd . (on Rockport Rd.) People do swerve around them into the other lane and this is a dangerous situation. I hope this can be fixed soon. Thank You for your time. There are also a couple on S Adams st. between W. Tapp Rd and W Adams hill circle.
