The website “gobloomington.org” is either an unofficial site posing as an official city initiative, or it needs fixing. It features the city logo and copyright on the bottom of the page, but none of the links work except for the “register / login” option at the bottom of the page which leads to a gambling website (making it seem like perhaps someone else is using the city’s logo and name as a front for that site?). If this is indeed an official city website, it should not be leading to a scammy gambling site. If it is not an official city website, I hope you are able to file a cease and desist to get the misleading site removed from the web. Thank you.
A pile of scooters is blocking the sidewalk in front of 209 East Wylie Street. They have been there since last weekend.
Is there a place to request NO new street lights? Or to oppose requests for new and "improved" lighting? There is plenty of evidence that night lighting is harmful, to humans and to animals. There is also evidence that lighting does not reduce crimes. I don't live in a "bright" area of the city, and yet light is all around me at night, including creeping into my house and bedroom even though I have room darkening drapes. I want nighttime and stars back. I can't be the only one, and yet it seems that procedures are set up to favor increased lighting and profits for Duke.
East Janet Drive street has numerous surface damage areas, ie pot holes. The street would greatly benefit from resurfacing.
I live at 837W 6th Street at the corer of W 6th and the 200 block of Waldron. There is a Maple tree on the City side of the sidewalk whose branches a hanging over the sidewalk such that walkers have to duck or go around as they walk by. It needs to be trimmed. Thank you, Gracia Valliant

I don't know if this is the right site to complain, but the traffic light at Tapp Road and Deborah Dr. has recently started turning red a lot more than it used to. The problem with this in my opinion is that there are sometimes 10-12 cars stopped on Tapp Road while there are from 0-2 coming out of Deborah Dr. It also stays red longer than it used to. Just doesn't make a lot of sense.
When heading south on College lately, the lights at 3rd, 2nd and 1st seemed to be perfectly time to turn red when heading south at the speed limit between each. I don’t know if this is incidental but could be much better. Also the light at Walnut and South Dr is turning green for South Drive for lengthy periods even when there is no one waiting and even during early AM hours.
