Dear City of Bloomington Representative, I am writing to formally request the consideration of an ordinance prohibiting the use of engine brakes (commonly known as “Jake Brakes”) on E 3rd Street West of SR 446 into Bloomington. This stretch of road, being a key route with both residential and commercial presence, frequently experiences disruptive noise pollution from heavy trucks utilizing engine brakes. As a resident in the area at Summerhouse, I can personally attest to the significant impact this has on daily life and overall well-being. The frequent noise not only disrupts daytime activities but also affects my ability to sleep soundly at night, compromising rest and health. Supporting Evidence: 1. Noise Pollution and Health: Studies have consistently shown that chronic exposure to high-decibel noise—like that produced by engine brakes—can contribute to sleep disturbances, increased stress levels, and even cardiovascular risks. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), noise above 55 dB is considered harmful, and engine brakes often exceed 80–100 dB. 2. Ordinance Effectiveness: Many municipalities across the U.S. have adopted engine brake ordinances in residential areas to reduce noise pollution and improve quality of life. 3. Local Impact: Given the residential density and commercial activity along E 3rd Street, enforcing a restriction would bring it in line with common noise abatement practices, ensuring a quieter, more livable environment for its residents. I believe that introducing this ordinance would not only improve the quality of life for residents but also align with community standards of noise control and public health considerations. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this matter further and provide any additional information that may be helpful. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Paul Laudeman

Our neighborhood recently had our sidewalks updated to be ADA acceptable and with that our driveway and sidewalk by our house was tore up. The photo above is a spot in the sidewalk they did not fill with concrete and is a hazard to anyone walking. They also left big gaps in our yard where they fixed the sidewalks which is another hazard. If we could have someone come out and look and fix this issue so no one gets hurt.
