Parking Meters and Citations
405 W 7th ST

The meters in front of 401 w Seventh st were installed backwards. To feed the meter it should face away from the car/street just like the rest of the meters around town. When looking for a parking spot I look for meters flashing green so I can save some money. These meters are backwards - so you can’t see if it is flashing red or green

Although the map doesn't indicate it, there is a house on the corner that appears to be running a commercial paint company. There's a trailer with no less than 50 5 gal paint buckets and a storage trailer as well. Not sure if paint is leeching out of the trailer but it looks like crap in a residential neighborhood.

Jo Strong in H.A.N.D. wanted to know if the dumpster at 406 E 11th would require a surround. I checked the POLK directories this complex has been there since the early 1970's

She said she has called before and nothing has been done. The dumpster is always overflowing and trash is blowing into her yard. The dumpster is behind her house.

Dumpster has been moved next to an exit door and not in a containment area. 705 N. Grant has toilet paper in the trees and everywhere.

This building has an extremely bright on the west side of the building that not only illuminates their property at night but also shines across Grant street and floods the houses across the street with sharp, glaring light. It is so blindingly bright that it is hazardous to walk down the steps of those houses at night. Can the city require that property owners face lights downward and/or ask them to install some sort of shielding so that the lights are not so offensive to the adjacent neighbors and neighborhood in general? It's bad enough that the building is so generic and tacky, but can the city prevent them from ruining the lives of people in other properties, all the while causing a hazardous situation to exist?

We have complained about this before, but nothing was done. The dumpster in the parking lot has a large hole on the east side near the bottom, ostensibly for drainage. However, it is large enough for rats to enter and exit, which they do to feast at night. There are *always* rats running around the parking lot because of this. They live in the little caves right behind the dumpster. Please do *not* poison or trap the rats. Rather, we would like the hole sealed up so that the rats will no longer have an endless source of food and will move somewhere else. This seems like a simple fix. What do we have to do to get someone to listen?

Note: prior complaint was filed under a different address by the system ("402"). The case number for that was #186916 (https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=186916) The response then that the hole is for rain water is nonsensical. If people kept the lids closed, what little rain we get would not enter the dumpster. Also, no other dumpsters in the neighborhood have such holes and an associated rat problem.
