Glare from unshielded light Element exposed Light tresspass
Nuisance light prevents peaceful enjoyment of our property due to glare and light trespass of unshielded light on south of this house, not facing the street, shining on our property. City selectively failing to enforce the code: Glare. All lighting fixtures shall be installed so as not to cause glare at or beyond the property line and shall not be aimed toward traffic. Light Trespass. All lighting fixtures shall be installed so that light trespass from any property line, except a property line abutting a public street, shall not exceed two footcandles at a point one meter beyond the property line.

The chair swings on the south side of the Switchyard Park playground are so squeaky you really can’t enjoy them or have a conversation

My property at [address] flooded again on June 18, 2025, continuing a long-standing pattern of stormwater failures. This area lies within FEMA Zone AE. I have lost two vehicles to flooding and continue to suffer property damage and personal risk due to repeated flood events. The creek that repeatedly overflows lies just off my property line, meaning I have no ability to access, maintain, or control the waterway that causes these floods. Despite this, my home bears the damage. City crews have occasionally cleared culverts, but no long-term mitigation appears to have been performed. This remains a clear public hazard. I am formally requesting inspection and corrective action by the City under Title 13 of the Bloomington Municipal Code, which mandates maintenance, inspection, and prevention of stormwater harm. I have also contacted FEMA Region V to report this issue and request federal documentation. Attached to this report is one photo showing flooding on my property during the June 18, 2025 event, after I had to relocate my vehicle to prevent further damage. A parcel map showing the property location in relation to the adjacent creek is also available upon request. I ask that you please confirm this report is logged and provide a response or timeline for action.

Accessibility issue. One of the sections of covered tables at Switchyard Park is blocked off. The other side is open, but there are no wheelchair accessible table on that side. I can’t sit at any of the available tables. The other seating area needs to stay open during Food Truck Friday, or you need to move some accessible tables to the other side. ATTN Michael Shermis
Last year we reported numerous pot holes and asphalt deterioration especially next to the gutters on Piccadilly, Westminster Way and Buckingham Drive. We were told the asphalt would be patched last year and it still has not been done. The asphalt continues to deteriorate in large chunks.
Yard is waist high in grass, not mowed all year. higher than lawn mower can easily do front and back yard (back yard obscured by front)
