Dear City Department / Fleet Supervisor, I am writing to report a near-miss incident involving a City vehicle that occurred on 2/16/2026 at approximately 9:41am at the intersection of Stipp Rd, Handy Rd, and Moffett Rd. I was traveling from Stipp Rd toward Moffett Rd when a City vehicle pulled out from Handy Rd onto Moffett Rd at the same time I was proceeding through. It appeared that the driver may have misjudged the right-of-way or believed there was a stop sign controlling my direction of travel. As a result, I was forced to swerve and slam on my brakes to avoid a collision. Had I not reacted immediately, I likely would have either struck the City vehicle or ended up in the ditch on the right side of the roadway. The situation was extremely close and could have resulted in significant vehicle damage or serious injury. The City vehicle was described as: Vehicle type/color: Gray Ford Escape Plate Number: 100008 I am submitting this report out of concern for public safety and to help prevent a future accident by this individual. Please let me know if you need any additional information from me. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Five dogs came out of the back door at 1432 Winfield at 2:29 pm today (1/14/2026) and proceeded to run around the yard, barking steadily, until 3:15 at which time it was snowing and windy. They then all went on the deck where the largest dogs proceeded to climb on the back door for the next 45 minutes to get back into the house. No one ever came out to see what they were doing.

Hello: I am sick of seeing these vagrants walking by my house at the corner of College Street and West Hillside Drive. I spoke to an officer last Tuesday and requested more police car drive by’s, evidently it is not working. I appreciate it, if more police cars can be visible in this neighborhood, behind the Switchyard Park, which drives them in. Please put a barrier on College Street and the South Side of the park by the Walnut Street side of the SWITCHYARD Park Parking Lot where the vagrants enter and exit with back packs and bicycles going through the Railroad Park neighborhood where your police department and YOU ignore for safety. I’ve reported this issue to Governor Braun, Erin Houchin US Representative of the House of Representatives and US Senator Todd Young. Please feel free to visit me at 117 W.Hillside Drive in your fair city for a front yard porch chat to watch all the “traffic “ go by my house. Thank you, Maryann Iaria 117 W. Hillside Drive Bloomington,IN. 47403 812-325–8654

The HVAC by the north entrance to the County side of Showers was giving off an almost Ozone like smell yesterday evening as I was leaving. Just wanted to bring it to your attention as I know that unit has had some issues recently.

I would like the street lighting in front of my house to be removed (or at a bare minimum, the light fixture being updated to something that is DarkSky lighting approved where it is ideally motion sensor activated and directionally pointed down and away from my house). It forces us to do substantial light control inside my house when we'd generally like to leave blinds and curtains open to the view of the gold course across the street, it disrupts sleep for some of the members of our household, and this type of light pollution is terrible for wildlife. When we moved into this house in 2022, the light quickly burned out and was not operational for more than 18 months. That was definitely a better situation than the light now that it is illuminated again. The light pole is 168 135.

For approximately three weeks, the tenant in Unit 6 (Jessiah) has repeatedly allowed his dog to defecate in the shared common area directly outside my unit without removing the waste. I have documented this behavior weekly and provided photos to the property manager. The issue has not been resolved. There are currently approximately 15–20 instances of dog waste in the common area. The accumulation is creating odor issues and interfering with normal use of the space. I have video documentation showing the dog defecating and the owner leaving without removal. I have spoken with the tenant previously about his dog and can confirm it belongs to him. I have also overheard him state that he does not pick up his dog’s waste. I am requesting enforcement of the city ordinance requiring pet owners to remove animal waste.
