Again. The City's HVAC unit on the north side of the Showers Building along 10th Street is incessantly screeching again. I documented the noise at 79 decibels earlier this morning. For weeks prior to the constant noise there was intermittent loud screech that sounded like a car accident when the unit would start up. It is startling and jolts you out of a peaceful walk from over a block away. This is a nuisance. My office is on the northwest corner of the Showers Building and I can hear the unit through the brick walls. When will you be upgrading this entire unit? It seems to be chronically having these loud sound issues.

Resident comment at Farmers Market OOTM table-- will curbs along divided bike lane that begins at the corner of 3rd and Clarizz (By Bfoods E) be painted orange for greater visibility? Noted many cars actually enter the bike lane because they don't see the curbs.

Hi, apologies if this isn’t the correct place for this, but I need to express my concern. Over the last year or so, I’ve taken more of an interest in City Council meetings and have been watching them on CATS when I can. I’ve noticed an odd…phenomenon(?). From what I’ve observed, council members more or less attack (sorry for lack of better term) city-hired consultants when they’re presented with information that they don’t agree with. Tonight’s community survey results being the latest example. It almost seemed like multiple members of council were suggesting that a firm be hired based on their ability to provide the data they preferred, rather than proven surveying methods. Again, this may just be me, but the aggressive questioning and more or less insulting of the “expert” was very off-putting. It happened with Hopewell presentations, too. Why does council feel the need to attack and then soap box? Everything feels knee-jerk and emotion based. I just wish there was more level-headed, unbiased conversation in these meetings. Like, these are the people making decisions for their voters but so many of their speeches are about them personally and may mention constituents, but in a very flippant way (if that makes sense). Anyway, it’s just concerning to me. These people are supposed to be representatives of the residents of Bloomington and therefore Bloomington itself, yet do not hesitate to make offensive comments to people hired to ultimately help the city become better. At what point does Bloomington just get the reputation of no one wanting to work with/for us because council is more or less abusive if they aren’t given information/data they agree with? Sorry if this just comes off as a rant—I truly hope it finds its way to some welcoming ears and eyes. And maybe, just maybe, inspires some change. I will use my singular vote each election cycle and hope for the best, in the meantime.

some excavators parked right on the yellow curb on 19th. It’s completely blocking the view of oncoming traffic, which is super sketchy. Really hope it gets moved soon
