The public works department of this city is a disgrace. We were promised Grimes/Walnut would not be closed until the Country Club lane between Walnut and Rodgers was fixed. We were lied to. It's impossible to leave our homes and get anywhere in the city AS IT IS NOW. And yet, you are about to close more intersections on this side of town. It's pathetic. 1/4th of your town is stuck in traffic for 30 to 50 minutes longer ONE WAY. We literally had a discussion tonight about how we were going to get groceries and get to and from work anymore. It's almost unlivable here and it's going to get worse if you don't cancel this moronic construction projects until THE ONES ALREADY IN PROGRESS are complete. Take the money loss from your horrid planning, own up to your complete and utter failures, and WAIT until things are done before starting more disastrous work.

This intersection is on a hill and it's very difficult to see oncoming traffic from the left. I think this should be a three way stop sign because the speed of the traffic makes it hard to stop.

I commute daily and rely on the Bloomington Rail Trail. I arrived this morning to find the trail closed. I was on the trail yesterday and saw no evidence the trail would be closing.

With the new administration incoming, will there be a renewed focus on female centered solutions for various items in city hall? The women’s bathrooms have gaping cracks in the stalls which lack privacy, there is a bolt missing in a lock that creates a peep hole, and the breastfeeding privacy area is a curtain at the entrance of the 1st floor bathroom which provides little to no privacy as folks can see into the area when the door opens and you can clearly see shoes and who’s in the area below the curtain. It is difficult to report these issues on the internal system as they require a lot of information and cannot be reported anonymously by staff who just simply seek workplace improvements and equity. Thank you for any assistance with this!

Why is the expansion of the showers building into the west not for the expansion of city hall? This seems most logical as there are employees spilling into hallways, lack of meeting rooms, lack of parking, and no need to move those (police and fire) into a smaller space when they both respectively have their own headquarters. Very puzzling choices

What happened to the employee clinic that had funds allocated for it to be in place by end of 2023? Yet again another example of staff being told they have x number of dollars worth of benefits when in fact that benefit does not exist or is not applicable to certain (all in this case) employees. There should be plans or information made publicly available in regard to this and yet nothing has been sent out or an update provided. When is this to be expected?

What benefits are to be applicable to all employees in the upcoming year? This information is not easily available as certain programs were passed and allocated funding for apparently only a “trial basis”. Is paid parental leave still occurring? No information about this has been provided to staff or public for 2024. Additionally, where are the results of the salary study that was supposed to inform this upcoming years budget (voted on in 2023)? This information will already be behind, and the COLA is behind as it is not keeping pace with inflation or similar employers (see the County at 8.5% raise for 2024). Is any information going to be provided about how these things previously voted on by council are implemented, working, not working, etc.?

Can the city work with the County on getting a contact form or system similar to uReport? There is no way to contact the county on a regular basis, let alone easily, without creation of an account in their new government online system and submitting a property complaint form. This puts too much of a burden on citizens or visitors who have inquiries, questions, complaints, feedback, etc. It is very difficult as a Monroe county citizen to get the same level of accountability and transparency from the commissioners and other departments.

Can departments collaborate to inform a climate resiliency plan regarding tree canopy? Disadvantaged communities and areas on the heat map need to be addressed with priority and we need to find a way to incorporate this to private land. Can this become a council and administration priority? Thank you for consideration!

In regard to report #186454… can you assist in communicating that you’ve received citizen requests for this? Again, it’s very tough to get this to be a priority even as taxpayers and residents of the County.
