Has been sitting for over 3 months. Tags expired 3 years ago. Property is doing nothing, has been reported 4 times. Animals are breeding in it. Other residents have said it’s been sitting for a couple years now.
The former Blue Sky veterinarian building looks like an urban jungle. Can any clean up be done?
socks full of shit laying in alley for days. the pile is getting bigger
A couple cones would be nice at the first speed hump as you're heading eastbound on Miller. All the other new speed humps have two to five cones, but the first one you hit from the west (in front of the City of Bloomington Utilities offices) has no cones so there's no warning.
At 9:40pm on August 18, 2024, an MSI security vehicle (the small two seater with a short bed) ran the stop sign on Woodlawn heading north at Southdowns, right by Bryan Park where the multi-use path and park exits/entrances meet Southdowns and Sheridan. The MSI vehicle then made an erratic turn on Woodlawn without any turn signals, turning sharply to the west just north of Sheridan, and entering the park through the grass, then quickly driving along the walking path. MSI is not law enforcement. They were not driving in a law enforcement vehicle during an emergency. They have no right to disregard a stop sign when other traffic is around and when pedestrians and cyclists could be in the area. Failing to stop at a stop sign is a traffic infraction and MSI should be held to account for putting others at risk. The abrupt turn into the park was also dangerous. The City should be aware of the type of behavior the hired help is engaging in around town.
Traveling eastbound on 2nd Street, when preparing to turn right onto College, there is a "No Turn On Red" sign with a street light behind it. The light isn't shielded, and because of this, it's nearly impossible to read at night. Please see attached photo.
I am not sure if this is a parks issue or the street department. I was at the farmers market yesterday and there are several large holes in the parking lot. A friend that was with me from out of town actually tripped in one and fell down. They have white paint around them so maybe this already being addressed. Thanks!
City parks facilities should prioritize leisure above private enterprise. Please put a system in to reserve courts for private pay or ideally ban all together. Tired of Park Ridge East being used privately by private coaches. Thank you.
How does Bloomington determine the appropriate lifeguard-patron ratio for the city's public pools? How often is a responsible staff member actively evaluating safety needs during the course of the pool hours? (Seeking an actual response, as I notice that recent U-reports asking this question have been closed despite zero answers.) On August 10-11, there was an alarming disconnect between lifeguards and actual use of the facility. Despite a hot, sunny weekend with dozens of patrons in and around the main pool (including plenty of small children), there was only a single lifeguard on duty sitting on the ground level staff bench for the **entire main pool**. At least on Aug 17-18, the west end of the main pool was closed, reducing by half the active scan area for the single on duty lifeguard. It would be terrible to have a safety emergency at the city pools worsened by underestimating the need for lifeguards on duty.
Courts frequently full from people outside the neighborhood. Particularly paid coaches giving lessons. If someone wants to make money let them do it in a private court before taking all of the neighborhood courts for hours from local residents. Please change the policy. If already a policy please post it.
