Request for Zoning and Code Compliance Review – @tinygaragebloom Pop-Up : I am writing to request that the city monitor and review the operations of a recurring pop-up music venue publicized via Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/tinygaragebloom/.The venue operates out of a residential neighborhood, hosts public live music events, and charges an entry fee. This raises several municipal and state compliance concerns that I would like the city to address proactively with the operators: Zoning Use: The operation of a commercial, ticketed entertainment venue appears to conflict with residential zoning designations and the strict limitations placed on Home Occupations under the Bloomington UDO. State Fire Safety: Under Indiana Code § 22-14-3, public entertainment events that charge admission require a state Amusement and Entertainment Permit, which generally cannot be issued for Class 2 residential structures due to life-safety codes. Neighborhood Impacts: Recurring assemblies of this scale present consistent risks regarding the 24/7 noise ordinance (BMC Chapter 14.09) and residential occupancy limits. Please consider investigating this location and working constructively with the venue operators to guide them toward compliant business practices, or to help them transition their events to properly zoned commercial spaces.

Someone needs to check on the construction crew working Rogers Street in the Patterson area. They are blocking the sidewalk with their materials on the east side near the warehouse. One of the contractors unexpectedly pulled his truck out onto the street to block a vehicle and then pulled it out aggressively again almost causing an accident. When confronted about this being unsafe he said “I can do whatever I want“.

Does the fountain as City Hall Plaza ever flow? I took those photos Monday evening. The drinking fountain that I reported last month hasn't been fixed yet. Related?

Furious that the city has decided to share my personal information with a third-party private for-profit company for waterline insurance. Now I’m in another database that will eventually be bought/sold/hacked and I’ll be receiving spam paper mailings for 10 years. I did not authorize or ask for this. YOU need to have an easy way for residents to completely opt out of this garbage. You had no right to do this.

Same issues as previous complaints in 214205 and 214018. Bline has become out of control at all hours, but especially at night. The issues at City Hall have just moved 50yds south along Bline as in public camping, open drug use, alcohol use vandalism, constant littering, defecating on sidewalks, against buildings, creating a votile, unsanitary environment, harassment of people using Bline etc. While not sure the answer this is completely unacceptable. The security drives by and does nothing. This needs attention as Bline is becoming out of control and this area sadly is the new spot where problems are the same as previously mentioned City Hall. Same cast of characters and would be nice if something could be done. Not the Bloomington anyone wants especially those of us who live downtown and businesses downtown or users of the Bline…..

Near the tennis courts in the grass: another large junction box with exposed electrical contacts. AT&T: get your act together!

Make Bloomington Beautiful Again. Another AT&T junction box in sad shape: when you are waiting at the traffic light at the corner of W Third and Patterson, heading towards the cemetery, and you look to your left (Wheeler Mission direction) you will see this box in the gras. It is across from the big The Quarters sign.

What can the city do to reduce or stop all of the extremely loud trucks and cars especially the ones that sound like gunshots and the ones you can hear over a mile away mufflers?
