Quite a few people seem to be living under the bridge in tents, spilling out onto the adjacent sidewalk and blocking it. There are also tents behind the closed car wash near the downtown post office. I hope we find better homes for these individuals.
I understand hands being tied with the homeless population but I find it very unnerving and scary that the tent campers next to transit are standing at the fence of the parking lot and peeing while the employees of transit are present and across the street where there is a park which could have children present…..I’m so upset that this is allowed to continue and I can’t walk into the office without being exposed to some random man
The city uses facebook to announce news that it does not post on its website e.g. letter of intent with Meridian. I don't have a facebook account. Why is the city of Bloomington (indirectly) subsidizing and promoting Facebook by putting information on Facebook that it does not provide on it public website.
Very confused as to why when I have stopped in at City Hall past few days/weeks that I am being assisted by people I recognize from running different departments and assisting at other city public events. Do you not have dedicated receptionists - they clearly (since us active citizens attend city events) have a specific job in another area? Seems like a waste of resources when there are lots of complaints/requests on here that us citizens have filled out asking for help with rentals, problems with buildings, or even a complaint straight to the mayors office. Do you not have enough staff to run this city? Is this why our concerns aren’t being addressed?
This has been the view from my office the past two days. Scooters scattered everywhere inhibiting pedestrians and a complete eyesore to Btown.
Quit purging the location history of the complaints for seminary park. It’s obvious the city is doing so to limit what the public can see for various political/legal reasons. Someone needs to find out who is responsible purging these reports and that person needs held accountable. This cities agenda is so one sided boardering being illegal. Your “public” meetings requiring voices and votes (parks and recreation) are only promoted and people made aware through very liberal means/programs. I’m sure someone will just delete this post almost immediately but I hope my voice gets heard to as many as possible until then.
Hey its Zach with the Bloomington garages and our office in Morton street garage the light fixture is not correctly working and the lights just flicker now and never stay on.
This Devta in the Mayor's office - testing to see who this issue goes to first when a user selects the "miscellaneous" category and the "other" department. Assume this is an issue for someone in ESD and re-assign to that department. Please do this within the Ureport system so I can see the thread of assignments. Many Thanks!
there seeems to be a strong anti-asian sediment within bloomington and i have felt racially discriminated against by having services denied or prolonged due to purposeful errors. I have heard social workers make comments such as "I hoped he'd leave "and tell others seeking services not to talk with me and ignore him. I came here after completing residential rehab at hickory treatment in linton. At centerstone after waiting for insurance approval, which was granted, I was told they felt I only need peer support- not the outpatient treatment that's always a follow up to inpatient and housing etc along side. I went to shalom where i was already on the national permanent supportive housing list for at list a year in Indiana but originally qualified do to homelessness in Kentucky. I also needed Photo i.d- cost of $11.50- without which i can do nothing. This was in january with it taking 3 weeks(notified them of return twice do to incomplete paperwork and then incorrect amount) for the check to be cut. On second week now waiting for check. As stated earlier i was already approved for housing on national list and been on local list for 3 months. I know people start fresh and already been housed and people lose their housing and get re-housed while I still at wheeler mission.This was at shalom center and I filed a complaint with the attorney general on the issued with my I.D At wheeler i get kinding blowed off. I went the food stamp office to get aid but my case worker there didnt send the fax correctly so my case was closed. Meanwhile I know that theres mostly donated so the food may switched up during serving but definately have gotten smaller portions and food that been grossly overcooked.As the only asian in this situation i have to say its definately discrimatory action at all three place-all verifiable. I really want to rally against these actions and my treatment- as homeless and an individual felt it would go unheard- Come to find out at IU there a group of medical students called MAPS i believe that are mostly asian and have felt discrimation in bloomington also. I only feel it fair to notify you as you may not even be aware and give you the oppertunity to correct the situation. I pray the you can react in a timely manner and contact me shortly with solutions on this matter. James Hale 812-671-8665
Just a few things that the city seems to be ignoring: why is there still a sign at Building Trades Park pointing to the now non-existent emergency department on Second Street? Why do Transit buses still post notices in August informing passengers that Sunday rides will be free in the spring of 2023? Why does transit have a display case downtown with the heading “Memories” that contains not traditional memories but legal notices? And why does the mayor still include a link for donations to his mayoral campaign in his monthly Let’s Keep in Touch emails?
