This light was recently installed, and it has caused me to be unable to sleep in my own bedroom despite curtains. My back yard is almost entirely illuminated (see image). I believe this constitutes a light trespass as defined in Bloomington city ordinance section 20.04.090 section (4) and lacks proper shielding as outlined in section (5)(A).
new, pretty deep pothole at the edge of W 7th at Oak Street. It's pretty much impossible to miss this hole because of the traffic calming "roundabout" at that intersection.
Excessive growth blocking sidewalk on both sides of the street
The construction crew working on the house next door is throwing loose trash into our trash can, which I will have to dig out and put in a bag as all items in trash cans need to be bagged. These are the same individuals who moved our trash from from the street before it was picked up and blocked it with their car.
There Thea’s a bus sitting parked along the the west side of College 15th to 16th from approximately 720 to Atleast 730+ This cause a line of site for cars trying to out of 15th because the bus was just sitting. I did not get the bus number but people trying to get on to college could look north to see if the lane was clear to pull out.
I am 62 years old, and this time last year I was just getting back to work after 3 1/2 months rest healing from a broken ankle. When I moved in to 1200 W 12th St, I noticed the sign (photo #1). I even asked Bloomington Housing Authority about it. They said it would be okay to park in front of my apartment. I have been parking in front of my apartment since March 2024. No tickets, no problems. It made it very easy to get to my apartment - load or unload my car - and I could keep an eye on it while in my apartment. Today I get home from work (I work full time at IU as a custodian. Yes - I work FULL TIME and still need Section 8 to get a place to live) to see fresh paint denying me my usual parking spot. I had an ADA tag for a while, but it was temporary. It expired. The problem is: I can’t see my car now unless I get up and look through the one window that lets me see my car. If I have to park farther away, I won’t be able to see it at all, and I will have to walk farther and across the street to access my car. I am old, diabetic, autistic and cannot walk a far as I could before the broken ankle. After work, it is very common for my right ankle to be aching on top of the Diabetic Neuropthy I have in both feet in addition to my jangled nerves from interacting with people and handling emergencies. This neighborhood can get a bit sketchy sometimes - it helped my normally high anxiety level to be able to see my car. My anxiety is already high from people walking so close to my apartment and cutting through my yard - can’t do anything about that so I live with that anxiety. I don’t want to break the law, but this is so unfair! I already pay $828 a month for this tiny apartment - that is ONE WHOLE PAYCHECK. My rent is figured as 30% of my GROSS income. I pay quite a bit for my taxes and Insurance, and I have quite a few medical issues so I have to scramble sometimes to get bills paid and pay for all the drugs I have to take. I live paycheck to paycheck. I have to work so I have health Insurance. Even though I am 62, I can’t get Social Security if I want to live here because it would price me out of Section 8 and I would have to move (AGAIN - I just moved in here a year and a half ago). I can’t work less because i need Insurance from work until I reach 65 and can get Medicare (if it still exists by then). If I have to park further away, then my ankle will be that much more achy when I get home. I’m going to see if maybe I can qualify for a permanent ADA Tag, but even then the 4 HOUR LIMIT would kick me in the butt. That doesn’t even take into account bad weather days or having to walk farther with loads. Where I am currently parked in photo #7 would be a better ADA space. Usually no one parks there, and it is closer to the Boys and Girls Club. Please help me.
TRG Management owns the trailer park that I live in. I have had no pipes bust or leak at all even during the cold weather. My pipes are also insulated with heat tape. I have never once paid for my water being over $60 last month it was $50 and the property manager Jenny Bowles will not show me any proof or graphs of usage of water only attaches what the meter read. I used the same amount of water as I did last month my kitchen sink is currently getting remodeled. So I haven’t used that either. I just don’t think something is right about this and I would like it to be resolved.
We were charged over $300 under sanitation for "Large Item Pick up", however, were not responsible for any items that were allegedly picked up. I have tried to get in contact with the sanitation department for the past month with no avail. I would like to get this issue resolved so I am not responsible for the charges or the late fees that could potentially accrue. Please contact me via email as that is my preferred method of communication.
You guys extended these sidewalk areas and planted grass which needs to be cut.
The walk on W Kirkwood in front of the Hyatt Place hotel was not shoveled or treated throughout the last snow event. When I stopped in to enquire about this on Tuesday afternoon I was informed that it was a “city sidewalk” and the city’s responsibility.
