You are letting ANTIFA intimidate residence. Make them remove their mask then let them protest. Shame on you for letting this terrorist group intimidate your local market. That was awful the way they confronted that innocent Hoosier in his van with his children. You need to stop this group from intimidating anyone. What is wrong with you? Do you side with them. We are watching
You want green transportation but don't enforce homeowner sidewalk repair or overgrowth AT ALL. Check the reports and be proactive beyond.
Two houses from where this scooter was parked in the 700 block of S Eastside Drive, there lives a blind person. She already has made one fall after a collision with a 'parked' scooter. I thought the scooter companies were not going to accept payment until they had proof (a picture?) that the renter had parked the scooter in a responsible manner. So much for that!
This is a Parks issue but potentially a City-wide one. Does the City not have an advertising vetting policy in place? If so, can it please be reviewed? I was very disappointed to see a Lighthouse Christian Academy sign in the City's Twin Lakes facility earlier this month. This institution discriminates not only against LGBTQIA2 students (banning them) but goes even one step further and bans students with LGBTQIA2 parents. The Farmers Market situation is clearly a mess but the City's position has been not to eliminate the white supremacist booth due to it not practicing discrimination in the business sense with customers and the public. This is legally in the right. Lighthouse can pose no such defense. It outright discriminates and the City can and should have a policy that does not allow advertising from entities that discriminate against protected local classes. This is content neutral. Sexual orientation and gender identity for local Code are rightly on an equal plane with race, disability, and other categories. There is little doubt that the City would not be putting up large billboards from a local school that banned students of color for instance or white children with parents of color. This is not a contest but an illustration. A vetting policy needs developed and enforced that exemplifies the very basic values of no active local discrimination of advertisers. The people of Bloomington deserve better than being faced with such billboards in public arenas. Surely a city government is not forced to accept funding from hate groups. P.S. Please undergo a more comprehensive review City-wide of items as they pertain to sexual orientation and gender identity. I'm sure other groups could also benefit from a review (such as people of Asian origin) but sexual orientation and gender identity is one definite one. An HRC report card is a bragging point but does not seem to be seriously used as a tool for improvement. For instance, City Hall has no public gender neutral bathroom for those who may feel uncomfortable using the facilities available. Thanks for your good work, but let's do even better.
Thete appears to be a constant stream of reports of overflowing dumpsters and trash in alleys downtown. What is the problem here, people? Pick-ups too infrequent? The problem needs to be solved in a manner such that the trash doesn't build up like this. A city that touts itself as "green" shouldn't be allowing trash out to blow everywhere. If the dumpsters are the responsibility of the private businesses, the city shouldn't pass the buck. The city needs to put pressure on these businesses until this problem is solved. Overflowing dumpsters should be prevented not just cleaned up afterward.
Please forward this to Mayor Hamilton. Dear Mayor Hamilton, I would like to urge the city and the county to adopt a 1% for the arts for the new Convention Center. The arts are one of the strong attractions of Bloomington and Monroe County. Let's put that up front and on display at the Convention Center. Sincerely, Paul Smedberg
There seems to be a disabled Lime scooter lying flat at Willis and 17th St. (northeast on Willis) next to the small strip mall.
Do the new water meters finally mean we can be billed by the gallon as opposed to the present archaic system of thousands of gallons, which is exceptionally adverse to water conservation incentives as well as basic economic fairness. Please say yes. It's such an easy change to make. Even X for every hundred gallons is a vast improvement and perhaps easier to transition to.
