There seems to be a blocked street at Country Club and Rogers. Also, there seems to be a blocked street at Rhorer and Walnut Street Pike. Also, there seems to be a blocked street at Grimes and Walnut. Also, there seems to be a blocked street at Country Club and Rockport. Also, Tapp is closed. Also, 2nd St. overpass is one lane. Also, 3rd St. overpass is one lane. Please advise. Thanks!
The public works department of this city is a disgrace. We were promised Grimes/Walnut would not be closed until the Country Club lane between Walnut and Rodgers was fixed. We were lied to. It's impossible to leave our homes and get anywhere in the city AS IT IS NOW. And yet, you are about to close more intersections on this side of town. It's pathetic. 1/4th of your town is stuck in traffic for 30 to 50 minutes longer ONE WAY. We literally had a discussion tonight about how we were going to get groceries and get to and from work anymore. It's almost unlivable here and it's going to get worse if you don't cancel this moronic construction projects until THE ONES ALREADY IN PROGRESS are complete. Take the money loss from your horrid planning, own up to your complete and utter failures, and WAIT until things are done before starting more disastrous work.
This intersection is on a hill and it's very difficult to see oncoming traffic from the left. I think this should be a three way stop sign because the speed of the traffic makes it hard to stop.
Drilling on South Walnut Street has been on-going since 6:30 AM on 06/25/2018. The drilling had stopped around 6:00 - 7:00 PM prior to this date. Now we find out from the Bloomington Police Department that the contractors have obtained a "Variance" to continue drilling non-stop through the night. This is Unacceptable! What good does it do to have noise ordinances if they are not enforced? This IS also a residential area! What happened to working 10 hour days 6 days a week? This is not just a noise issue. The drilling also shakes the foundations of the houses! Do the residents of South Walnut Street not have the right to a period of time to sleep?!!!! This is Wrong!
Thank you for the awesome community fireworks display downtown! It brought neighbors out onto our porches and sidewalks to witness the display over our Near Westside neighborhood. I love the idea of continuing the fireworks display downtown in future years. It makes it so much more of a community event instead of something that happens on the outskirts of town. Chapeau to those who came up with the idea.
Hello - I wanted to ask if the city could do a better job decorating for Christmas this year. We moved up from Florida last year and was very surprised that there was no Christmas tree in the city center, and meager decorations -- just some strings of white lights on the courthouse. It didn't feel festive or beautiful or special. It's important, maybe not for students, but for families, older people and also business owners, I would think, to have a festive, Christmas-y and beautiful downtown. Please, Bloomington, put up a big Christmas tree this year on or around the courthouse square, and have a special lighting ceremony, with Christmas and holiday music. And do Christmas decorations on the lamp posts on Kirkwood, and maybe string lights over the avenue (like in the photo attached here, of Clematis Street in West Palm Beach). It's these things that make a town really wonderful. Or not. Thank you, Margaret Menge
Scooter report- in ditch at Griffy causeway
100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions yet the City has decided local residents and their cars are the primary culprits in its parking garage denial, particularly those residents who may not have the luxuries of time, money, age, health, location, or ability to utilize other transportation modalities. This is what liberal privilege looks like, a total disconnect from the reality of working families.
When is Bloomington getting a Tesla SuperCharger? Seems way overdue to me.
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
