Street Lights
512-598 East 8th Street
- Case Date:
- 9/24/2015
Eighth Street is extremely poorly lit. From Walnut all the way to Fess there are almost no street lights and its extremely dangerous. I feel unsafe walking home from the IU campus at night, or even walking home from a restaurant in the evening. The lack of street lights in this area is simply ridiculous. The city of Bloomington has an obligation to make sure its citizens are safe and it is neglecting to do so. The area that is the subject of this complaint is the exact same street in which Hannah Wilson was abducted and murdered, and within the last month the exact same street has been the location of an armed robbery. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that something must be done to make this area safer. The city has a responsibility to do everything within its power to protect its citizens, and adding a few streetlights hardly seems like an impossible task.

Unsafe Buildings
452-498 West Country Club Drive
- Case Date:
- 9/15/2015
I am old enough to remember that the building on the southwest corner of the S Rogers and Country Club Road intersection used to be a real business and they kept their property clean and safe. Now the property appears abandoned and is a hazard to the people of Bloomington. The lot vegetation is out of control. The building should be designated condemned by the city. It is covered with graffiti and could become a place where a person on the B-line to the east could be abducted and assaulted under cover. What can be done about this horrific eyesore in the midst of all the re-development and revitalization in the area?

Street Lights
300-336 South Henderson Street
- Case Date:
- 9/14/2015
The light outside of 314 S. Henderson St. has been out for about a week, which makes it quite difficult to drive down the side street and to walk there without worrying about running into other people and cars. Is it possible that that light might be replaced soon? Thank you in advance for your response.
