Hello, here we go again with another violation from the grandson of property owner Carl James. This beauty of a vehicle (what’s left of it) was unloaded from a car trailer this past Sunday night (12/21). Someone let the car idle very loudly for about 15-20 minutes, while it emitted an ear splitting level of noise. I was in my kitchen, located in the middle of the house on the first floor of my home and thought someone may have had an accident. I turned out the kitchen light and peeked from behind my dining room curtain to see what the source of the noise was. I saw two sets of headlights. I was relieved it was not an accident and returned to getting my dinner. Then the noise got really loud as the vehicle was coming past my kitchen window down Fairview alley. The car then rounded the corner onto a gravel and dirt path behind the houses on W. 7th Street. It came within one foot of my next door neighbor’s wooden privacy fence. I can see how close the wrecker came to hitting the fence due to the trail of mud left behind. I knew exactly where the car was going to end up and I was correct. The attached photo was taken the following day. This family has 32 City of Bloomington violations reported on their property, dating back to 1970. They obviously don’t follow rules or have any respect for the neighbors living in close proximity to their house. Owner Carl James is in deteriorating health and feels since he owns the house, his spawn can do whatever the **** they want. I’m planning to move to Urbana, Illinois in the spring of 2026. The James family is never going to change their ways, so I’m leaving Bloomington. I thought this was my forever home, but at the age of 64 I will be moving again. This is the outcome when people “flip the bird” at rules and personal responsibility.

The construction site flood lights are left on all night, pointed into the houses. It is causing it to look like daytime at night time. Is there anything that can be done about it? No one is present working on the site until 6 am, but these lights are blinding.

Since the crosswalks have been placed, with the school sign looking very similar from behind when heading South, it gives the impression there is a stop sign. I have been here for a year and watched 3 car accidents. The company, who is my landlord, has been there for 35+ years and said since the crosswalks, there have been 3 accidents and several close calls. I am a social worker, who works with kids. I don’t know why there is one 4 way at the sign, but not at the other end, on 8th street, that is within school/church grounds. Please bring attention to this urgently, I have a feeling something bad will happen to a child if something isn’t done here and will be saving this documentation for myself, so if something does happen, I am not liable and this is all screenshot, so you are aware and this could be held liable in court proceedings if nothing is done.

The new bicycle storage cubes are not benefiting residents and are creating two significant problems: Immediate Safety Hazard: The cubes are an attractive nuisance and severe fall risk to children. Preschoolers have been observed climbing and jumping on the units. This confirms the greater community need is a safe play area, not this storage solution. Unauthorized Misuse: The units are already being used as personal storage by non-residents (unhoused), leading to increased and unwelcome traffic into the residential courtyard. The project failed to consult residents on community needs. I request immediate action to address the safety hazard and restrict unauthorized access to these units.
