I just find it unacceptable that members of the city council can’t for some reason show up in person for a city council meeting. I just can’t wrap my head around in 2023 that we are still doing zoom? I don’t see this happening anywhere in other forms of government meetings. I would like to see the city end this policy. I wish I could go to work via zoom but like the majority of individuals, I have to show up in person.
City workers replacing sidewalks on south side of 1st Street between Ballantine and Jordan has started well before 7:00 a.m., estimiate 6:20 a.m. for a couple of days now, violating the city's own noise regulation. It is not intermittent, but rather a cement truck continually backing up.
County is getting 16 paid holidays and discussion of 8.5% COLA raise with starting salaries already at a higher wage than most comparable positions within the City, in addition to many roles working 8am-4pm. Will this continued deficit in pay and benefits be addressed in the upcoming budget decisions for City staff?
It would be nice if the city gave a little notice when utility contractors come through neighborhoods.
Can someone from the city comment on what private property owners can do with scooters abandoned, left, or staged on their property? Calls to the scooter companies to have these moved are not often met with a prompt response.
For the love of god, PLEASE clear all brush, trees, grasses, anything growing into the side path on the west side of Sare Rd and the side walk and side path on the east side of Sare Rd from Moores Pike south to East Rhoher Rd. Both sides need cleared and cut back. Someone came out and cut back ONE bush that was overgrown but the rest of the problems down the path were barely touched and continue to reduce the side path to half it's original width. Same just north of Rogers and Sare traffic circle, on east side of Sare. It's been like that for years with little to no response to ureports or work actually being completed. The stretch north of Rhoher on eastside of Sare needs mowed REGULARLY. It is also severely angled, has rough broken surface and is not safe for anyone using a wheelchair or electric runabout scooter. Please send someone out that can take care of our tax dollar community investments. Thank you.
At what point does the city of Bloomington try to address the homelessness issue that is making areas of Bloomington disgusting, unsafe and unusable. Money spent on parks and the b-line wasted because it’s just parking spots for shopping carts and users going through withdrawal. Pleasant neighborhoods now frequently dealing with derelict arguments. Feeling safe at night around most of Bloomington is quickly becoming a thing of the past. It’s very disheartening to see such a nice, fun town being dragged down due to the inability of those in charge to fix issues everyone can see and everyone is impacted by. Do better Bloomington.
Tickets in uReport assigned to new mayors office contact (Nicholas) need reassigned and addressed in a timely manner. Reports are being left not responded to.
Are the articles and news reports true that another sports/outdoors outfitter is going into the old marsh on east side and will be selling firearms? Are there not limitations on this commerce type in the city? If there isn’t, why aren’t legislators working on this. Yes we are in Indiana, but there are also ways to legislate at a local municipality level. Citizens would like to see progress on these major issues.
