I thought the Bloomington police handled themselves well Saturday at the market. They were put in a bad position needing to enforce the parks department decision to trespass a protester. The officers were calm, courteous, and professional throughout despite being yelled at and called names. Thanks for keeping us safe and civil as best you can given the circumstances. I'm sorry people are taking out frustrations on you.
We do not understand why HAND has not responded to any “Snow on Sidewalk” reports this week. All 50 reports from this week are currently “open”. Names associated with some of them are Rob Council, Jo Stong, and Chastina Hayes. Are they all sick this week? Or is HAND just waiting until the weather warms up? Why do you even have an option to report snow on sidewalks if you do not really care to enforce that item in the Code. It seems that HAND should have a similar responsibility to enforce. Can HAND be fined if they fail to do so? Maybe we need a Bloomington version of DOGE to shake things up a bit…
The response provided for Case# 201024 (https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=201024) was insufficient and dismissive ("Cases are left open until they comply. A large number of tickets were issued, however, tickets are tracked in a separate system from Ureport."). It is not true that all the "Sidewalk Snow Removal" complaints were followed up with tickets. Rather, they were *all* updated soon after 8am on Wed 26 Feb with various comments such as, "Snow has melted", "No longer valid", etc. There is no reason to lie - better to just ignore requests from residents and go back to whatever it is you do all day long. Eventually, we will get the message that submissions to UReport are a waste of time and we will stop bothering your office with such things.
Re: Case #165561 Some debris from the accident remains near the RR underpass. Trash and weeds are still on Adams, and on Fountain, and on 8th Streets. Streets near the university at least get swept. Can the City seal the streets, so the weeds won't grow?

Skunk smell. landlord was notified same day
Saw another outdoor beer pong party yesterday evening. Students absolutely know better; it is not ignorance. And may result in death. Please consider citations or stronger action, but it is good to know IU Student Conduct may get involved. Thanks for all you do. Other than staying at home, if there is a way for citizens to help, let us know!
Mister Mayor, thank you for the commitment to now have city workers out and about wear masks. It was overdue and appreciated. But how about those still working in an office? Workers are still going to meetings in the same room without masks and it's uncomfortable to watch online and I'm sure even more uncomfortable in person for those present. Have all been issued a mask to wear so this does not happen?
The Staff Directory on the city website does not work. I know there is a Danna Workman somewhere, but the search option cannot find her. Not can it find anyone who I know works for the city. Can you check out this issue? Specifically I am looking for the email address of Rhea Carter, Kenneth Lifford (I have seen different spellings of his name) and Raye Ann Cox. An answer from them in reaction to a UReport case I filed is not so helpful, because I cannot answer them back. Thanks!
The situation along the B-Line trail around the Grimes bridge is out of control. Tents have been setup along the side of the B-Line just north of the bridge. While riding through this area earlier this morning with my 11 year old, we had an individual come out of one these tents and start yelling at us. This does not feel like a safe situation for anyone.
