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.

For Council & Mayor Offices: The whole near west side within city limits that leads to what everyone considers the actual west side of Bloomington (whether in city limits or not) is being very poorly zoned and utterly bad development. The city never prioritizes parks or other greenway features - or even just simple street trees and better vegetation requirements. All the businesses over here continue to get gigantic parking lots and the less popular zoning cases (i.e. rehabilitation centers) are pushed to the west side. Where are these items on the east side of town? Or north? This is inequitable zoning and use of resources focused only to east side and downtown residents. We want to see better.

The trash pickup truck just went by my street, picking up trash notmally. But the truck was playing loud music filled with obscenities and violent language. My young kids enjoy watching the trash pickup - please instruct trash pickup personnel to stop blasting inappropriate music to everyone on my street right away. Thanks, Daniel Cueto

Hi, My name is Kevin Lettelleir. I operate a photography business in town and we heavily rely on the internet for just about everything. Over the past 6 months, I have read stories about other towns who have taken action and implemented fiber internet systems. As a small business owner in this town, it's very disheartening that the only internet providers available to us are Comcast and AT&T. Not only do these companies charge an excessive amount for extremely low internet speeds, but they also do not offer a Symmetrical connection. So while it says on paper that we are paying for a 10 MB/s internet connection, we are in fact paying for a 10 MB/s download speed and a 1 MB/s upload speed. This makes it hard to upload even the most basic things like large files or a few pictures. Uploading a photo gallery takes hours and cripples our connection. As a lifelong resident of Bloomington, I was hopeful that we would be looking to push for affordable fiber like other progressive cities including Chattanooga, TN. I was delighted to find that Bloomington had been working with a Canadian company to achieve this goal, even though the deal fell through. What really disappoints me, and what I think everyone should be upset about, is the fact that Bloomington appears to have stopped pushing. I can't find any new information about a push for fiber connectivity. It's like we have given up on trying to make this happen. We could be the first city in Indiana to pave the way in Fiber connectivity and reap the benefits such a system would provide. I know there great challenges in this, but it needs to be done. Fiber connectivity will be the future. Private companies will not provide this to EVERY Bloomington citizen at a reasonable price, but the City can.

Snow Plow issue last week. My street, Cedarwood Drive, gets one pass with the snow plow down the middle of the street. It is a two lane street. This pushes all of the snow in front of my sidewalks, street, driveway and mailbox. This makes it impossible for me to move all of that snow to use my area for parking on my street in front of my house, impossible to access my mailbox by me or the mailman and impossible for me to place my garbage cans in front of my house for pick up. A few years ago, the plows would come both ways and do a better job. These past few years they are doing a very poor job. We did have a lot of snow last week, but since then it has been clear. I can see why they needed to do one quick pass initially, but they should have time to make a second pass and clean up the mess they made. I intentionally did not have any cars parked in front of my house for the reason to keep it clear for the snow removal plows. There is no reason they needed to leave five feet of snow on the street in front of my house.

I submitted this report earlier to the Website group, #171681, but it seems like he thought I was asking about his department. I submitted a uReport recently and was looking at the other open issues and there are 513 open issues with almost 200 of them over a year old. I'm just curious if these old issues ever get reviewed and/or closed?

City seems to be deleting and ignoring requests/complaints made through this forum. Yesterday I came home to find one of my trees had been cut down by the city. It is a tree I purchased and planted 10 years ago. With no prior notice, or any explanation, it was cut down yesterday. I complained on this forum last night, ticket #165085 and it was assigned to Charles Brandt. I checked status this morning and the ticket seems to have disappeared. I can find no record of it. I also did not receive a response of any kind. Charles Brandt did not address my issue, respond to my issue, or try to resolve my issue. City response to it's voting citizens, who the city works for, needs to be addressed. What happened to my original complaint?
