How did the city allow hotel-type accommodations in R2 zoning on East Chris Ln.? Six cars are being parked nightly on a dead-end street, some new and some recurring. This is restricting access to mail delivery and sanitation services, and it will cause problems for snow removal. How is this kind of property usage being allowed to disrupt the neighborhood?
Hello, my complaint is about the Monroe County Court. Unfortunately there are other issues outside the statute of limitation because of how long it's been, including but not limited to discrimination. The current issue is that the Child Support Prosecutor as well as the child support office has set up a system utilizing their friendship with the judge in order to benefit themselves financially as well as career wise. They have and continue to blatantly violate people's rights to a fair and unbiased trial as well as the due process of law unfortunately, without any concern whatsoever to their clients/ the people and children of Monroe County. I was personally discriminated against by a judge who ruled a fake blatantly discriminatory ruling that didn't exist in law... My ex-wife continues to accuse them of stealing the child support payments over the last 6 years and they refuse to investigate themselves, simply focused on maintaining their child support base (they love mentioning how they don't care what are the kids are getting the money or not because I'm receiving credit for my payments.... "And that it's not my concern whether they get the money or not...". They only care about the credit they get for the child support in order to gain Federal funding and obtain bonuses, further investigation shows they're all friends on social media, exacerbating the theory that they are utilizing their position of power with the sole intent of benefiting themselves, and if my ex-wife is Right possibly even embezzling child support funds. I am currently obtaining even more evidence and transcripts that prove everything I've stated.
Please allow all citizens to stay up to date by using an open to all system without the need to sign up to social media. What is posted on social media could be posted on a single city website page, no? Facebook is exclusionary, does not allow all citizens to see all that you post. If you want to reach people through facebook and others great but the information should be available to all with out jumping through those hoops.
Homeless people are again living in People’s Park. They’re using drugs, fighting, leaving trash everywhere, screaming and yelling, urinating and defecating and have taken over most of the benches and tables. It also appears that they are sleeping there overnight. We bought ice cream across the street and expected to have a nice Sunday afternoon in the park for thirty minutes or so… we tried sitting on the steps of a business on the opposite side of Dunn Street but the shrubbery nearby was probably soaked in urine based on the stench. We simply left at that point….. No other Indiana city of the same size and population has a homeless population of 1 % of that of Bloomington and that is directly attributable to the fact that Bloomington attracts these people by virtue of feeding them and enabling them unlike anywhere else in Indiana. I’ve lived in and near Bloomington since 1974 and this has simply gotten totally out of hand.
Today I was almost killed by a motorist on the 7th St. bike trail. There needs to be signage for the motorists. Too many out of town drivers on a regular basis to think it can be a learned infrastructure!
N Smith and Morningside remains dangerous with many not stopping on N Smith. Yes per Planning signs may be "visible" per the book but doesn't mean people expect and abide by them there - flashers or other item especially to protect bikers crossing at Greenway needed. Though State intersection, N. Smith and 10th also remains dangerous for turns during heavy traffic.
Blocked Street requests go to Paul Kehrberg, and nothing seems to happen after that. There is a considerable back log here: https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets?query=;enteredDate%5Bstart%5D=;enteredDate%5Bend%5D=;fields%5BenteredDate%5D=on;fields%5Bcategory_id%5D=on;fields%5Bdepartment_id%5D=on;fields%5Bstatus%5D=on;fields%5Blocation%5D=on;fields%5Bdescription%5D=on;category_id=17
Thank you for keeping our city and government safe! COVID protocols enacting better safety in the city hall building was a great thing to come out of a hard pandemic. Us constituents appreciate having moved many functions to entirely online and reducing the requirement of having to come downtown to simply pay or drop a paper of. In light of the many many tragedies that keep occurring in public spaces, we feel safer having fewer members of the public be able to freely explore the showers space. An appointment or meeting to get assistance is just such a better alternative than no safety. Thanks for modernizing and accepting the remote and online functions, like the rest of the world!
In regard to the additional % food tax downtown, the admin finally announced they’re going to attempt to do the project but no end in site for the tax. Again, I have heard, read, and seen other complaints that citizens are tired of this tax. In a place that is not NY or Chicago but has the cost of living as such with no pay scale in town keeping individuals on pace with inflation, this tax is impacting locals the most. How do you expect any citizens or employees in this town to afford supporting local business when they cannot afford to eat there? What is the timeline for this tax to expire and officially end? Indiana already had a high enough sales tax compared to other states as it is. Many are seriously concerned with how little care this administration has with cost of living and income differences in this town and county (since many cannot/intentionally do not live within city limits)
Please explain to me why after tons of studies and information at hand globally, this government still does not match the county in work hours. You are supposed to be a major employer, government, and body of change and you still require archaic schedules and work processes. I hope your administration begins to match the county in pay if you’re gonna keep working longer hours. No one in this town can afford to live and you make them work their whole lives away. Not to mention that your “living wage” does not match cost of living. Moving to this area was very eye opening as this administration over the past years has shown they’re not going to progress with modern times, even after tragedies, a pandemic, and rising vivid cases internally. Do better us citizens are expecting council to get it in gear and make this city a key employer.
