The fact that you guys as a city decided hey lets wait until all the thousands of kids are back in school to start doing construction on roads all around bloomington. You had all summer and you decide to do it now, ive been late to work twice and missed a class start because of the atrocious decision making of the city. I am a college student and could have told you that doing it over the summer would have been so much easier on the workers, and residents. Maybe you guys should hire smarter people.

Bird e-bikes are terrible. Solid rubber tires make for a nasty rough ride. No bell to alert nearby pedestrians or cyclists if needed. Frame is so tall that even on its lowest seat setting it’s barely possible to get on it. A smaller adult than I would not be able to ride this bike at all. Lime bikes were far better quality ride. Alas, I’m using my car much more frequently now that the city refused to find a common ground with Lime and Lime e-bikes are gone.

8:04pm, Friday, November 8, 2024: A Marshall Security vehicle came out of Switchyard Park on the west side along Rogers without stopping, turned south on Rogers in front of traffic, and had a single headlight and a single taillight and no turn signals used. This was a small vehicle that has a small truck bed to it they use for patrols. This is not the first time I have seen Marshall Security disregarding traffic laws in that vehicle. Can the City address this? They need to repair the burnt out headlight and taillight as it is illegal to operate a licensed motor vehicle on the streets without those.

What is the value of creating uReport incidents for scooters? I recently created Case #181916 and got three emails, the first to tell me the case was created and I should contact Bird directly. The second, to tell me that the case is closed and a third saying that Anonymous assigned this case to Anonymous and providing a link to the case. I also created 181882 over the weekend. Nothing has changed when I follow the link for the case. I have contacted Bird directly before but typically they then tell me that the case is resolved and I have to explain that the case was closed the instant I created and I was referred to them. And then we go round and round and nothing happens. Can we just an scooters?

I am again seeing announcements for new hires for items like safe and civil cities with ZERO mention of the significant LGBTQ community in this town. All deserve safe and civil cities, including LGBTQ residents. A community under intense threat at the highest levels in years. What is the City doing to specifically serve and protect queer community members? Who is the staff member assigned to have expertise and devoted time to this task? And bigger question, what is the City doing to prepare for the Trump administration taking power and attacking the LGBTQ community. What plans are being made? What is the City doing to pledge and realistically defend the rights and livelihood of queer people as politicians attempt to destroy such families and eradicate this group from existence? Don't be blindsided. This will be where queer people go for those who remain in Indiana, some without choice.

The impact of the recent construction projects on traffic patterns is hard to bear. Could we get some information about why these projects are happening now instead of the summer?

To whom it may concern Hello, I’m writing to express my concern regarding an incident that happen on 10/16/24. My vehicle had an electrical fire down town on 4th street in front of the India restaurant. I am a single mother of three daughters who I’m struggling to greatly to afford with the cost of food continuing to raise. I work at a CNA during the day while my children are in school but it doesn’t always provide enough. I was doing uber the night of so I could feed my family. My family is my responsibility and I take that very seriously. After the electrical fire, I had no way of moving the vehicle. The officer on scene gave me permission to leave the vehicle parked until I could get ahold of my insurance company. It was not in the road way, it wasn’t blocking traffic, the restaurant owner was not concerned about it being left there, he told me himself that I could park it in his parking space behind the restaurant. unfortunately it could not be moved without a tow truck. the vehicle was left in a parking place and the officer stated that adjustments could be made due to the Circumstances. The next morning I spoke with insurance and the vehicle was supposed to be picked up. I informed the parking enforcement department that it would be moved. Also explaining that it was not possible for me to pay for a tow at that time. I understand the inconvenience of the situation and I apologized over and over. The woman I spoke with got nasty with me several times and hung up on me twice while I was trying to explaining to her my situation and how limited I was but I was doing everything I could. I called the insurance company over and over explaining the importance of the vehicle being moved. The last phone call I got from the parking enforcement woman was the nastiest. She was extremely aggressive and was using her job tittle as a weapon. She told me after this call I will ticket the vehicle every hour until it’s moved and then proceeded to hang up on me yet again. After about the second call I realized the woman’s aggression was progressing so I recorded the last two phone calls for the purpose of bringing her behavior to the attention of anyone above her. The way that I was treated was uncalled for and more importantly it was cruel. To be ridiculed, threatened and quite frankly bullied should not be accepted and I get the feeling it’s not her first time. I will go as far as I need to if this situation is not handled, because there is no humanity in kicking someone while they are down. I not only was given the ticket but treated with so much disrespect. Her position gives her the power to bully the citizens of this community and someone needed to bring attention to it. She said her name was Jessica and she worked on 10/16/21.

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?

Not sure if folk were trying to be nice with a one-size fits approach but with new salary adjustments department heads like CFRD have very little grant/regulatory/technical needs compared to Planning and HAND for instance. And staff sizes such as Clerk and HR also should be a consideration.
