We need more indoor dog training and daycare businesses. As we keep increasing density, there is a lack of services. How can we make this happen? Can the city work to get more emergency veterinary services as well for our growing population? It seems pet watching services need an expanded area in which they’re allowed. They’re essential for functioning cities. We love our pets and want more care! Thanks for considering and hopefully working on this!
Sexton Wilbert vault company continuously violates the cities noise ordinance and I would like to file a formal complaint. I have lived in the neighborhood for over 35 years without complaint, however, S & W is getting increasingly getting louder with their semi-truck idling for over 2 hours every week (1 - 3:30 a.m.). Also, their access from the street needs to be looked at. It is very dangerous to the traffic traveling east/west on Allen street. The access is too steep for them to stop with their oversized equipment attached to their vehicles. There was an accident a few weeks ago because the truck could not stop and crashed into oncoming traffic. This accident destroyed my mailbox and damaged my yard. I would greatly appreciate if someone from the street department could investigate the access in and out of Sexton Wilbert Vault Company. It is very dangerous and needs to be addressed. Thanks, Mike Clendening
Sunday afternoons, even in the downtown area, should be a chance the peaceful enjoyment the premises of one's own abode. Today, however, the noise from the sidewalk musicians who are somehow sponsored by the record store on the east side of Walnut just south of Sixth Street, makes any peaceful enjoyment impossible. I have my windows shut, even though I should be able to have them open on a day as warm as this, and even though the windows are shut, the noise is quite intrusive. Does Bloomington not have a prohibition against this kind of use of the public right of way? Don't you need a permit, or can any business just say: Hey come play the drums and electric guitar out in front of my shop? More maybe they do have a permit. If they do, they should post it so everyone can see that it is allowed. I understand a certain amount of weird noises are part and parcel of downtown living. But this seems like an abuse of the downtown public sphere. Thanks for whatever you are able to do to help make downtown Bloomington actually livable.
Dave’s Hot Chicken blares music and PA announcements very loudly, audible more than half of a block away. You can’t carry on a conversation while passing the restaurant. This seems to be a violation of the city’s noise ordinance. Please enforce it. Thank you.
Can you have the city or someone hang the BEAD banners from the lamp posts in the 600-700 blocks of West Kirkwood again?
Hello! I live in the Mercury apartments, and across the street is a piano. Im not sure if this is a government funded project or from a private organization, but it seems that people play it at all hours of the night, and it can be heard clearly into my apartment. Lately it has become very disturbing when I’m trying to sleep. It sits outside Nourish Bar, and has also accrued a lot of trash. I can imagine my neighbors on this part of 6th street are also not happy with it. I was told it was a project from the elementary schoolers, so I thought the city may know who to contact on trying to get it removed or moved. Because it happens intermittently through the night, I do not feel comfortable filing a noise violation. Thank you for your help!
Are restaurants with parklets allowed to keep non customers off of their tables? Tap says the tables in the street, in the public right of way, are only for their customers. That does not seem right.
Citizen called to complain that neighbor is operating a business out of his home in a residential area. Neighbor has signs, increased traffic and has blocked the street with his trailers. Other residents are concerned and she wanted to know how to tell them to file a ureport.
Some neighbors on Buttonwood Lane in Spicewood II (a sign is placed on Sare Road) have a coffee, baked goods sale every Sunday in their driveway. This has been going on for over 6 months. Doesn’t the kitchen have to be licensed? A week or 2 seemed ok but this is going on forever. I think a percentage of revenue goes to charity. ??
Why have we had an empty big box store for years? Kmart. One of the biggest blights and we're letting a land speculator hold it or what? There's so much focus on other areas of the city it's neglectful to keep a giant empty metal warehouse by College Mall instead of putting the area to badly needed good use. Please step it up and put some attention to getting the area occupied and revitalized. Why are there all these meetings about the hospital that isn't even empty yet when we've had this massive empty structure for so long. Help please. Thank you.
