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.

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!

Kmart has been empty for years now and is looking worse and worse. This area needs redeveloped badly. Can the city please get involved to do something with this old big box store. Soon!

Follow up on #167661: I got this email "Sean Starowitz contacted Sean Starowitz I received your Ureport. Yes, we are waiting on the weather to warm up to finish the Traffic Boxes. This tends to be a learning curve for new artists and some were not able to get started (or did) before the weather turned. We have a few finished - 2nd and College and Kirkwood and Adams. The other four are in the works. " The box at 2nd and College is the one I asked about. It is NOT finished. One wide sign is painted; there is another wide side side and the two narrow sides left to prime and paint. All previous boxes have all 4 sides (and maybe the top) painted. This new box is bigger, but that's no reason to scale down. Thanks.
