A tree located in the Davis St. right of way just blew down into the south end of our front yard. I write to request that the city remove the portion of the tree (c. 20+ ft.) that lies on our private property. Thank you, Eric Sandweiss
Illegal signage on courthouse property
My neighbor's tree hangs over the street where I park my car. I do not have a driveway and my only option is to park on the street. This house is empty and has been for a long time. The tree has limbs that are dead and falling and breaking and I'm worried they will fall on my car. I don't know who to contact to make them take care of this. The last time we had that super strong wind I wasn't home luckily but a huge limb fell down into the street from that tree you can see where it broke off from. The limbs that hangs over my car needs to be cut down.
I did not know where else to put this but can we feminine hygiene products in the the restrooms at City Hall.
For the last several weeks this hold in the ground has been open, with an abandoned shovel and hazard tape surrounding it. I don't think this is the responsibility of the homeowner, because this was left this way by the work crew that was installing fiber optic cable. It is on the block just south of the intersection with Atwater.

new late night uber isn't the same as a bus. is scarier and if you are iu student or city employee it's no longer free
I boarded your bus #1372 at about 7:22 AM heading East on the #3 route this morning, February 16, 2024. I noticed the strong presence of diesel exhaust fumes on the bus & notified the driver. He informed me that that was just the way it is. I told him that I ood not think that we passengers are supposed to be breathing exhaust fumes. He said that it is a normal part of the regenerative process. I explained to him that we are not supposed to be breathing in exhaust fumes. I asked him if he should radio the issue in to dispatch. He explained that there was nothing that he could do about it, that it was a normal part of the regenerative process. When I arrived home & called dispatch, I was told the same thing. Tehn when I was still concerned that this was not supposed to be happening, she passed me onto her boss. I then was also connected to a man in dispatch. He too told me that it was a normal part of the regenerative process. I then asked him, so, you are supposed to be breathing in exhaust fumes while on the bus? Only then did he say that he would have maintenance take a look at it. However, I have heard this before & they have in the past disregarded this concern & let the bus run with exhaust fumes. I do not beleive that we tax-paying citizens should have to put up with busses gassing us like we are in a WWII Natzi Contentration camp getting gassed becouse our lives do not matter. There is never an excuse to expose a passengers to this and in fact, upon being notified by a passenger, the driver should have to pull the bus over, empty the bus of passengers to prevent carbon monoxide poisening & have us wait for a bus replacement or for the issue to get fixed, before reboarding a bus. I have sent a letter to the EPA about this going on for 20-years as I can recall & treating pasengers this way, as though we should not have an issue with disel-exhaust fumes being inhaled into out lungs while riding as a passenger.
I regret having to reach out to you regarding this bus #1372. I boarded this bus on the East route of Route 3 this morning at approximately 7:22 AM on February 19, 2024. I was informed by Mike Clark of Bloomington Transportation who is the operating manager, that the heater was working on that previous checked bus. Yet the heater is either not on, broken or the driver does not knbow how or desire to turn on the heater for the passenger. Furhter more, she informed me that the door heater was on, but that they do not work on some of the buses, as was the case on this bus this morning. There is no need to make passengers suffer like this. The bus was NOT cold because of opening & closing the doors as MIke Clark previously suggested when I wrote to him regarding this bus. The heat was simply not coming out of the overhead vents, there was only cold at the vents & the poles for holding onto were cold as well, indicating it had not been on for some time. The dispatch operator's boss informed me begrudgingly that the bus was in fact bus #1372. Since the dispatch operator could not be bothered to assist the driver in operating the heater that was alleged to be operating properly according to Mike Clark, I am forced to issue this complaint to the you the City of Bloomington government for heat on the buses in the Winter to be turned on & operating properly for the buses that do not have a heating system functioning or for the bus drivers who feel that we do not need the heat in the Winter. Sincerely, Timothy MacKLenzie
Not sure if this is the right department, but wanted to ask a question about priorities related to sidewalks and streets. I live on Goldin Ct on the east side. Last spring and now this spring, the city is ripping up the sidewalks and repaving them. Hard to argue with that need, but I walk them daily. In my estimation, they were not too bad at all. They do get travel, but not nearly as much as the streets. Goldin Drive and Goldin court are horrible and have been for the last two years. Pot holes, cracks, uneven road. I'm just confused as to why the there has been a two year priority on the SIDEWALKS, rather than the streets which are well traveled by cars and trucks. I'm going to attempt to attach some photos of my street to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. How do these funds get allocated and do you know when the STREET may get some attention?
