Overpass crossing west Third at the trail

Case Date:
8/7/2026

These two signs, where the trail crosses West Third, make no sense. Why is one sign telling pedestrians the sidewalk at College (presumably) is blocked and another one is telling them how to get to College? And if the sidewalk is blocked (as I believe it still is), why is there no sign telling people how to get to an accessible path, as required by the ADA? Please address this common problem. Thanks.

This on West Third facing east, approaching the overpass going up the trail. The sign does not leave enough space for people with disabilities to pass according to the ADA. I see this often with construction signs, which are quite common this summer. Please instruct your employees and contractors to comply with the ADA. Thanks.

It is so difficult to get into the doorway at the lower level entrance to Fountain Square on S Walnut St (the closest entrance to Brightside Cafe) in a wheelchair. The metal transition strip looks bent and doesn't span the full height of the step, so it's not fully wheelchair accessible. Very hard to enter without a push-to-open button in a wheelchair. Still very difficult even if someone holds the door for me, because of the height of the transition. Let me know if you'd like me to show Michael Shermis in-person. Thank you.

Steel plate over man-hole drain has been dislodged and is a hazard to pedestrians using that sidewalk. There are actually two steel plates in the same area. Too heavy for me to lift and fix.

Plants in the yard of 312 w Dodds are fully blocking the sidewalk, forcing pedestrians to step out into a very busy street with no shoulder. This stretch is also fully inaccessible to anyone using mobility aids due to the plants.

I am writing to report the severe noise disruptions from the IU Stadium that continued until nearly 2:00 AM. Even with our doors and windows completely shut and locked, the heavy, thumping bass and stadium drums were loud enough to vibrate homes across a 2-mile radius from the stadium. When residents call to report this, the response from city channels is a dismissive, "Well, you know there's a football game tonight." This classic town versus gown attitude suggests that year-round residents should just accept this disruption as the new normal.While I understand the economic value of football to our local commerce, the blame for this issue lies with the late-night television scheduling and a major shift in stadium audio technology. These high-powered subwoofer systems did not exist when many permanent residents bought their homes, started families, or moved to Bloomington. This is not the standard college town noise of the past; it is a new level of low-frequency disruption deep into the night that penetrates right through our walls.There is a clear double standard here. Local workers, parents, and neighbors who deal with sleep deprivation or stadium-induced migraines do not get a pass from their employers the next morning just because a television network wanted a primetime slot. I want to ask how powerless the city truly is in this situation. Is there still respect for the neighbors who keep Bloomington running year-round but have no affiliation with the university? I urge the city administration to enforce our local noise protections and work with the university to scale back the late-night bass.

In light of President Trump not being a surrender commie supporter. As I am ready the news Trump declares boarder a military base. Great idea. Will you stop acting like surrender commies and repeal your may 2010 surrender boycott of sb 1070?

1000 N Orris DR

Case Date:
7/23/2026

The property adjacent to me 922 North orris has a huge tree, that I have tried to get them to maintain for nearly 5 years. A week ago a woman that was at the property said there was a new property manager and she would have him call me. No reply. I am disabled and can no longer continue to trim this tree off of the adjoining sidewalk. The sidewalk goes over to the try North swimming pool. It runs between our properties. This tree is so overgrown it's branches get on my roof onto my property all the way down to the ground covering the sidewalk. If we did not constantly trim this you wouldn't be able to walk down the sidewalk to get to the pool or the school. I am so tired of trying to resolve this, I've told the people that cut the grass every week nearly for two years and nobody's done a damn thing. I'm hoping you can help and find out who needs to trim this back. I believe it's rented to disabled guy who's pretty much a recluse. Thank you
