I believe the Pierogi Place is operating a food truck without a license. There are no license plates (or registration) on the food truck which are required to get a license, and they are parking the truck in Gentry Estates neighborhood and dumping their gray water tank.
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.
12:05 pm 9/14/2025 A scooter was left on the sidewalk on northeast corner of Washington and sixth blocking the curb cut for both 6th and Washington.
Scooter entirely blocking the sidewalk. There’s got to be a way to penalize either of the company or the user. There’s no accountability and that’s a problem.
In late night hours confirmed on weekends we are seeing hot dog carts setting up in the middle of Kirkwood which is a violation of food truck and mobile vendor codes.

HVAC equipment on the north side of showers is deafeningly screechy. it seem like this problem got fixed recently, but has started again.

Blocked stop sign- I have posted this before, when a food truck parks on Kirkwood in front of the library near Lincoln (north side of the street) the stop sign for west bound traffic is obscured. In the 5 minutes I have been watching, 4 cars have completely run the stop sign. If the sign was in the small planter bed closest to the street or mounted on the same pole as the street sign, this might be avoided. Or at a minimum post no parking sign for tall vehicles. Thanks!
One lime bike was left on the sidewalk, blocking the accessibility ramp for wheelchair sidewalk access. The scooter has been there for two days.
