Pothole repair crews do no heat preparation to existing potholes before filling them with cold patch. They also don't sufficiently pack down the patch. This results in an inadequate bond of cold patch to existing pavement, which leads to rapid failure of cold patch. Some potholes are being re-patched every month and continue to increase in size due to improper repair methods. It would be more effective and less costly to do the patch right the first time.

When is this city going to clean up all the passed out junkies littering our streets? I can't even shop in my own fucking city anymore. Last night I went downtown to eat dinner and I'm the span of 4 blocks I was harassed for change multiple times, someone threatened to steal my sunglasses, and a man was shitting in a trash can wiping his ass with his bare hands right outside town hall. Seriously when are you going to wake up and do your job. I've lived in major metro areas and have never seen anything close to this. People openly smoking crack, nodding off on heroin this is a fucking mess and someone is going to end up getting hurt or worse.

Please update your police officers on policies regarding insurance, warranted searched, and speed limit postings. I was pulled over yesterday by a police officer who said I was tailgating yet speeding, and when I explained I was tailgating because I had to slam on my brakes since he pulled out into the lane. I believed he was making an emergency maneuver, however was just trying to get in traffic. He pulled me over, said he would cite me if I did not have my insurance, which I did, but it is also a law that I have 24 hours to provide that proof. It is also a law that if he has no reason to search my trunk, he cannot. However, he asked and I, politely, said yes. However, this was not necessary as there was no probable cause to search. Luckily my father is IMPD and was in direct contact with his supervisor. But I would like to make the city aware of this incident, as I felt very uncomfortable. Especially when said officer kept saying things were expired, then changing his mind when I said they were not. He was very unprofessional, and as someone who has been around law enforcement for 21 years, exhibited very concerning behavior. Thank you.

The response provided for Case# 201024 (https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=201024) was insufficient and dismissive ("Cases are left open until they comply. A large number of tickets were issued, however, tickets are tracked in a separate system from Ureport."). It is not true that all the "Sidewalk Snow Removal" complaints were followed up with tickets. Rather, they were *all* updated soon after 8am on Wed 26 Feb with various comments such as, "Snow has melted", "No longer valid", etc. There is no reason to lie - better to just ignore requests from residents and go back to whatever it is you do all day long. Eventually, we will get the message that submissions to UReport are a waste of time and we will stop bothering your office with such things.

The trash pickup truck just went by my street, picking up trash notmally. But the truck was playing loud music filled with obscenities and violent language. My young kids enjoy watching the trash pickup - please instruct trash pickup personnel to stop blasting inappropriate music to everyone on my street right away. Thanks, Daniel Cueto

I had a very negative interaction with a Customer Service Representative named Jordan from the City of Bloomington Utilities on Friday, March 28, 2025 at 3:30pm. The employee was incredibly rude and very dismissive.

The city council phone number listed on bloomington.in.gov (812-349-3409) is completely unreachable. Any time I call I get immediately disconnected, with a busy signal, and no option to leave a voicemail. I hope this is a simple oversight. The page for the common council literally says that the council is supposed to be a link between the citizens of Bloomington and their government. I have tried emailing my councilperson and not gotten a response there either. I was told by Mayor Thomson's husband when he came canvassing at my house before the election that she wanted to make it easier for residents to communicate with their government. This seems like an easy place to start.
