For everyone's sake, please move the vagrants out of People's Park, at least for Homecoming. They smell and yell at passersby making the park unpleasant and unusable. Please don't be PC - that is what is perpetuating the issue. Those people continue to live the way they do because the City lets them.
Numerous vehicles parked daily, always 2 up to 6 or more, on the right side of East Deckard Drive constricting entryway to Eastern Heights off of East 10th/ 45. This entryway is curved and has a deep drainage ditch on the left side, which is directly opposite of these cars. A car exiting has a very fine line of trying to get over to let other entering traffic pass. There are no sidewalks throughout Eastern Heights, thus pedestrians (many children walking to school), bicyclists, etc.,are forced to walk on opposite side of parked vehicles (many of which are never moved for weeks) where there is little room due to drainage ditches, when there is barely one lane to utilize. There is also a sober living home across from these cars that does have a longer driveway for parking. But, despite being told it was highly unlikely cars would be there, they also park on the street behind these cars towards 10th street, so that they can come & go without hindrance in their driveway. It is difficult for large vehicles to enter Eastern Heights safely or residents to safely exit due to lane restriction from the constantly parked vehicles. I personally have had to back up several times a week to let the loaded school bus enter our neighborhood safely. I have spoken with the bus driver and she is very concerned about her issues of entry, especially with winter arriving. By contacting the MCCS transportation they can reach her and supply you with her camcorders. The first house is a group home & she informed me of problems with their large van blocking the entry way, that leaves her sitting on 10th street trying to enter, which then blocks the views for a safe departure by the van, making a gridlock due to heavy, as well as fast, traffic on 10th. When the group home drive is full, cars are parked in front of their property, past the continuously parked cars, to Hector and around the corner on Hector. There is ample room for the group home to establish more parking or at least a turn around for their van to not back out on Deckard, which blocks both lanes of entry leaving the loaded bus sitting on 10th street waiting to enter Eastern Heights. The bus driver seemed particularly worried about that situation, as well as the parked cars. The snow plow drivers, garbage truck drivers could reinforce the problems with all these cars being parked, although I’m sure there is less traffic during their route times. We have no neighborhood covenants about parking on street, but we have NO sidewalks for safety, and this continual parking seems to grow, especially when they have ample area to provide parking, there is no attempt to park over a bit in their yard, all tires are on the pavement. Occasionally is understandable, but daily is unattainable to the rest of the neighborhood. I would like to ask that the city explore the possibility of putting a “no parking” sign from here to the street ( back towards 10th) at the corner of Deckard and Hector, which would only affect 4 homes of which 3 are the offenders. Thank you so much and if you have further questions, please feel free to contact myself or the bus driver, as I know she is concerned as well.
There are 3 neighborhood lights that no longer light up. I couldn’t find 2 of the lights on the Duke Energy map so I’m reporting it here. One light is under a large oak tree with stickers 15 21, which I have attached a photo of. There’s another light nearby with MNI6224 on it that doesn’t work either. Across the parking lot of the oak tree light is a light with stickers 15 23 on it that also doesn’t work.
Still waiting on this to completed ( #213643 ) Overgrowth between Madison Park and the Bline trail
In Swickard park in the community garden - water is just flowing out of the spigot. Don’t know if it’s broken or just stuck on.
The invasive Caller pear trees next to the Bryan tennis courts were cut down 5 years ago. Are there any plans to replace them?
Car parked in front of temporary no parking sign that is in effect. Sorry, picture blurred.
My name is Sophie Hosei and I have been attending Indiana University as an undergrad student. I have chronic orthopedic health issues that have caused me to withdraw from school. My last surgery was a donor knee graft transplant on 7/7/26 and after 6 weeks of bed rest, the surgery was not successful and requires more operations. I have another surgery now scheduled for this Friday, 10/30/26, where I will be temporarily disabled for at least another 8 weeks. I signed a year lease with Town Manor at 314 E Smith Ave, Bloomington, IN. 47401 and have asked to be released from the lease due to this ongoing medical disability. The house is not ADA compliant and post surgery, I will be limited to the bed, then wheelchair, and then crutches for several weeks. My future state is mobility is completely unknown. Aaron Vaughn, property manager said we can only sublet the room and although we have attempted to do so, we have been unsuccessful. This is mostly due to the room not really being a typical room set up. It is a loft, where you can only go up via a narrow spindle staircase. There is no door (its just an open room) or closet and you can’t fully stand up because it’s a low ceiling heigh. No one wants to rent it. I am hoping someone can help me get released from the lease completely, while not affecting the other 3 roommates who are on the lease as well. Thank you in advance.
I tore a large hole in my tire from a piece of metal sticking up by the road. The metal was to the left of the driveway at the above listed location. The metal looks like it is from an old sign post. I do have pictures of the metal and the damage done to my tire. I had to call Triple A for roadside assistance.
Utility dug up the tree plot and has left a pile of dirt eroding into the sidewalk. Looks like an AT&T box. Has been this way for over a month.
