There were potholes at the entrance to Madison Park Homeowners' Assoc and the city took care of those, but there is a large rut that still needs to be filled in. Recently a resident tripped and fell as a result of this. I just wanted to submit a request to have this taken care of. Thank you.
Neglected sidewalk. Vegetation and debris make it a tightrope walk.
Street light is out, not working.
The entrance of Gentry East Subdivision at Compton and 446. Numerous very large potholes, it's hard to turn in to the neighborhood without falling in to one. There are also a few spots on Compton Blvd (before the stop sign) that are bad as well.
There are multiple birds nests on the stairs on either side of the building. There’s one on the side facing the apartment complex and two on the side facing LaserLite. One of the birds nests has eggs in it. I’m worried because there are residents with animals and the birds nests aren’t safe sitting out on the steps.
Dear City of Bloomington Representative, I am writing to formally request the consideration of an ordinance prohibiting the use of engine brakes (commonly known as “Jake Brakes”) on E 3rd Street West of SR 446 into Bloomington. This stretch of road, being a key route with both residential and commercial presence, frequently experiences disruptive noise pollution from heavy trucks utilizing engine brakes. As a resident in the area at Summerhouse, I can personally attest to the significant impact this has on daily life and overall well-being. The frequent noise not only disrupts daytime activities but also affects my ability to sleep soundly at night, compromising rest and health. Supporting Evidence: 1. Noise Pollution and Health: Studies have consistently shown that chronic exposure to high-decibel noise—like that produced by engine brakes—can contribute to sleep disturbances, increased stress levels, and even cardiovascular risks. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), noise above 55 dB is considered harmful, and engine brakes often exceed 80–100 dB. 2. Ordinance Effectiveness: Many municipalities across the U.S. have adopted engine brake ordinances in residential areas to reduce noise pollution and improve quality of life. 3. Local Impact: Given the residential density and commercial activity along E 3rd Street, enforcing a restriction would bring it in line with common noise abatement practices, ensuring a quieter, more livable environment for its residents. I believe that introducing this ordinance would not only improve the quality of life for residents but also align with community standards of noise control and public health considerations. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this matter further and provide any additional information that may be helpful. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Paul Laudeman
