The email link I received when filing my report does not work. Even typing it in to the browser does not work.
I cannot get my reports to submit. It has an error code at least half of the time.
I just tried to file an incident report online, but don't think it went through. I kept getting rerouted to a page that was not relevant. For credit card fraud, two instances, about $200 total. Should I call instead?
Currently, the city only has one method for filing noise complaints, which is to call the number listed on the city's website. Having only one reporting method is extremely ineffective, and limiting the reporting method to only verbal communication creates a barrier for accessibility. There are individuals who cannot communicate over the phone - like me. Illness stole my voice years ago, but my hearing was not impacted - I still hear the noise. I just can't report it. Not sure what an adequate fix would be, as it would have to be something that is regularly monitored. (Address provided is rough estimate of area where heavy bass plays frequently, it could be one of these houses or an apartment building - I needed to put a location on the map, so I included that one.)
For this ticket (https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=202312) I tried to upload a photo, but it did not work, apparently. If interested, I can provide via email. I tried attaching it to this ticket as well.
Using the MyBloomington website, ( https://bloomington.in.gov/mybloomington/ ) It would be helpful to list the historic designation per the SHARD for houses both in and out of historic districts. (i.e. C / Contributing, NC / Non-Contributing, O / Outstanding, etc.) and linked to a page that explains WHAT THAT MEANS in terms of modifications to the outsides of houses, whether or not that structure is in an historic district. Many homeowners come before the Historic Preservation Commission angry and uninformed. Consult with the HPC Program Manager, Noah Sandweiss, on what to put in these blurbs - it changes based on whether the property is in a district, as well which district it is in. (Noah’s email: noah.sandweiss@bloomington.in.gov )
I’d like to request that the City integrate any grandfathered single family residency occupancy allowances into the mybloomington data for addresses. That is, state in the mybloomington address data that only three unrelated adults are allowed to rent a house at the listed address, or state the grandfathered amount, and if that grandfathered number has been properly maintained or rescinded due to non-renewal. It would help tenants to determine if they are getting a legal lease, and neighbors to determine if more than three adults are legal or not without going through the process of contacting HAND, and potential buyers to understand what they are getting into.
Some calendar entries require logging into a Google account before info about the public meeting can be viewed. It would be helpful to not require logging into a Google account before display of public meeting information in order to ensure greatest levels of accessibility and participation. For example, on the page at https://bloomington.in.gov/boards clicking on the calendar links displayed on the right side of the page for the Feb 9 meeting of the Metropolitan Planning Organization Policy Committee or for the Feb 12 Board of Public Works Session displays a prompt to log into a Google account if the visitor is not already logged into a Google account. In contrast, clicking on the calendar entry for the Feb 7 Common Council Regular Session immediately displays the associated public meeting information, without first requiring a Google login.
This is a suggestion for a website related service. You’ve rolled out a calendar for yard waste and recycling pickup on re-collect, which I use and greatly appreciate. I am wondering if a similar calendar accessed through myBloomington can be established for street cleaning (with the suggestion that cars be moved if possible) to maximize efficiency.
