I'm uncertain on exact addresses, there are multiple locations all throughout Bloomington that are overgrown blocking not just sidewalks but hiding stop signs. There needs to be a general cleanup done on all side all trees and signs to make them more visible. Remember college kids suck and like to be the frog in frogger. On sidewalks Im constantly ducking to avoid branches and I'm only 6'1" there are much taller people that have it worse

What is the recycling bin number for this address. I asked this before and I got a notice that it was resolved, but I never found out what the number is. My neighbor insists that my bin is theirs. Please respond with the number of the bin for 708 S Woodlawn Ave.

New asphalt on top of construction is not level with the original B-line trail. This uneven patch-job is located at 2nd and S Morton. It causes imbalance for cyclists and pedestrians at a dangerous intersection.

The Atlas on 17th does not accommodate parking for all its residents. This has pushed their renters into pouring into our roads and alleys. We need help combating this situation. We do not have enough spaces to park and they are throwing trash and beer cans into our family community. Due to then driving in our area, I have almost been hit by a car two times this week. I did call and report to police. One car threw a beer can out the window and yelled 'woah!' On the second occasion. We need help.

Our neighborhood of Arlington Commons has become overrun by overflow traffic from the Atlas apartments. They take up the all of the street parking, leaving nowhere for actual residents that live on that street. They will often come through late at night with their music on very loud as well. Additionally, the roads are already narrow and the way they park make it difficult to get in an out of my driveway. I would like to request a parking permit for Arlington Commons neighborhood only- and for it to extend into the evenings and the weekend. I am especially concerned for when weather is bad as I foresee many accidents trying to get in and out of driveways with so many cars on the streets.

On the south side of 14th St, between College and Walnut, a wire hanging from the lines above is draped across the sidewalk. I think it was downed by a storm a month or two ago.

Non-consensual tows by Chandler Automotive & Towing (BMC ch. 4.32) On 10/20/2026 at about 12:15 pm, Chandler Automotive & Towing towed my 2017 Cadillac ATS (Indiana plate HAQ849) from the tenant parking lot at 508 S Fess Ave. No one authorizing the tow was present when my car was towed. The authorization form was signed afterward by Ashley Chandler, a Chandler’s employee working their front desk, after my car was already at their lot at 1107 N Jackson St. I watched her sign it and recorded it. When I called Chandler’s later that day, they confirmed they sign after the tow and said this is allowed. BMC 4.32.100(a) requires the owner or authorized agent to be “present at the time of the tow” and sign a “contemporaneous” written authorization. The multifamily exception in 4.32.100(d) allows a tow company employee to act as the agent but does not waive that requirement. The form has other problems: It has no date or time of authorization, only the time of the tow, which 4.32.100(b)(4) requires. It lists the wrong tow address. My car was parked at 508 S Fess Ave, but the form lists “Campus Walk, 520 N. Grant St.,” which is the management office, not the parking lot. BMC 4.32.100(b)(2) requires the address of the parking lot the vehicle was towed from. Taken together, this suggests the authorization was not completed for this specific tow at the time it happened. Chandler’s also first billed me $225, including a $50 dolly charge even though no dollies were used, and removed it only after I questioned it. Chandler’s also towed my car from the same lot in early August 2026, and I believe the authorization was handled the same way. Chandler’s must keep the records for that tow under BMC 4.32.150. I ask the city to investigate both tows, including the property owner’s affidavit and the photo or video documentation required by 4.32.100(d)(2) and (d)(4). If either tow violated ch. 4.32, I request a refund under BMC 4.32.130(d) of the $175 I paid on 10/20 and the fees I paid for the August tow. I can provide my recordings on request. This is not just about my money. When I called, Chandler’s told me they are allowed to sign authorizations after a tow, which suggests this is how they routinely operate. Chapter 4.32 was passed specifically to protect Bloomington residents from predatory towing, and its requirement that someone be present and sign at the time of the tow is the main safeguard against tow companies patrolling lots and towing at will. If Chandler’s is signing these forms after the fact, that safeguard means nothing, and every renter in a permit lot they patrol is exposed. Many of those residents are students and working people who will simply pay and never know their rights. I ask the city to inspect Chandler’s authorization records under BMC 4.32.150 to determine how many other tows were handled this way, to enforce the penalties in 4.32.160, and to make sure everyone towed in violation of this chapter is told they may recover their fees under 4.32.130(d). Please let me know the outcome of your review.
