Trees on Pete Ellis Drive marked for removal Hi there—I just read the article in the paper about this issue. Please work with the state to not remove all of these beautiful old trees. Surely some compromise can be made to save some of them! Thank you!
A homeless person has set up camp next to railway tracks just north of the Park Ridge neighborhood park. It is disguised as a pile of sticks. His 2 bikes are easily noticeable next to the Grimshaw Trail. One can follow his tracks to the campsite as he has survived the cold of the last 2 weeks.
I would like to express some disappointment in the overall process for the Kirkwood closures. I made the mistake of watching 2/4's city council meeting and was surprised at the level of outrage that some individuals had due to the city recognizing that what exists currently is insufficient and a drain of city resources. I can certainly appreciate why businesses on/right around Kirkwood would want to give their business an essentially free boost of revenue but missing from this equation is how it impacts non-Kirkwood businesses. It seems all is framed to help these bars and restaurants out but it seems if you go down there when the Kirkwood is open that they're already doing just fine. Further, the city did mention that there is approximately $80k in lost revenue, plus the staff drain...if we do end up closing it, maybe we should consider permit fees high enough to recoup these costs instead of giving them this PUBLIC space for the current nominal amount. Mostly I just want to state that while I look forward to a thoughtful Kirkwood redesign in the future that does expand options for businesses, residents, and visitors alike, Bloomington is much, much, much more than Kirkwood! I would love to see us start celebrating and investing into those areas with the same energy that we put into Kirkwood- even if they don't have the KCA behind them!!
Why are there 32 New streetlights on west 1st st roughly the b-line to BHAS? Is this the new standard for streetlight place and concentration? Will other ares be brought up to the same standards as this area? There are not even any residents to serve? Was this paid by TIF Funds or other funds? If other funds what are they and are they funds sustainable ? Will all new areas get the treatment? Street lights question here because I was getting an error in the street light area.
7th, 8th, & Morton Street around the Justice building is needing another pass through by plow. Several vehicles spinning this morning. Thanks!
Hello! I know the men in the trucks are working their tails off. I do wonder why even when extreme snow is predicted our city folks in charge of planning truly fail Bloomington. I’ve lived here for many years after coming from Michigan and every year the city becomes a joke about their handling of the snow but as we come to this storm I wanted to formally request more information on logistics and planning. I have many a times tried to understand what part and who within the city’s scope this is via this tool or emailing directly but unfortunately I never receive actual responses to my questions, but sometimes I see the action taken so I know my questions were read. I would prefer this request not go through Adam Wason since I do believe he is the one ignoring my contacts or brushing me off which as someone who was a coworker and friend of his feels even worse. Is there another party in the city to speak to about this to ensure things are getting taken care of? Thank you for your time.
Apparently the city let Indiana University have a permit to set off fireworks after 11:00 p.m. and a bunch of people around here were thinking it was gunfire because who in their right mind would think oh that's just fireworks in January. It was very irresponsible for the city to allow this, and it set off a chain reaction of people letting off fireworks all over town. Don't be surprised when it is real gunfire and nobody calls.
Smoking continues to occur around north CH entrance, trash enclosure, bench/covered rest area, etc. This does not meet the no smoking regulations per city policy or state law. When raining smoking occurs under awnings near entrances and between county and city. Being subjected to this as a resident walking through or a worker walking through is not great. Please address this.

Reported by BikeSmith (112 S College) a homeless shelter made out of cardboard was erected on their rear deck, between 113 S Gentry and 117 S Gentry, next to 119 S Gentry. The cardboard has been cleaned up. The individual(s) are no longer on site. We wanted the issue documented by the City of Bloomington. Thank you. Mike at Olympus Properties
