This dumpster took off has been here for 3-4 years. The owner is using it as a dump site for his construction projects on his other properties around town. It is an eyesore and it attracts rodents.

Hello,
I regularly ride the bike lane along W 3rd and recently noticed that, at the intersection of W 3rd and the train tracks, the bike lane has been diverted onto the sidewalk.
Could you please explain the reason for this diversion? Prior to the change, I continued through the intersection using the existing bike lane without issue, and I am trying to better understand the purpose and intent behind the new routing.

Why is #206396, regarding this same location nowhere to be found when you type in the case number in Search tickets on the UReport site? Have you investigated what is in those 3 huge sheds on the property, and the vehicles in the back yard, are they operable? Looks like a scrap yard to me.

Why is it acceptable for switch yard park to have a flag sign. Tamales. And also the food truck on old 37? You told my business NO.
Thank you

Hello, here we go again with another violation from the grandson of property owner Carl James. This beauty of a vehicle (what’s left of it) was unloaded from a car trailer this past Sunday night (12/21). Someone let the car idle very loudly for about 15-20 minutes, while it emitted an ear splitting level of noise. I was in my kitchen, located in the middle of the house on the first floor of my home and thought someone may have had an accident. I turned out the kitchen light and peeked from behind my dining room curtain to see what the source of the noise was. I saw two sets of headlights. I was relieved it was not an accident and returned to getting my dinner. Then the noise got really loud as the vehicle was coming past my kitchen window down Fairview alley. The car then rounded the corner onto a gravel and dirt path behind the houses on W. 7th Street. It came within one foot of my next door neighbor’s wooden privacy fence. I can see how close the wrecker came to hitting the fence due to the trail of mud left behind. I knew exactly where the car was going to end up and I was correct. The attached photo was taken the following day. This family has 32 City of Bloomington violations reported on their property, dating back to 1970. They obviously don’t follow rules or have any respect for the neighbors living in close proximity to their house. Owner Carl James is in deteriorating health and feels since he owns the house, his spawn can do whatever the **** they want. I’m planning to move to Urbana, Illinois in the spring of 2026. The James family is never going to change their ways, so I’m leaving Bloomington. I thought this was my forever home, but at the age of 64 I will be moving again. This is the outcome when people “flip the bird” at rules and personal responsibility.

Isn’t this truck in violation of UDO 20.04.060 (n) (4)?
It has been sitting there for over 30 years, has an expired license plate (used to be 1975, since a couple of months 2016). Sticker cannot be seen because it has a glove hanging over it.
