The city of Bloomington has chosen to place two new, unwanted, street lights on the 1000 block of South Hawthorne. They appear to be halogens because they are VERY bright at night and causing light pollution at night. Our starry skies are gone. Why have they been placed there? There are currently "Hurricane" style street lights in the same vicinity. Did someone request these? Thank you. V/r, Mark
Newly installed lights on Hawthorne. The lights are so bright I could mow my lawn at midnight and that is with the trees in full leaf. I used to enjoy looking at the stars, but no more. I don't remember seeing any additional lights in the plan for the bike access between weatherstone and hawthorne. There are already lights at either end of the street marking the intersections so perhaps that aren't necessary. Could they be dimmed or adapted so the light is cast downward?
Park Ridge East Park is very very very dark at night. Feels dangerous to walk Greenway. Can we get one more light even? Thank you.
Dear Sir/Madam, I have faced a lot of, (problem(s)/issue(s)), while being (homeless/transient), in, (local: (City/Town(s)), (esp. Central Indiana, South-Central Indiana), (some/all) of which, are stated: (temporary/conditional) trespass advisories, from (local:(City/Town(s)), (pvt./non-profit, etc.) establishment(s), (year(s):(2015/'16) onward(s)), which has become, (of, recent times), inconvenience to me, (personally), (since, due to, no(fixed) earned income source(s), I don't (presently) have a (fixed/stabilized) place to stay, (e.g. (rental) apartment(s), residential unit(s), etc.), and as a result, I do not have (legal) access to, (fundamental) necessitated (indoor) space(s), (e.g. (restroom/(with/without) shower facility), cooling center(s), etc.). I would be obliged, if my, (afore)-mentioned (problem(s)/issue(s)) are addressed , (at least , by the beginning of the bitterly-cold (U.S) Mid-western winter season, (yr.2024-'25), Thanking You, Yours sincerely, Ms. Diya B.((email):info@volunteerhub.com)
A bit odd to have Black & Brown Arts on the same day as Pride maybe. If going to do so would have been great to have seen more collaboration between the City and Pride in cross-marketing, maybe a joint venture, or something that would make it feel a bit collaborative instead of potential to choose either or. Hard in a busy town to avoid other events, but these were both cultural festivals.
The yellow paint on the curb adjacent to my driveway has (largely) worn away, and cars now park right up to my driveway on 2nd st, which is very busy. I can't see cars coming from either direction when parked cars take these (illegal) positions. I would like the yellow paint to be redone so that drivers would more often leave clearance around my driveway.
There is a street light out somewhere around this intersection (Dodds and Madison)(I noticed last night but can't remember which side of the street it's on). Honestly a second light in this stretch of Dodds (between Morton and Rogers and maybe even beyond) would be so nice as well, but at least replacing the one that is out would help a ton. Thank you!
On the east side of the B-Line Trail, on the embankment along a stretch of about 100 feet is becoming a health hazard due to the following: trash, abandoned vehicle in adjacent parking lot, human waste. All of this is along the South west side of the Monroe Convention center parking lot that is not being cleaned nor policed in any way. We have observed transients defecating and urinating in the bushes between the parking and the B-Line trail. This appears to be a popular spot for transients because the vegetation and low bushes and branches provide cover. Trash is piling up. Transients have been sleeping for multiple nights just off the SW corner of the Convention Center parking lot. The abandoned vehicle is attracting trash and debris inside and out. Please look into why the Convention Center does not make any effort to clean up their SW parking lot where trash in this area is clearly visible on the B-Line trail.
My next door neighbor has set up a unhoused encampment next door. They have unleashed dogs we can climb under the fence and there is no access to water, trash disposal, or bathroom facilities. No discussion was had with me prior to the encampment moving in and it is preventing me or my dog being able to use our backyard.
Parking spot on street markings need repainted
