1508 W. 11th is going to be sold in a Sheriff Sale on Oct 18th. Contractors for the lawyer/bank who repossessed the property due to the death of the owner have already cleaned out the house and have been keeping the property mowed. However, because the house is vacant, the neighbors to the east (1506), have been stacking/throwing trash, debris, etc. into the house. It is just packed with it. This is absolutely unfair to any potential buyer of 1508 as they will have to pay for the removal of this garbage once they purchase the property. 1506 needs to dispose of their own damn trash.

Large electronic billboard eyesore still in place at kinser pike. Will this finally come down soon? It’s so bright and distracting to drivers and it can be seen at night as a bother from adjacent neighborhoods and properties (apartments and hotels). Is this going forward to get removed?

Incident Report – Improper Towing of Vehicle
Date of Tow: February 25, 2024
Location: 429 S Walnut St, Bloomington, IN
Incident Description
On February 25, 2024, my vehicle was towed from 429 S Walnut St, Bloomington, IN, without my consent. The towing company did not obtain my explicit authorization before removing my vehicle, making this a non-consensual tow in potential violation of Bloomington Municipal Code Chapter 4.32 (Non-Consensual Towing Businesses).
At the time of the tow, my vehicle was properly registered with the apartment complex’s parking system. My license plate was on file as having a valid parking permit, but I had not been issued a physical parking sticker by management, which was outside of my control. Despite my valid registration, my vehicle was still towed, suggesting improper enforcement of parking regulations.
Additionally, maintenance personnel were occupying my assigned parking spot the last time I drove. This forced me to park elsewhere in the lot, which may have contributed to the towing error.
Signage Review
The posted signage did include the following legal requirements:
A clear statement that unauthorized vehicles would be towed.
The name and contact information of the towing company.
Information on where towed vehicles could be retrieved.
A schedule of towing and storage fees.
However, the signage also stated that parking was reserved for residents of Kirkwood Management, which I was not at the time, even though my vehicle was registered with the complex and I had been assigned a parking spot.
Violation of Ordinances
Lack of Consent (BMC § 4.32.100(a))
The tow was conducted without my authorization. Bloomington Municipal Code 4.32.100(a) states that it is unlawful to tow a vehicle from a parking lot unless the parking lot owner or an authorized agent, present at the time of the tow, signs a written authorization for that specific vehicle. If this requirement was not met, the tow was unlawful.
Valid Parking Permit Not Honored
My vehicle was registered with the complex’s parking system, but I had not received a sticker from management. Since my plate was on file as having a valid permit, my vehicle should not have been subject to towing. This indicates an error in enforcement, either by the property management or the towing company, leading to an unjustified tow.
Claim & Request for Action
Given that my vehicle was towed despite being properly registered and that the signage at the location failed to recognize my valid permit, I formally request the following:
A full refund of all towing and storage fees incurred.
Confirmation that my valid parking permit is properly recognized moving forward to prevent future incidents.

Every time there is a football game at Memorial Stadium, they set off fireworks or cannons or something. Sometimes, like last night, they set them off after 10 and it seems like I've heard them even later than that. Does IU request an exemption to the noise ordinance? If so, why is it granted? Me and my sleepy infant son would like to know.
Thanks.

The current resident at 3508 E. Park Lane (Bloomington, 47408) is running a business in a residential dwelling. Besides untidiness and noise in the front yard, this individual stores equipment and materials in the open. He parks his vehicles and trailers on the street, effectively disabling a lane, which not only causes congestion but generates conditions for an unfortunate accident. He has now expanded his business to two trailers, worsening traffic issues and general safety in a residential area. This business has become a nuisance to Park Ridge neighbors and we hope the City of Bloomington takes prompt action.

During this past weekend's storms, a tree on city owned property fell and damaged our fence. The tree also damaged an adjoining fence on coty owned property. We have taken pictures, moved the tree and crudely sealed the fences well enough to keep the dog in the yard. What are our next steps?
