My address: 510 N Lincoln St, Apt 10, Bloomington, IN, 47408 I got an item delivered but didn't receive the item inside. I want to report it as stolen/swapped because amazon needs me to provide proof.
Are trains allowed to travel thru city neighborhoods overnight? Multiple times trains have made round trips between 1 & 4 am on the industrial tracks from 84th to Old Shakopee thru Hyland neighborhoods
Sunday afternoons, even in the downtown area, should be a chance the peaceful enjoyment the premises of one's own abode. Today, however, the noise from the sidewalk musicians who are somehow sponsored by the record store on the east side of Walnut just south of Sixth Street, makes any peaceful enjoyment impossible. I have my windows shut, even though I should be able to have them open on a day as warm as this, and even though the windows are shut, the noise is quite intrusive. Does Bloomington not have a prohibition against this kind of use of the public right of way? Don't you need a permit, or can any business just say: Hey come play the drums and electric guitar out in front of my shop? More maybe they do have a permit. If they do, they should post it so everyone can see that it is allowed. I understand a certain amount of weird noises are part and parcel of downtown living. But this seems like an abuse of the downtown public sphere. Thanks for whatever you are able to do to help make downtown Bloomington actually livable.
Since it has opened, the new record store around the corner from Amrit India has featured live music performances of drums and amplified electric guitar music on Friday and Saturday nights on the sidewalk sometimes lasting past midnight. For residential units along Walnut and on 6th Street, the sound is an intrusion that prevents peaceable enjoyment of one's one private premises. Specifically, I can't sleep. It's not just unneighborly, it's a violation of Bloomington's noise ordinance. Perhaps the after hours ambassador or night mayor, or whatever the person is called now, can chat with the owners and suggest some other strategy for attracting customers. Thanks.
Limb fell in backyard and brought down a utility wire that is now hanging close to the alley. Not an electrical line - looks like communication. Not sure if this is a City issue or not, but the landlord (Parker Rentals) doesn't keep up properties, so it will just hang there until someone trips over it in the dark.
Light pole has a broken plastic cover. This is not a duke light.
New street lamp on SE corner of 12th/Lincoln is WAY too bright, much brighter and whiter than the normal orange-ish lamps on other street light fixtures in the neighborhood. This one emits a lot of glare, blinding drivers as they attempt to navigate 12th Street, and causing pain if one happens to look directly at it. Worse, it casts light far beyond the actual intersection, flooding the houses in the vicinity with unwanted light all night long, preventing people from enjoying their porches in the evenings and early mornings. If the City refuses to switch the light to a normal soft light that can be tolerated, it seems reasonable that the light can at the very least be shaded so that the intense glare is only directed downward rather than flooding the neighbors' homes in all directions with unnatural, unhealthy, and offensive light. A similar lamp was recently installed at the 12th/Dunn intersection. The people who live near that intersection are probably experiencing a similar, unwelcome annoyance.
An extremely bright and misdirected floodlight was recently installed on the shed-like building on the south portion of the lot. The fixture is casting dangerously bright and offensive glare on the back sides of the adjacent properties and the front of houses across the street. Please ask the absentee owner to follow normal procedures and guidelines when making changes to this once cute house that has unfortunately been allowed to be dragged down to its current condition.
Referring to issue# 192922: It is unclear why it was marked "invalid". The offending fixture is mounted to the upper NE corner of the west building at the back of the lot (the shack-like building located at the SW corner of the lot) and is emitting light aimed generally towards the N/NW, completely flooding the backside of 308 E. 12th with glare. The light also passes between 312 E. 12th and 308 E. 12th (see attached photograph), which then crosses 12th Street to light up *both* front doors of 305 E. 12th.
