It was recently brought to my attention that the city landscaping is contracted vs performed by city employees. I believe the scope of their work did not get communicated properly. There is a strip of grass from Hopsctoch coffee to the Grimes St overpass which is not currently being mowed. Some of the residents have been mowing it on their own, but not all have. I understand this is the city's responsibility. Some of the grass is much higher than the city allows. Please send someone to remedy the problem. It's not just an eyesore but may bring unwanted critters as well. Thank you

Dear City of Bloomington Representative, I am writing to formally request the consideration of an ordinance prohibiting the use of engine brakes (commonly known as “Jake Brakes”) on E 3rd Street West of SR 446 into Bloomington. This stretch of road, being a key route with both residential and commercial presence, frequently experiences disruptive noise pollution from heavy trucks utilizing engine brakes. As a resident in the area at Summerhouse, I can personally attest to the significant impact this has on daily life and overall well-being. The frequent noise not only disrupts daytime activities but also affects my ability to sleep soundly at night, compromising rest and health. Supporting Evidence: 1. Noise Pollution and Health: Studies have consistently shown that chronic exposure to high-decibel noise—like that produced by engine brakes—can contribute to sleep disturbances, increased stress levels, and even cardiovascular risks. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), noise above 55 dB is considered harmful, and engine brakes often exceed 80–100 dB. 2. Ordinance Effectiveness: Many municipalities across the U.S. have adopted engine brake ordinances in residential areas to reduce noise pollution and improve quality of life. 3. Local Impact: Given the residential density and commercial activity along E 3rd Street, enforcing a restriction would bring it in line with common noise abatement practices, ensuring a quieter, more livable environment for its residents. I believe that introducing this ordinance would not only improve the quality of life for residents but also align with community standards of noise control and public health considerations. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this matter further and provide any additional information that may be helpful. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Paul Laudeman

We are concerned about the 2 junk cars (dark purple and white) left on the driveway of 1058 S Colchester Ct Bloomington IN that the owners do not use. Problem 1: The windows of one of the junk cars have been compromised and the junk car could become a source of rodent infestation. We spot dead mice in outdoor spaces in neighboring properties. Problem 2: Overcrowding of the cul-de-sac. The 1058 household has 6 cars altogether: 2 junk cars on the driveway, 2 more cars on the driveway, and 2 additional cars on the public areas of the cul-de-sac throughout the day and night, even though the HOA does not allow street parking during the night hours. Problem 3: The front yard is in disarray. There is thick growth taking over the front and side of 1058 and the grass is not mowed.
