Emergency vehicles do tremendous life-saving work. We are most grateful. And they are exempt from noise ordinances. But was it necessary to use a siren at 3:20 AM Sun. morning, Oct 5 near the Hyde Park/ Sare Road neighborhood? There is hardly any traffic at that hour. The siren awakened me and I was unable to get back to sleep. I am 73, and recovering from an illness. I don’t know if the ambulance came from the Bloomington fire dept or hospital, but wouldn’t flashing lights be sufficient at that hour?

There are large stones blocking the sidewalk on the north side of 2nd, a bit west of Wendy’s and also closer to the trail. You wouldn’t leave barriers in the roads. Why do you leave them on sidewalks? Thank you.
