| Bloomington, IN | open | Business | Weve been using yellow cab for quite some time now. Once or twice a day at least for the last few months. Its getting to a point where they don't answer their phones because their isn't a dispatcher. Or they take hours to show up. Thats not the problem though. The issue is we'll keep calling until someone answers and they pick up the phone cussing us out telling us there isn't no drivers before we can even get a word out. Ive been late to work multiple times, and the disrespect is too much to deal with. Especially when we pay a lot for their services. If this is how the city of bloomington treats people, we have a problem. | | about 12 hours ago |
| Bloomington, IN | closed | Parking Meters and Tickets | Hi again, I am personally not having issues today, but about an hour ago a man was trying to park in the disabled spot in front of Fountain Square Mall. (Near 76118, but I don't know the number.) He was upset because he said he had tried other spots, but the parking meters weren't working. He reported the meter where he was parked would not take his card, and that he had entered $3.00 in coins but the meter would not record that he had paid anything. Thanks. | | 1 day ago |

| Bloomington, IN | open | Sidewalk & Curb Complaints | Sorry if this is a repeat, I'm having a devil of a time with the website.
This is a follow up to ticket #166390, in which Phil Peden indicated he wanted to see it when it rains. This is a view to the west from the sidewalk on the west side of Rogers St at about 9th street, between Bloomington Iron Metal (right of photo) and 501 N Rogers. The two problematic tributaries are labelled in the photo. They meet just to the left of the photo, which is exactly where the sidewalk crosses the 501 N Rogers driveway, and they flow south from there. Tributary A runs eastward along the north side of the pavement there, and then fans out where the pavement seam starts, and poses the larger problem because it is too wide to step over. Tributary B handles a large volume of water, but in light rain you can hop over it onto a manhole cover (marked "communications") that is just to the right of the photo. If a trench was dug in the dirt along the north side of the asphalt, extending all the way from the fence to the sidewalk, then A and B could probably be forced to join directly at the photographer's feet. Then it is just a matter of digging a trench under the sidewalk to the existing (and dry) rain gutter just behind the photographer. Thank you!!!! |  | 1 day ago |

| Bloomington, IN | open | Scooters, Bike-share and Related Issues | I think the scooters, as currently used, are a bad idea. They are dangerous to riders and pedestrians and pose a hazard to motorists, besides clutter our sidewalks. Environmentally, I think of them as a large-scale manifestation of the American disposable razor mentally. At the very least, they need to be thoughtfully regulated. If not banned entirely, then, as motorized vehicles, they should be confined to streets or bike lanes and obey traffic laws, with fines resulting for violations. While we are at it, bicycles should not be allowed on sidewalks either. I am all for low carbon emissions, but I am not convinced the scooters are a safe and green alternative to walking or biking or taking a bus. | | 5 days ago |

| Bloomington, IN | open | Scooters, Bike-share and Related Issues | Scooters are the latest scourge on Bloomington and it seems that our city officials refuse to directly address the issue. The unenforceable regulations that tie them to bicycles is ridiculous. I walk downtown routinely and each time I have gone downtown I have experiences a scooter whizzing by me on the sidewalk in the "dismount" zone. Motorized vehicles should not be on sidewalks, period. They also continue to litter the downtown and neighborhoods. They lay everywhere and create an unsightly mess all over town. Bloomington is quickly becoming a less desirable city in which to live because of our mayor's and city council's inability to deal with this latest invasion. | | 5 days ago |

| Bloomington, IN | open | Parks & Playgrounds | First - thank you for how responsive the department has been to our observations about Park Ridge Park. We really appreciate it!
Park Ridge has a density of plants in and around it and is a relatively small park. As such, the amount of debris that can accumulate on the park compared to its size is quite high. We have witnessed that this debris tends to remain over the winter and well into spring if it isn't removed. We have seen that this eventually causes problems as the debris prevents grass from overwintering well and regrowing in the spring. This leads to bare spots (especially since the park is pretty all sloped except for the build in structures) leading to erosion. The Parks Department has worked diligently to mitigate these erosion issues through sowing grass seed, putting down straw mats, etc. This has been effective at at least stopping the erosion. However, I wonder if these mitigation efforts will have to be repeated next spring given the amount of debris in park. I suggest removing the debris now to hopefully prevent future problems and accompanying efforts to fix those problems. Please let us know what you think and thanks again for your responsiveness and hard work at making Park Ridge and Bloomington a great place to live and work.
Cheers,
John | | 9 days ago |
