Excessive Growth |

This rental is owned by out-of-town landlords who, at one time, lived in the house. The back yard is severely overgrown and has been for years, even when they lived there. There are many towering trees along the west side of the property, with many, many dead branches on them. At least one entire tree has been dead for years (in violation of city ordinance) yet the landlords do nothing about it. This line of trees is about 15 feet from the house to the west of it, and a windstorm could bring them crashing onto that house and/or through its windows. The bushes and shrubbery are overgrown and have been for years, spilling onto neighboring properties. The grass and weeds are tall, in violation of city ordinance. The yard has only been mowed 2 or 3 times all year. It rarely gets mowed, even when the house is rented. Yard waste sits around in piles, sometimes for years, and never gets disposed of. There is junk and trash (in violation of city ordinance) -- a broken window frame has sat in the weeds against a fence for years; broken lattice from the deck has sat in the weeds against the house for years; a lawn mower sits out in the elements in the weeds; a gas can sitting in the weeds. Other objects are in the weeds, but the weeds are so tall you can't tell what the objects are. Tall weeds against all the fences, never get cut. Some kind of wire from the power poles has fallen and is touching the ground for over a year. Landlords do nothing. The property is an unsightly mess and constitutes a nuisance property which warrants legal action. |

I have notice a very disrespectful tend toward Kirkwood business owners, disabled, and City of Blooming citizens and guests. Shen there are events are held on Kirkwood it has taken the city and extra day to remove the Ballard posts. This extra day for each event wastes public good of being able to park and go to local businesses on Sunday. This also wasted the public free space that a lot of people use on Sunday to go to those businesses. Maybe the city administration and staff don’t care because they are using a city vehicle to go and shop or eat downtown with out paying the meters. I can see understand if their jobs directly relates to a project or direct issue. They are just not getting a free space but they are keeping a paying person either by feeding the meter or a ticket and going to visit a local business.
I digress also with the extra day of keeping the street all of the parking spaces are going to waste. Only the business and citizens are feeling the inconvenience of this change in policy. Maybe the city should give an additional day of free parking on areas closed after an event so maybe the city will share in the inconvenience of not opening the street up asap. |

Illegal parking on street and grass at Olcott Park for youth games on Saturdays and Sundays. People parking on grass, in front of hydrants and stop signs are making the road almost impassable at The Stands and Canada Dr area in front of the park. Last week there was a death in the house on that corner and the EMT’s and fire truck could barely get to the house because of double parking and a mess of cars. Please tell coaches the Jackson Creek Middle School parking lot is where people should be parking and please have a police presence next weekend to direct people and to ticket cars parked illegally. |

Re: Follow-up to Service Request ID: 208930
I am writing to follow up on my previous request to repaint the curb in front of my driveway with yellow "no parking" paint, to ensure drivers do not obstruct my visibility when exiting my property.
Since the repaving and reopening of West 1st Street, traffic has increased significantly, with vehicles frequently traveling in excess of 40 mph. This creates a hazardous situation for homeowners along the street. With the fall semester starting this week, on-street parking near my home is (404 E 1st Street) already at capacity, further compounding the visibility and safety concerns.
I would greatly appreciate it if this issue could be addressed as soon as possible.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Elida C. Behar

The traffic light at 3rd and Madison turns red for 3rd and green for Madison when there is no one trying to cross at Madison, either in a vehicle, on a bike, or as a pedestrian. 3rd is the detour for the Rogers closure, and it causes backups on 3rd when the light is red for 40-50 seconds for no reason. Then, the light at 3rd and Rogers is not timing up with the erroneous red lights at Madison, so traffic just backs up yet again one block away between those two lights. Send someone out ot fix this. Madison used to require someone to be there to trigger it. That would be a much better solution, go back to how it worked fine before. |

I have reported this light at S. Walnut and E. South Dr. numerous times. The City needs to finally fix it. The light triggers for South Drive on its own, a phantom vehicle or pedestrian. Then, the light is red for Walnut in both directions for 45-50 seconds. Traffic backs up on Walnut, all so no one can proceed on South Drive because no one is there to use the light. This light used to only go to green for South Drive if someone was there in a vehicle or pushed the pedestrian button. That broke down earlier this year and continues to be a significant issue that the City does not seem to address. Why would Walnut not be a higher preference as a major north/south road? |

Traffic Related Complaints |
open |
This is an urgent public safety, transit operations, and traffic flow hazard linked directly to active uReport cases #213337 and #213273. Using the 302 S. Walnut St. terminal platforms as an unmanaged, unsupervised triage, cooling, and heating center without any specialized oversight relying on passengers to keep the peace and make reports is actively disrupting public transit vehicle traffic. Large crowds, sprawling personal property, bed rolls, and temporary camping items are spilling directly off the designated bus bay benches and onto active boarding paths, pedestrian walkways, and loading lanes. This severe congestion introduces major physical obstructions, causing transit buses to delay docking, creating hazardous driver line-of-sight blind spots, and drastically slowing down passenger boarding flow during early morning and peak commute windows.Furthermore, this operational chaos results in constant, daily ambulance and emergency vehicle responses to the platforms. Due to the restricted lane space and structural congestion at this terminal, responding emergency vehicles routinely block active bus departures and transit traffic lanes. This persistent gridlock forces paying passengers to miss critical medical appointments and lose employment opportunities due to unpredictable, blocked transit vehicles.Compounding this vehicle hazard, the hostile platform environment has caused a severe collapse in off-peak passenger retention. Long-term, multi-year riders are abandoning Bloomington Transit because paying commuters trying to access their designated routes are treated as trespassers in an intimidating, territorial space. Surrendering active loading zones and emergency exits to non-transit use is an unsustainable municipal performance failure that violates Title 15 transit zone compliance. Clear the active bus bays, remove the obstructions from the loading platforms, and restore unobstructed lane access for public vehicles. |

Blocked Sidewalk |
open |
Transit benches and seating during off peak hours of operation when the building is closed and no staff or security is in sight in between bus arrivals and departures has led to blocked access to sidewalks and benches that correspond with the proper transfer to the city's hospitality and retail districts, but when contacting Transit, the lines were either closed or I was told to just contact 911. Contacting 911 when you're one of very few bus riders and most of the persons are invited to take up entire benches and sidewalks and alleys that are dark without any supervision or preventive action after previous reports and constant, daily calls from various individuals to emergency dispatch leaves me feeling that continuing to call 911 and sexual harassment being viewed as a civil matter is unsustainable for any one individual who's just trying to use the transit center for its intended purpose against multiple unknown daily rotating individuals and unknown issue to All City officials. My rational response is to report it as I fear that I will just keep being viewed as someone who is having a personal issue and reacting poorly to daily grooming and sexual harassment in what has become a legal grey area of daily surveillance of lone, predictable, public transit commuters, and especially women. Your hospitality staff is trained to be welcoming and not always reacts or response appropriately at 6:30 in the morning off the clock to unknown individuals in an unpredictable environment. This is a pressure cooker the city needs to pay close attention to instead of asking your Transit passengers who are dropping in numbers to act as individual issues between individuals. I don't want to have to go speak to a judge and take off work to use your sidewalks. |

Regarding #213613 and some others that would be time consuming for me to find. - The city's approval of the 2024 high-density redevelopment on the 300 block of N. Jefferson Street has created a severe, entirely predictable neighborhood parking crisis that requires immediate action, not bureaucratic delay. By transitioning this corridor to RM zoning in 2021, the planning department allowed small single-family homes to be replaced by massive multi-room apartments, skyrocketing the local population from roughly 20 to over 80 residents. Because the rear parking lots are fundamentally inadequate for this density, the city is now dragging out on-street permit authorizations while claiming to "look at the issue." This gridlock is unacceptable. Rather than stalling, the city should immediately coordinate with Indiana University to absorb this student-driven overflow. We suggest requiring or incentivizing the residents of these new complexes to utilize IU parking permits for the nearby Eigenmann Hall parking lot, which sits just a block away, effectively shifting the vehicle burden off neighborhood streets and onto the campus infrastructure designed to handle it. |

This Silver Toyota Camry has been parking in the handicap parking out front of building 504 at the Village at Muller Park for a few weeks now and I have just now learned from the owner that she is not disabled and is “borrowing” the tag from someone so she always has good parking. I have friends and family members who are disabled and due to limited parking being taken up by someone without a disability, they are unable to get the parking they would need for access to visit- as well as any residents living there who may also be disabled. Thank you. |

I am requesting an inspection of the property at 1800 S. Walnut Street, Bloomington, Indiana, where approximately 63 used/discarded tires are currently being stored outdoors on the grassy area behind the automotive repair facility.
The tires are being stored uncovered and directly on the ground/grass, with numerous tires positioned open-side-up. Several tires are stacked together while others are scattered individually around the area. Based on their condition and the manner in which they are being stored, I am concerned that these may constitute discarded or waste tires rather than properly stored usable tire inventory.
I am particularly concerned about the potential for the tires to collect standing rainwater. The open tires can act as containers for water and potentially create breeding habitat for mosquitoes and other disease vectors. The tire pile is also located immediately adjacent to a wooded/vegetated area and a creek/drainage corridor, which raises additional concerns about rodents, insects, snakes, and other wildlife using the tire pile for shelter or nesting.
The accumulation is also located very close to neighboring business property and appears to be immediately adjacent to the creek/drainage area. I am requesting that the City determine whether the storage area complies with the Bloomington UDO provisions governing vehicle-repair uses and outdoor storage of discarded tires/materials, as well as any applicable riparian-buffer, drainage, stormwater, floodplain, or environmental requirements.
I am also requesting that the City evaluate whether the manner in which these tires are being stored creates a nuisance, fire hazard, mosquito/vector concern, or other health or environmental concern, and whether the property owner/operator is required to remove, relocate, cover, or otherwise properly manage the tires.
I have photographs documenting the current condition and location of the tire accumulation.
I am not asking the City to assume that the tires are waste tires; I am requesting that the appropriate department inspect the property and make that determination based on the applicable Bloomington and Indiana requirements.
Thank you for investigating this matter. |

Number: 812.349.3420 I left a message this morning for Rob Counsel/Inspector I then spoke with reception and left a message with Jeremy Bettis, Director/Manager of Inspections as well I have NOT heard back, if I don’t hear back today then I will call again Monday for you guys I have tried calling the management company and it continuously goes to voicemail. I’m trying to get a hold of Barney Lewis, who seems to be the owner of the mgmt.. company. I recommend you don’t deal with Bobby, who Sarah claims you have in the past, he is just a maintenance tech who is told what to do. You need to get in touch with a property manager and Sarah is the one that handles this. |

Looks like it's (past) time to clear the junk out from under two of the spruces near the Bryan Park tennis courts. Maybe make it an item on the once-a-year to-do list: weed under all the spruce. It REALLY needs doing now and would be easier if done more frequently. |

There is a rental house that is being inhabited by 11 people. There are significant code violations that concern safety and habitation. There are wild bats flying around the interior of the house; there are downed high-voltage power lines; there are holes in the walls, ceilings, and other places throughout the house; there are no smoke detectors, nor are there carbon monoxide detectors. It is of the utmost urgency to have this place inspected. We have tried to work with management, and they are negligent in their response and concern. |

Subject: Urgent Safety, CPTED Failures, and Operational Chaos at Downtown Bloomington Transit Station
As someone who has relied on Bloomington Transit for decades, I am watching the new station rapidly deteriorate and fall into a severe state of decline. I am submitting this ongoing safety report regarding the downtown station during early morning, late evening, and weekend transfer times, where paying riders face persistent threats, intimidation, and sexual harassment from non-riding groups who have become territorial over seating and facilities.
Key Issues Requiring Immediate Action:
Environmental & Operational Failures (CPTED Violations): The station completely fails basic Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles. Even while active bus operating hours are underway, the main building is locked and supervision is nonexistent. Furthermore, because the station doubles as an unmanaged heating and cooling shelter, it creates severe crowding and confusion; during extreme weather, paying bus riders are left with nowhere to sit or shelter. This is all compounded by surrounding darkness, physical decay, hidden alcoves, and dark alleys.
The Circular "Pass-the-Buck" Bureaucracy: Bloomington Transit instructs riders to call 911, while 911 dispatch tells us to "just keep calling." When police are involved, they dismiss ongoing daily harassment as a "civil matter." When I took this up the chain, the deputy mayor gave me a cowardly shrug and passed the buck right back to Transit, ignoring the fact that I had already tried the police route with zero results.
The Irony of the "Unskilled" Workforce & Taxpayer Betrayal: Groups of non-riding men are growing larger, visibly outnumbering women in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. Because low-income hospitality workers and working women have predictable schedules, they are easily targeted. There is profound irony in expecting workers in low-wage, "unskilled" jobs to act as the city's default, crisis-trained 911 buffer. The city has abandoned both transit riders and individuals desperately needing mental health services onto the exact same unmonitored platform—forcing two competing, incompatible services onto city-owned property that I am both taxed for and paying bus fare to use.
Transit users are here to ride the bus safely, not to manage the fallout of unaddressed social service deficits or a "we can't arrest" policy. Bloomington Transit was not designed to double as an unsupported social services hub without oversight. I expect a concrete safety plan for this station, not another bureaucratic deflection.
The police were there again this morning for non bus commuters, and I will not stop reporting this. |

So, not actually graffiti but wasn't sure where to direct and it will be a similar power washer cleanup. On the brick sidewalk directly across the street from Showers someone poured white paint/mortar/??? down the storm drain and got it all over the brick sidewalk. I was hoping the recent rains would wash it off but no such luck. Thanks! |

Water Utility Problems |
open |
Our home and the houses around us have lost significant water pressure. We hired a plumber to look at the issue at our home thinking it was something wrong with our plumbing. They said this issue is coming up around the city and they think it's due to the new hydrants that were installed. This seems to make sense since there is a hydrant across the street from us that was recently replaced. We went from being able to have 3 showers running at one time to barely having enough water pressure for one to run immediately after these updates. The plumber suggested we contact the city to see what can be done since there's nothing they can do. Please let me know what our options are. Thanks. |
