City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #187833

Trails:

Other: Around 3pm on Friday, March 29, 2024, a vehicle was parked on the gravel road parallel to the Rail Trail north of Gordon Pike. A little bit later, passing by again, there were homeless people unloading items from the car it appeared. This car would have had to drive on the multi-use path along Gordon Pike to get onto the gravel road. As of 8am 3/30/24, the vehicle is still parked at the homeless camp. The City needs to do something about these camps. There are gasoline powered bikes traveling the Rail Trail and gravel road with little regard for pedestrians, tons of trash from Gordon Pike to Country Club Drive, and now free parking at the camp sites. The problems started when the homeless moved south and it is getting worse by the week. This is on City-owned property. This makes the Rail Trail less safe for everyone. Clear the camps out. The City needs to take action before someone is seriously hurt by the growing problem the City allows to fester. It is only a matter of time.

Downtown Resource Officers are visiting this area frequently to check in on these issues, and the Parks Department will be placing new limestone at the south end of the gravel road (parallel to the rail trail) to prevent some of the recent drive-in access that has been occurring. The area is a mix of public and private property and City officials are reviewing further this week.
