Other: I tried to use this area to have a quick meeting with colleagues before going to an appointment at a business on the square. This area was unavailable due to the mess. Balloons, needles, beverage cans, etc. (The yoga mat is mine.) Further, these benches are damaged and appear to be unmaintained. I then moved to the corner of the square where no needles were visible. There I was immediately solicited by panhandlers twice. All of this is unacceptable and I hope to see these areas cleaned and maintained on a proper schedule. The frequency with which I am required to defend myself physically against panhandlers here is becoming unbearable. It is unsafe to be downtown in Bloomington, Indiana.
The issue in question was located on the Monroe County Courthouse grounds - referred them to contact the Monroe County government facilities team.
The Monroe Courthouse building grounds are maintained and operated by the Monroe County government. If you ever experience problems or issues like this on the Courthouse grounds, please notify the Monroe County Courthouse Maintenance team at (812) 349-2550. Thank you
