Thank you for the report, we will monitor this and look at possibly installing a larger container if needed
Other: I am the President of the Board of Trustees at Unity of Bloomington. Our parking lot is partially owned by us, and partially City property as the B-Line runs behind our building on S. Rogers & Gordon Pk. (We currently maintain the entire parking lot vis-a-vis snow removal etc.) Recent changes, especially in Switchyard Park, have precipitated a migration of unhoused persons south on the B-Line trail. The UoB parking lot has become a stop-over for derelict vehicles and we're experiencing a significant increase in loitering and trash. The Board of Trustees recognizes that this is an important ministry opportunity, and we are engaged in prayerful consideration of reasonable steps forward. In the meantime, we host a nursery school in our facility and safety is an ongoing concern. My current request is this: 1. Could we receive help from the City to secure a larger trash barrel than the small trail-sized container currently in place near our parking lot (and would it be up to us or the City to tend it)? 2. Could the City help by providing a cigarette butt receptacle for our parking lot? (My husband and I collected more than 100 cigarette butts from the Unity parking lot before services last Sunday) 3. Are there any other recommendations or resources the City might provide in a situation such as this? Thank you for any advice and assistance you can provide, Joanie Spain UoB Board President

Joanie - thanks for reaching out. I'm going to assign this uReport to Mark Marotz, who oversees our operations for parks. He can discuss the potential to place a larger trash receptacle (hopefully temporarily) at this location to help with the increase of trash. I'm also forwarding your message directly to the Mayor's office as they are leading efforts on homelessness in Bloomington and may want to be in touch on your other questions. I gave them your e-mail address. Thank you and please keep us posted.
