City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #189013

Trails:

Other: June 16, 2024: In the evening the homeless camp on the Rail Trail north of Gordon Pike smelled as if it was burning trash. The smoke was heavy in the area and smelled like burning trash. The City should not be allowing the homeless to openly burn trash on property that is owned by the City along the Rail Trail. This needs to be shut down immediately as it is hazardous to the health of everyone in the are.

Thanks for the report. From a Parks perspective, we are aware of the encampments on nearby property and are working with the Administration, BPD, and other departments on a response to the issue, which is unfortunately not isolated to this area either. Last week notice was posted for removal of these camps; city leaders and BPD Resource Officers are working to coordinate the appropriate connection of resources and clean up of this area. I do not yet have a date when cleanup will occur. Thank you for your report and please keep us posted of any further issues.
