City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #189025

Trails:

Other: This was reported as a fire hazard, and also being reported as a trails issue to keep the parks dept updated on the activity along the Rail Trail. Large fire at 10:10pm on June 19, 2024, in the woods along the Rail Trail. The homeless camp on City-owned property (according to the GIS) is burning a large, open fire this evening. This is on the Rail Trail north of Gordon Pike maybe 0.3 to 0.4 miles, east and south of the Terrace Drive area. This is a significant hazard to the City property and neighboring private property. The fires need to stop and the camps need to be cleared out immediately before the homeless burn acres of woods, fences, sheds, houses, trailers -- anything in the vicinity could go up in flames soon.

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.
