Homeless people are again living in People’s Park. They’re using drugs, fighting, leaving trash everywhere, screaming and yelling, urinating and defecating and have taken over most of the benches and tables. It also appears that they are sleeping there overnight. We bought ice cream across the street and expected to have a nice Sunday afternoon in the park for thirty minutes or so… we tried sitting on the steps of a business on the opposite side of Dunn Street but the shrubbery nearby was probably soaked in urine based on the stench. We simply left at that point….. No other Indiana city of the same size and population has a homeless population of 1 % of that of Bloomington and that is directly attributable to the fact that Bloomington attracts these people by virtue of feeding them and enabling them unlike anywhere else in Indiana. I’ve lived in and near Bloomington since 1974 and this has simply gotten totally out of hand.

There are unsightly tall weeds growing along the curb where Sheridan meets 1st St. They result from the city not cleaning along the sides of the road, allowing accumulating debris/leaves/dirt to allow tall weeds to flourish. There is no house on that curve but I clicked on the general location.

Someone cut down a bunch of growth along the alley and left it there. It has been blocking the alley since before the weekend. Thank you for responding to this problem.

The bridge here on Allen is closed to car traffic, but still a vital link for cyclists over to the b-line. Problem is there is currently a lot of broken glass on and leading up to the bridge. Would it be possible to get this swept? That would be appreciated.

A gust of wind ripped away a tree limb on the red maple in front of my house and was blocking the sidewalk. I contacted the urban forester and left a message describing this situation, but didn't get a response. Eventually my housemates and I brought the limb down ourselves, but it still needs to be removed from the side of the road. Most of the debris has already been cleared except for the limb. We have enough firewood. Please remove the limb from the side of the road, thanks.

A truck apparently lost two loads of branches on Rogers Street. Motorists had to drive around them as they were blocking the road. Someone then placed them in our yard. We have no way of dealing with this.

The bike lane from East of the freeway to West of the freeway needs some clean-up. There is broken glass at a few points and gravel elsewhere.

Large limb and couple smaller limbs broke off and fell from city tree on south edge of my property at 1508 W. 11th St. I pulled them back so it would no longer block the sidewalk and be out of the road, but they need to be sawed up and removed. Also, it looks like the tree could use some pruning of other dead limbs to help prevent future issues. Your call on that, obviously. Thank you.
