I live near the entrance to the Switchyard Park. It is where I walk almost daily. I have noticed that the beautiful flower beds are full of weeds, some as tall or taller than the flowers. The last two years there were crews weeding and clearing on a regular basis but I haven't seen them this year. It seems a shame to have planted the beautiful flowers only to have weeds take over the beds.
Thank you for receiving this information. I'd appreciate knowing if the flower beds will be tended to.

Homeless people of seminary park have stolen 4-5 shopping carts and have their crap in them. Please send police to deal with these people, issue tickets and return shopping carts to the local merchants. Thanks!

Previous report (185419) says the city returns “abandoned” shopping carts when found. The real issue is the homeless (seminary park) are using these shopping carts and nobody is confronting them about stealing these shopping carts from local merchants. Just today (9/6/23) I saw multiple “city workers” at seminary park while people there had shopping carts full of crap but nobody doing anything about the issue. These are not the property of these people just because they stole them. Merchants aren’t selling these shopping carts. These are obviously stolen and the people need held accountable and the shopping carts returned. Thanks!!!

Vandals are destroying the pine trees next to the beginning of the concrete trail by the playground in RCA park. Would signage more security help. Older kids are not supervised here.

One toilet (the non-handicap stall) in the women’s bathroom at Bryan Park is continuously flushing. Bumping the handle was not enough to un jam it.

Forward to Mayor and whoever is involved in approving this.
Same sex restrooms at Switchyard park?!! Seriously?
I am a lifelong resident of Bloomington of 66 years. I am absolutely appalled at the restrooms being open to whatever sex wants to use them with each other. I had no idea until I visited for the first time and had to use the restroom. My mouth dropped when I read the signs on both sides of the building. What is wrong with the people doing this? For the love of God, put in women and men’s restrooms!
The leadership in Bloomington is absolutely rotten in allowing women and children to share a restroom with males. I refuse to ever go to that park or any future park again that allows this. It’s obviously a democratic agenda that has destroyed the town of Bloomington.
Keep men out of women and children’s restrooms! Where did you people come from to do such a thing and risk women and children to be sexually assaulted or preyed upon? We want to feel safe and comfortable when we use the restroom. Sick.

We joined an event Sunday, 9/17. It was advertised as a muscial event at the Main Performance Stage. I had several handicapped people to transport there. There was NO map of Switchyard park. There was no accessibility information. There was no information about a drop off place for people in wheelchairs or walkers. A map showing walkways, accessibility entrances, and all venues for Switchyard is needed!
