Just curious if it's normal if homeless take baths in the splash pad for kids. I watched this on 7-5-23. I find it disturbing and disgusting.. Something has to be done with the amount of transients at Switchyard. They have over run Seminary, rails to trails,parking lots,corners and sidewalks.. I don't fill safe taking my family downtown any longer.. Something has to change...

There is a fence between Meadowood and Griffey Preserve. The fence is laying on the ground with broken wires, fence posts are breaking off. Is it okay to remove the broken/bent fence between the properties. This fence is behind 1013 and 1015 Sassafras in Meadowood. I'd be happy to show someone what I'm trying to describe. Thank you, Diana Dupree

I am writing to bring your attention to a serious safety concern at the entrance of the Winslow Sports Park in Bloomington, Indiana, specifically the lack of a sidewalk and clear crosswalk on Highland Avenue. As a concerned resident and frequent park user, I would like to request immediate action to address this issue to prevent potential accidents and injuries.
On [date], I had two close encounters where I almost got hit by cars speeding into the park and not paying attention to pedestrians. This alarming situation made me realize the imminent danger that exists for both pedestrians and drivers. Given that the park is designed to promote pedestrian activity, it is essential to create a safe and accessible environment for all users, especially considering the large neighborhood across the street.
I kindly request the following actions to be taken as soon as possible:
1. Construction of a Sidewalk: I urge you to install a sidewalk along Highland Avenue leading up to the entrance of Winslow Sports Park. This would provide a designated path for pedestrians and separate them from vehicular traffic, ensuring their safety.
2. Installation of a Clear Crosswalk: It is imperative to establish a clearly marked crosswalk at the park entrance, complete with visible signage and pedestrian indicators. This would serve as a visual cue for drivers to yield to pedestrians and encourage safer crossing.
By addressing these concerns promptly, we can prevent any potential accidents and injuries that may arise from the current hazardous situation. Moreover, enhancing the accessibility and safety of the park would further encourage pedestrian engagement and contribute to the overall well-being of our community.
I kindly request that you consider the urgency of this matter and allocate the necessary resources to implement these changes. I am also willing to collaborate with the appropriate departments or community organizations to help facilitate the process and ensure a successful outcome.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I believe that with your support, we can create a safer environment for all park users and foster a greater sense of community. I look forward to hearing from you soon regarding the proposed course of action.

A request to install a dog waste station at the Park Ridge park.
We have discussed preliminary logistics with staff member Joanna Sparks when she met with us on a related parks initiative. We believe the station will be well utilized and maintained by our park custodial staff member. He provides good consistent service by the way. Please consider this request, placed in a shady area maybe at the base of the ADA path close to the street circle level. We have many dog walkers in the area so it will be appreciated. Thank you -

This signpost with info, I think, about the dino bench, has been in this vandalized state for months, maybe a year or more. I would suggest fixing it. If the risk of vandalism makes that not worth doing, maybe remove the whole things. Thanks!
