There is graffiti all the way down the sidewalks on Smith Ave, between Lincoln and Henderson Streets. The graffiti says "FTP" and "F12" which means "F*ck the Police." I am a student and just moved in. I heard Bloomington is very welcoming, but this graffiti did not make me feel welcome. I hope it can be removed before classes start and more students come back.
There are two swastikas spray painted on utility boxes in the alleyway attached to the Osteria Rago building. I notified the restaurant on 1/19/22 and nothing has been done about it still.
Graffiti on wall mural
Grafitti all over the Duke walls and neighboring structures has been there WAY too long. Please clean it up
Mural in People's Park was damaged
What are the city's plans to remove the "Black Lives Matter" paint from the commissioned mural on the side of the Bicycle Garage facing People's Park? While I support and empathize with the BLM movement, I am concerned that the city has not addressed this year-old defacing of the mural. Recently random graffiti has also been painted on this mural, making the problem worse. Can you advise me if this mural will be restored to its original condition?
Fence is painted with YASHUA.
Someone I know posted on Snapchat a picture of his girlfriend standing in front of the Lower Cascades Waterfall with the words "I love you" spray painted on the rock. He spray painted the wall which is an eyesore and contains algae and other living organisms.
Greetings. On a daily basis I commute as a pedestrian through my neighborhood. Part of my route involves the view of an entire length of a building filled with phrases such as, LETS WRECK SHIT, Hot For Crime, and LOSER. I wrote a letter over a year ago politely requesting the property owner remedy this. Additionally, I suggested they consider planting a hedgerow of sorts to restrict people's access to the wall. I have not received a reply, and no action has been taken. Can the city please address this? Also, There is graffiti all over the wall directly across from this but that is more offensive on a subjective level. Ultimately, both properties are owned by the same entity, and it would be really great if they maintained their property in a way that made the streets of Bloomington feel safe and civil. Thank you.
