Please I'm tired of the street racing in park ridge east late at night. They're at it again. Have called police before. Please put a speed bump in or have cops bust them or something.

Any idea what happened with the development that was going in on the Kmart off third? At one point a developer was holding talks. Would love to see some action there.
I'm not sure who would do this, but I think Bloomington, Indiana, needs to do a famous people of Bloomington historical exhibit somewhere. I learned today Mick Foley (a wrestling legend) is from Bloomington! Who knew! Why isn't this celebrated and out there in the public. Invite this man to give a speech or something!
Is there some tool to send comments to Council? Why are people who supposedly supporting affordable housing instead supporting elite neighborhood interests pretending that the very prospect of duplexes in the core of a city somehow destroys neighborhoods? What a joke. Way to help the rich stay rich at a time of extreme housing crisis. It's a flipping duplex in areas that they make sense, not a skyscraper or dump site. Please send to their offices my concern that they are but catering to the faux progressives more concerned with their net worth that has already exploded in those homes above community need.
Social Workers should NOT be reporting to police officers and police command. Stop being performative. Dispatch can be shared but social service calls should be handled separately by individuals who are accountable to their professional ethics and not a police force with inherently differentiated goals. Social workers should not exist for image control and saving money through less 911 calls, they should exist to help people, particularly the marginalized. Restructure before it's too late for these individuals to work WITH police, not for them. A shameful policy choice that you can still correct.
Hello. Is there a list of Pride Month (June) activities city government is sponsoring, hosting, or supporting in some way? Thank you.
The Kmart should definitely have housing but not ALL housing. That is a prime spot for community use. There should be a hotel or restaurant or some sort of component even a public park maybe? But not nothing but bedrooms :(.
Hello! Please relocate the people living in the many growing homeless camps along the B-line next to Switchyard Park. The day before yesterday, my mother was riding her bike early in the morning through Switchyard, and a crazy homeless guy was chasing people on a bike and swinging a baseball bat around. A mid-30s white homeless guy with wavy hair comes around our house about once a week (we live on 2509 S Camden) and gives my 3-year-old daughter and my pregnany wife dirty looks and yells obscenities. We are renting and the owner will not pay for fancy fences or security cameras. We cannot afford to pay for those either, as I am a graduate student. Many of my neighbors are also getting increasingly annoyed with homeless people trespassing and breaking into their cars. Me and my family feel unsafe on our own front porch. Please do something about this problem as it is getting worse. Best, Daniel Cueto daniel@danielcueto.com 812-803-8195
Hello. I'm following up with 175683. Does the City now have plans for how they'll be promoting the LGBTQ+ community for June (and beyond is great too)? Thank you.
If the City can host an event for Juneteenth, which is fantastic, it can host an event for Pride. Trans lives in particular are under attack right now. Let's celebrate the unique queer life Bloomington possesses. Thank you for considering. We can do more. Maybe even just an award for either LGBT activism and/or community contribution from a LGBT resident that can be part of a volunteer awards night or something that I believe Lucy Scaich hosts? Starting small is fine. But Bloomington Pride is not representative of everyone so it would be great for local government to be a player too.
