Most Recent Incident Report: Downtown Terminal SafetyAround 6:30 AM, while waiting for the 3 East bus, I experienced a severe safety issue at the downtown terminal. The building was locked, forcing commuters onto the outdoor platform in the pitch black. I was one of only two women present, surrounded by ten or more men with bed rolls and duffel bags loitering with no intention of boarding a bus. Men constantly emerged from and disappeared into the adjacent alleys and around dark corners. I was purposely avoiding the bench to stand alone away from everyone, but one man went well out of his way to repeatedly walk directly in front of and behind me to test my boundaries. I faced intense, intimidating staring and was forced to stare him down to protect myself.Systemic Context & Ongoing Safety ConcernsThis is not an isolated event; it is a daily, terrifying pattern. Transit drivers are hired to drive buses, and hospitality workers are simply trying to get to their jobs. We are pillow flippers and burger flippers, not paid or volunteer social workers, crisis managers, investigators, or martial artists. It is entirely unfair to dump people who clearly need specialized supervision onto a bus station. Just because the city already owns the transit center does not mean it can use it to avoid paying for a proper heating and cooling shelter. The city cannot just assume that everyday commuters will act as the default safety net to call 911 whenever someone has a medical issue or an episode. Every day, women are forced to arrive at work with their hearts racing due to a total lack of security, poor facility management, and a hostile environment. While I have empathy for everyone's situation, paying riders should not have to navigate an unsupervised gauntlet just to use public transit.

Why can't the City urge AT@T to remove the many junction boxes like this one, which are all over town and may pose an electrical hazard to man and beast?

I’m wondering when the city is going to smooth something about the illegal camping inside, outside, and all around RCA park and in the woods north of Cherokee Dr. There is a continuous line of homeless, all day and night, with luggage, carts, and camping gear going back through the neighborhoods. They scream, fight, harass, and throw garbage everywhere and the mayor let them camp here so they still think it’s ok even though it is clearly illegal. They’ve also been burning garage and plastic the past 4 nights, which wait for it, is also illegal. Seriously, the mayor ran on addressing this problem and letting them destroy a different neighborhood is not a solution. We have little to no police presence over here and these people have been breaking multiple laws including trespassing as well. What are you guys doing about any of this?

Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Conduct at Recent Bloomington Transit Board Meeting To: Office of the Mayor, City of Bloomington, Indiana I am writing this formal complaint through the UReport system to express deep concern regarding the lack of professionalism and the inappropriate conduct displayed at the recent Bloomington Transit Board of Directors meeting. While the Board is entitled to make its own decisions regarding management and leadership, the way this specific meeting was handled was a disservice to the public. In particular, I am specifically addressing the statements made by Board Member Don Griffin. During the proceedings, Mr. Griffin made disparaging remarks regarding City Public Works, specifically questioning why there would be a “maintenance man here.” This comment was elitist, disrespectful, and entirely inappropriate for a public meeting. All departments in this city contribute to our community’s success, and for a board member to publicly belittle the presence of a maintenance professional is unacceptable. The atmosphere of the meeting was unprofessional and did not reflect the values of the City of Bloomington. While I respect the fact that a decision was reached by the Board and I am not here to dispute that outcome, I believe the manner in which it was handled was wrong. The public deserves a board that conducts itself with dignity and shows respect for all classifications of residents and workers. I also wish to acknowledge, as a member of the community, my personal belief that RATP Dev and Mr. John Connell made meaningful positive contributions to Bloomington and to Bloomington Transit. Regardless of the Board’s decision, I believe their work and service to the community deserve to be recognized and treated with respect. I am submitting this as a public comment to ensure that the Mayor’s office is aware of how these board members are representing our city. I hope that the administration will address this conduct and ensure that future meetings are conducted with the respect and professionalism that our community deserves. Respectfully submitted anonymously, A Concerned Resident of Bloomington
