See tix 187165. Local merchants don’t flood the community with criminals, mental health patients, and drug users that are responsible these carts being abandoned all over town…the city does!! Like all the other issues in this town, local government passes the blame on others (property owners)….hard working tax paying citizens and employers! Stop accepting state money for rehabilitation of all the states delinquents! I highly advocate for people to lawyer up take action against this city with answers like that!!!!

If you can “like” post, 187191 would have thousands of likes!!!!! Along with all the post about the city being passive towards the homeless camps, trash, shopping carts, bike parts, etc… and other issues involving the transient population in town!

Can someone provide an update on the Morningside Greenway installation? We're excited and believe it was intended for spring, but didn't know if a more solid date is now chosen. Workers were walking the street the other day looking at trees.

As much as I appreciate the efforts recently with the taking down and clean up of the homeless encampment, I still have to urge the city to do something about the stolen shopping carts throughout the town. In the video with the major cleaning up the camp you can see several stolen shopping carts. Even pictures of the homeless using them and moving them to their new location is shown. They are all over town from multiple different tax paying merchants. The homeless freely use these carts and abandom them at will without any repercussions. You can see city workers and police officers not even acknowledge them when they are seen (from advice from the city). I hope this changes with the new administration!

Citizens of Bloomington want it noted now that we disagree with the following new location for the proposed county jail. This will still be a partnership with the City as there is a need for added city services. As seen in Herlad Times: “Commissioners criticized for slow progress on Monroe County Jail solution - By Boris Ladwig, The Herald-Times” This is a rural and mixed urbanized area in the county. Those communities to the northwest feel the same as the previous venture to the southwest of Bloomington. Those neighborhoods are equally as important and the policy makers in the City need to hear that there is dissent and ensure they make it clear that we do not support this. Thank you

Please note dissent of the newly proposed location for the Monroe county jail to the northwest of Bloomington (still Bloomington address). Do not ruin this wonderful community area that has greater potential than a jail complex! This dissent amongst Bloomington citizens and visitors to the area alike needs to be noted to city council members, Bloomington transit, and administration for any future coordination of this County Jail. This would be a failure of community planning to the highest degree!

I live on Woodburn Ave. An on Wednesday March 20th around 930am the person driving this city vehicle not only was driving way to fast down my street where kids live and play. But while out putting markings down was loudly talking/yelling to himself I assume, but it was foul language that I would not want my child to hear and possibly repeat. I know in my field of work, when you clock in you are representing your place of work. I am shocked that this is the way the city is representing out in the public eye.

The city really needs to use something besides Facebook for notifications about public safety issues. Residents should not be required to use that platform to receive timely information. There was a major gas leak today and apparently that was the only place it was posted. People were unaware.

Residents growing concerned about the force fit of the north west side of county for new jail complex location. Is the city council and administration working to advocate for a more centralized area? This should not be placed to impact commuters, the adjacent retirement homes and elderly and minor care facilities nearby, in addition to various homes and the adjacent community to this “north park” location. The south side of Bloomington received backing to prevent the rezone and placement of the facility there, which arguably is a better location than this new proposal! Will the Council and Administration be stepping up to get the County to consider alternate plans and locations? The karsts, adjacent quarries, and potential for park land to the north west should be considered as high priority instead of an incarceration center. We’re not in favor of increasing the jail size or this location!
