N Smith and Morningside remains dangerous with many not stopping on N Smith. Yes per Planning signs may be "visible" per the book but doesn't mean people expect and abide by them there - flashers or other item especially to protect bikers crossing at Greenway needed. Though State intersection, N. Smith and 10th also remains dangerous for turns during heavy traffic.

there seeems to be a strong anti-asian sediment within bloomington and i have felt racially discriminated against by having services denied or prolonged due to purposeful errors. I have heard social workers make comments such as "I hoped he'd leave "and tell others seeking services not to talk with me and ignore him. I came here after completing residential rehab at hickory treatment in linton. At centerstone after waiting for insurance approval, which was granted, I was told they felt I only need peer support- not the outpatient treatment that's always a follow up to inpatient and housing etc along side. I went to shalom where i was already on the national permanent supportive housing list for at list a year in Indiana but originally qualified do to homelessness in Kentucky. I also needed Photo i.d- cost of $11.50- without which i can do nothing. This was in january with it taking 3 weeks(notified them of return twice do to incomplete paperwork and then incorrect amount) for the check to be cut. On second week now waiting for check. As stated earlier i was already approved for housing on national list and been on local list for 3 months. I know people start fresh and already been housed and people lose their housing and get re-housed while I still at wheeler mission.This was at shalom center and I filed a complaint with the attorney general on the issued with my I.D At wheeler i get kinding blowed off. I went the food stamp office to get aid but my case worker there didnt send the fax correctly so my case was closed. Meanwhile I know that theres mostly donated so the food may switched up during serving but definately have gotten smaller portions and food that been grossly overcooked.As the only asian in this situation i have to say its definately discrimatory action at all three place-all verifiable. I really want to rally against these actions and my treatment- as homeless and an individual felt it would go unheard- Come to find out at IU there a group of medical students called MAPS i believe that are mostly asian and have felt discrimation in bloomington also. I only feel it fair to notify you as you may not even be aware and give you the oppertunity to correct the situation. I pray the you can react in a timely manner and contact me shortly with solutions on this matter. James Hale 812-671-8665

Over the weekend there was a situation at Kroger seminary square where a security officer tazed somebody. I am aware a business is responsible for their own property. However, the seminary square area and seminary square Kroger has become increasingly problematic. Kroger is a large tax paying/job creating business in Bloomington and as a patron of Kroger I feel that the city needs to take responsibility for creating the problems most notably around the Kroger Seminary Square. (Drug usage, public intoxication, public nudity, pan handeling, vandalism, stealing, littering, illegal trespassing, etc). All these criminal activities (being ignored bc city politics have told the police/prosecutors to ignore) in the surrounding areas are spreading unjustly into this downtown Kroger. The city needs to quit passing the blame and own up to the environment they have created. I urge city officials to crack down on these problems and come up with a real solution to fix these problems. Local business should not have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on security bc you cannot provide a safe community!

The park at 2nd and Walnut and the Kroger behind it are becoming a great concern to many people in the neighborhood off of 2nd street. In the last 3 weeks at Kroger I have witnessed a violent incident and been aggressively approached by many people from the park for money, food, and other things. Even in Indianapolis where there are 10x the amount of homeless persons, I have never been approached so aggressively and violently. It is the opinion of many people on this campus that this park and the people in it represent a huge liability for the city. There is a campus of 55,000+ students of which half are young women. Walking in this area at night is not safe and there is open drug use everywhere in the park and surrounding corners. Of the 55,000+ students of which half are female this is a frightening area to be in and the city needs to ensure the safety of its citizens in this area.

I see several issues not being taken care of due to technicalities. (Private property) Mostly related to the homeless population. I want to remind you of your responsibilitie to take care of these problems BEFORE they land on private citizens/retailers property. I also urge the city to stop taking monetary incentives from the state to house/rehabilitate people thoughout the state of Indiana when Bloomington very obviously doesn’t do a good job at helping these people! It is sad to see these people not getting the help they need and living on the streets.

Street racer just went by on E Morningside Dr. We have significant concerns as a neighborhood with the Mayor not running again on what is going to happen with our Greenway improvements. Please make sure these happen, sooner than the better. You all are appreciated!

Just a few things that the city seems to be ignoring: why is there still a sign at Building Trades Park pointing to the now non-existent emergency department on Second Street? Why do Transit buses still post notices in August informing passengers that Sunday rides will be free in the spring of 2023? Why does transit have a display case downtown with the heading “Memories” that contains not traditional memories but legal notices? And why does the mayor still include a link for donations to his mayoral campaign in his monthly Let’s Keep in Touch emails?
