Hello, I live near the Building Trades Park. For at least the past six weeks, the shelter nearest the playground has been consistently occupied by the same three to six individuals. They are most likely homeless. About three weeks ago, they became violent with our neighbors, and the police were called twice. Two individuals in the group displayed a knife and a metal pole. Arguments seem to keep breaking out. These individuals also frequently have one to two dogs with them, which are not leashed. If other residents wished to use this shelter, they cannot. This group is there from at least 7am (when I leave my house in the mornings) until the park closes around 11pm. I don't feel safe knowing that this group has claim "turf" as if the shelter is their home. I've voiced my concerns with a Park Department Employee who told me that the group is entitled to stay there. This is a public park, not their home. I have lived on Howe Street for the past two years, and this has never been a problem. However, I do not feel safe anymore. Please address this issue. Thank you for your time.

I looked over ordinances and the site at length and could not find what I was looking for. Is there some ordinance about people's animals taking a S@#$ on your yard all the @#$% time? A few folks are considerate enough to bring tools to pick it up, but we are finding this is not the case all too often. People walk their dogs and simply let them S@#% in our yard. This is nonsense. If it happened 1 , 2 times a year, so be it, but that is not the case. If there is no formal ordinance on such matters, so be it, but I thought I would check before anyone was confronted.

Hello, I wanted to find out information on temporary rentals in Bloomington; services like airbnb, vrbo, and others. Is there information online or could you direct me who to contact about rules/regulations/taxes? I have a second question; I would like to convert my 2-car garage into a studio apartment; can direct me to finding out more about permitting and rules/regulations? Thanks for your help!

Meters, Today is government holiday so I thought the meters would be off. However I found it wasn't the case. Some meters read "free parking" and some read the regular about and running times. I wanted to check to see if your website mention that the meters were running the webpage cited the holidays and dates the meters were off but today wasn't mentioned. I paid $3.00 just to be safe because I rather pay now than have a $50 tickets. However I feel that the meter should be constant and that you web page give a clear answer. Thank you for your time, Ashley

I am on the Gentry Qtrs.HOA board and wanted to compliment and thank the work crew who fixed the water leak at Gentry Quarters Condominiums on College Mall Road on 10/20/2015. The crew did a great job of fixing the leak and cleaning up the muddy mess that was the result and did so in a reasonable time. Its nice to see that kind of service from our city workers.

Failure of bloomington police department to respond to create an incident report of a serious health threat. On Oct. 28 at approximately 12:45 pm I ordered a sandwich from wichwich sandwich store on East Kirkwood ave and ask them to not place bacon on the sandwich because I have mammalian meat allergy, an allergy to all mammal meat that causes anaphylaxis. I went back to work at 517 E. Kirkwood Ave. and began to eat and after a few bites discovered there was bacon on the sandwich. I immediately returned to wichwich and they apologized for the mistake, admitting their error. I called bloomington police to fill out an incident report because anaphylaxis in mammalian meat allergy occurs 5-7 hours after consumption, when I will be at home 12 miles away from a hospital. If I have to go to the emergency room and receive any resultant care or if there is any medical or health damage - LIKE DEATH - due to this error, I wanted a police report that included the statements from the employees that they had heard my request and erred, so as to be able to support any need for costs and damages that will occur. The bloomington police department refused to send an officer to the scene. I learned this after I called the police department back after waiting 40 minutes at the store. The sergeant on duty as shift commander who refused to send a unit to the scene was Rashe. there is no place on this city website to lodge a complaint, only a place to offer compliments.....right....So what a wonderful city; hopefully my child won't be without a father after tonight.

It is disturbing to be in our neighborhood right now because we have a female deer that I have written about before who has a dangling rear right leg and a broken hip. She had 3 fawns this summer, but yesterday we only saw 1 fawn with her. She is in heat right now, and there is a male buck chasing her incessantly. We saw them 3 times in our neighborhood yesterday late afternoon. If the buck mounts her, she will probably end up severely damaged because she cannot take his weight with her broken hip/leg. And if she happens to survive...I doubt she will survive birthing a fawn or two next spring. I don't enjoy seeing animals suffer this much living in a city where deer aren't really supposed to be living. This would be a different issue had it been in the country. Bloomington has a deer problem and I wonder if it will take a killing of a child before anything gets done. Numerous of my friends have had their dogs attacked by deer, children attacked by deer and a deer went rampant inside a resident's home. Please advise....

My house is only serviced by one internet service provider AT&T but I know my neighbors have the choice of Comcast as well. Is it legal for me to only have one option? Do I have any power to pursue Comcast as an internet service provider option? It seems unfair to me that I would not have options.
