City pathway is popular sight for criminal activity such as: drug deals and use (used needles are common on stairs of city path), destruction of public and private property, fighting, littering, public urination and feces, and this year we've had two occurrences of people on the path discharging guns (~1pm last night was the most recent occurrence- see police report). The stairs on the path are unsafe and create a safe haven for criminal activity because the police can not pursue the suspects down the path or stairs. Instead the police have to drive around the block to try and head of the criminals and thus allows them to evade police. My community and the police officers are requesting that these dilapidated stairs and path be removed. They are public menace to our community and Bloomington society as a whole. Please help us protect our community by removing this criminal gateway into our neighborhood. My fellow community members and I will continue to post updates on our problems, interactions with criminal (e.g. death threats) and reporting of criminal activities associated with this path (including photos).

Garage door is almost fallen off of track, hanging to one side. Green moss/fungus growing all over front on west side of house. East side of house has cleaned graffiti markings that can still visibly say "Fuck You." House is one of Pendragon Properties' houses. How is Jeff Jones still allowed to rent in Bloomington after all these years of problems with him? How many court cases, HAND involvements, money owed does it take? Presumably, he most know someone. :( This really sucks having him in our neighborhood. The houses are always trashed, he treats his tenants like a slum lord would, and we all have to deal with are neighborhood going downhill because for whatever unjust reason, the city or courts can't probably deal with him. We don't want him or his business in this respectable, family neighborhood.

Once again the police have had to come into our area, following a street fight along the sidewalk between our homes. Just 2 nights ago shots were being fired less than 12ft. from my grandson's bedroom at 1am on that sidewalk. Police did find 1 of the 6 teens. Yesterday the fight landed two young adults in my driveway seeking refuge from an out of control violent young man. I'm disabled on crutches, and when I tried to stop the attacker from coming on my property he threatened serious harm to me and my grandson. Just before it got deadly, police with a K-9 arrived. Thank you BPD. The cut-thru sidewalk has become a danger and a menace to all of us and it is used mainly for bad activity. It needs to be closed, and the broken steps up to 12th street need to go. Many of us are elderly, disabled, and tired of these constant problems. City leaders NEED to come and see this area, and the trash, broken steps, empty drug needles, etc. We need help beyond having to call BPD all the time. Please take this seriously before someone is not just assaulted again, but perhaps shot. 2 gun incidents this spring is 2 too many. Thank You.

Hello - in front of City Hall there is a stone that I believe is a memorial for fallen officers. The light fixture in front of the stone was tipped over when I walked by Saturday at the market. It appeared to be broken, so it may need some repair work.

Several houses on Woodhill Drive have various issues from broken garage doors (see picture) to overflowing trash cans and mold growing on the siding. Caladbolg is listed as the owner of these properties. How can we keep them from letting their properties get like this! These owners are true slumlords and I would like to file a complaint.

Your homeless people problem within the city of Bloomington is out of control. It is ruining the city an it's image. Even Inpls TV news is bashing the city for it's pathetic attempt at dealing with the issue. People feel unsafe as do local students. Who gets the blame when something terrible does occur? The mayor's office has certainly known of this problem for quite some time now. It will be the mayor's office having to answer the questions of the victims whenever something does occur. Fix it. The people of Bloomington deserve better.
