What is going on with catlytic convertors being stolen in this town? Two were just stolen in my neighborhood. Seems like this shouldn't be a problem in a small college town. Have you all investigated the places in town where these could be being sold on a black market?
At 900 N Curry Pike, behind our Fire Station there is a homeless camp that is by the railroad tracks. The people living there are causing issues such as drug use, leaving dirty needles laying around, trash all over, and stealing from residence at the park. The Fire Station does not have cameras which they need. They need some kind of security due to these people being right behind them. Someone needs to look into this issue ASAP.
There is a bag of syringes outside the library near the Bears.
Homeless encampment in the woods on what I can only gather is public land but I'm not sure if someone owns it. They have completely trashed the area in and around these woods. They do drugs, are loud and dangerous. They have a bunch of cars and trash on N Summit close to the woods they stay in. There is trash all around the vehicles. I don't think they should be allowed to trash the neighborhood and cause issues.
At the end of North street there are people living in a tent behind the mobile home, there is trash everywhere, and traffic day and night. They have barracades up so noone can turn around.
Query the status of #180653, first reported on July 15, 2022. Nothing has changed since then. Cases Locations Report a problem open #180653 Other: 420 Eastside Drive has been for years and still is a junk yard. There are several vehicles that have not moved in ages, there is trash in the yard (empty soda cans, beverage container). How about City Ordinance 15.16.020 (6): a vehicle that is six or more model years old and mechanically inoperable, and is left on private property continuously in a location visible from public property for more than thirty days.
Likely that RV next to house is being lived in. It is parked in the yard not on a driveway.
Person has been living in an RV in the alley for most of the year. Lots of " personal items" have accumulated. There have been instances of domestic abuse here as well.
Greetings. In my experience, as well as observations, it does not appear that there is much, if any, enforcement of the Hands-Free Driving state law that went into effect in 2019 in the City of Bloomington. There also doesn't seem to be much accountability to that law as in my experience, the person who rear-ended me told the BPD officer she hit me because she was looking at her phone, but following too close was on the citation and not distracted driving. Why is that? I was told that he didn't want to put more than one reason down. Well, why not distracted driving as that is what she admitted to? Also, there doesn't seem to be any sort of a public safety education campaign in any way... I could imagine that the social media accounts would be a great place for a weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly Public Safety Announcement (PSA) for some friendly reinforcement, reminders, remedial lessons, etc. about the laws that provide structure around driving a couple ton heavy potentially lethal machine around these safe and civil streets. I think Bloomington motorists need a few reminders on some general laws about operating a motor vehicle, especially the hands-free driving state law. Can someone please speak a bit to this concern of mine? Much obliged for your time.
There’s an abandoned van in this parking lot. The van’s door is open.Vagrants are living in this van. An arm was hanging out of the door in the van today-I guess someone was passed out in there. There’s trash all around it. This is located in the Railroad Park neighborhood behind Switchyard Park. It is directly behind Eye of the Needle-this is the 3rd complaint I made to the Bloomington Police Department about this occurrence.
