re: ticket 202706 you should very much allow this area to remain unmown. it makes the trail very pleasant to walk down and provides valuable habitat for butterflies and lightning bugs amongst other things. turning this into a barren, empty, mown field is just silly.
We were at Upper Cascades Park with our daughter, and we saw a syringe on the playground.

Loud motorcycles and radios after 10 pm at night. This is occurring at 1600 N Willis Drive around Trailer 150.
We are concerned about the 2 junk cars (dark purple and white) left on the driveway of 1058 S Colchester Ct Bloomington IN that the owners do not use. Problem 1: The windows of one of the junk cars have been compromised and the junk car could become a source of rodent infestation. We spot dead mice in outdoor spaces in neighboring properties. Problem 2: Overcrowding of the cul-de-sac. The 1058 household has 6 cars altogether: 2 junk cars on the driveway, 2 more cars on the driveway, and 2 additional cars on the public areas of the cul-de-sac throughout the day and night, even though the HOA does not allow street parking during the night hours. Problem 3: The front yard is in disarray. There is thick growth taking over the front and side of 1058 and the grass is not mowed.
Caller to HAND reported that overwhelming amount of trash in the backyard, the garage door is open with garbage in it and there is a gas can amongst the garbage in yard.
I am a 30-plus-year resident of Bloomington. Ten years ago, my wife and I decided to move out to the County because of the rising crime and homeless people issues in the City. We have tried on many occasions to bring our family downtown for dinner, ice cream, etc. Every time we do, we encounter issues with homeless people. Last night (Tuesday, May 13th), we tried once again to enjoy the downtown area of our City. I arrived downtown first and had arranged to meet my family at Dave's Hot Chicken. As I was waiting outside, a homeless man stumbled out of the restaurant carrying food that someone had bought for him. This man was so intoxicated that he dropped his food on the ground and dropped a bag of other items he had. An innocent college-age girl tried to help him pick up the dropped items, and the man barked at her. She quickly moved away. The man then sat down at an outdoor table, took a bite of the chicken, and threw it on the ground. He then picked it up and began eating it again. I went in the restaurant and told the manager about this incident and said I had planned on meeting my family there for dinner, but have now changed our mind about eating there. I went across the street and stood in front of the library to wait for my family. Instantly, another homeless man approached me and asked for money> I told him in a stern voice to keep walking, when he began to harass me about not giving him money. This time my voice was in a demanding voice that he walk away, in which he did. After that guy walked away, another homeless man walked past me, talking to himself loudly, saying he had invented a carbon fiber rocket ship that Putin was going to pay for, and it would not cost the US any money. When he saw that I was not paying attention to him, he stopped and yelled towards me about his invention. I again in a demanding voice that he keep walking, which he did. My family had arrived and as we were talking about where to have dinner at, another homeless man had walked into Dave's Hot Chicken. While he was in there, the original homeless man who was intoxicated at Daves, attempted to steal the other homeless guys blankets and items. This caused both homeless men to get into an argument. We (my family decided to go to Ellettsville for dinner, far away from downtown. This is an absolute disgrace to our City when a family can not enjoy an evening in our downtown area. Bloomington needs to be more like Martinsville's downtown area. There are several varieties of restaurants and shops downtown in Martinsville. NO HOMELESS PEOPLE, and it's clean and inviting. Downtown Bloomington is a disgrace.
Hello! I live at 1020 e Thornton, but I noticed this area off Huntington Dr. Has a HUGE amount of Japanese knotwood, which is a highly invasive plant. I was wondering if any action could be taken to try to eradicate it before it takes over the entire neighborhood? We also have plenty of other invasives around...perhaps you could guide me on any resources to address this. Thanks so much!!

White vehicle with a trailer attached to it parked for more than 2 hours at this address. The length of the vehicle and trailer combined is way over 19 ft (see Ord. 15.32.070). On top of that, the trailer has a license plate that has not been updated since 2019.
