There is a "tent" structure in the front yard of this property. The legal owner is deceased and her adult children occupy this house without paying taxes. The homeless people who congregate here do not have access to a bathroom or sewage system. The property is littered with clothing and trash. This property has been under an abatement, which I believe ended when the property was sold recently at the Treasurer's tax sale. This property continues to be an eyesore and a health concern from feces & urine (from lack of restroom access), as well as rodent & insect investations. I have also seen needles from drug use scattered on the road in the past.

Abandon garage/building at Orris and W. Cottage Grove. Overgrown vegetation, dumping, attracting transients AGAIN. Out of town owner. No work has been done on the lot in a year. We are trying so hard to clean up this neighborhood. The continued neglect of this property attracts dumping, drug use and the criminal element... at the expense of taxpaying neighbors and tenants that surround it. Please address this issue, it is the last problem property in the immediate area.

Hi, apologies if this isn’t the correct place for this, but I need to express my concern. Over the last year or so, I’ve taken more of an interest in City Council meetings and have been watching them on CATS when I can. I’ve noticed an odd…phenomenon(?). From what I’ve observed, council members more or less attack (sorry for lack of better term) city-hired consultants when they’re presented with information that they don’t agree with. Tonight’s community survey results being the latest example. It almost seemed like multiple members of council were suggesting that a firm be hired based on their ability to provide the data they preferred, rather than proven surveying methods. Again, this may just be me, but the aggressive questioning and more or less insulting of the “expert” was very off-putting. It happened with Hopewell presentations, too. Why does council feel the need to attack and then soap box? Everything feels knee-jerk and emotion based. I just wish there was more level-headed, unbiased conversation in these meetings. Like, these are the people making decisions for their voters but so many of their speeches are about them personally and may mention constituents, but in a very flippant way (if that makes sense). Anyway, it’s just concerning to me. These people are supposed to be representatives of the residents of Bloomington and therefore Bloomington itself, yet do not hesitate to make offensive comments to people hired to ultimately help the city become better. At what point does Bloomington just get the reputation of no one wanting to work with/for us because council is more or less abusive if they aren’t given information/data they agree with? Sorry if this just comes off as a rant—I truly hope it finds its way to some welcoming ears and eyes. And maybe, just maybe, inspires some change. I will use my singular vote each election cycle and hope for the best, in the meantime.

This has been reported multiple times. This structure keeps growing, and it looks like they are about to make additions.

Follow up on #212910. Asked about the channels on Dodds and in Hunter. Got the reply "Sorry to disappoint, but we just label them lined ditches." The images atrached are of "lined ditches" (both on Hawthorne south of Southdowns. The channels I asked about are quite different and warrant a different name Feel free to borrow "Dodds Street Canal" and "Hunter Avenue Channel." ☺️

I live in Evansville IN. I came to Bloomington to a local venue, parked and took photo of QR CODE. Nothing appeared on email or Venmo. I went into the Venue and came out 2 hrs later to a $30.00 ticket. Please know I tried to do as asked when parking. I am requesting my parking citation be waived. Respectfully, Amy M TenBarge
