The larger shelter at Building Trades Park looks like it will fall down any minute. I went there for a neighborhood meeting a couple weeks ago and am no longer comfortable scheduling our own neighborhood meetings in the park because it looks so unsafe
I wanted to bring to your attention that most of the lights on the tennis courts are not working in the evening.
The lights at the six tennis courts have not been on in the evening for days. They are usually turned on around 9 pm. What is the matter with that?
Divider in the middle of walkway impedes access to Bryan Park Pool. A painted line instead could solve this problem.
Go Express busses are driving recklessly through the Sportsplex parking lot. I was dropping my daughter off for her program yesterday at 6:00pm. A bus nearly ran over the front of my car as it was turning to go toward the side parking lot. I was stopped with my window down and told the driver that she should slow down. She stated that I was in her blind spot. Then she continued to drive forward and I had to quickly back up to give her room to turn while trying to avoid hitting the car behind me. After walking my daughter into the building, another bus went by and was also driving too fast for being in a parking lot. Why are these buses cutting through the lot? They can enter at the stoplight closer to Weimer Road if needed and avoid putting parks and rec patrons in danger.
The bridge over Patterson Drive at the B-Line now has become a tent city, can you please do something. I do not feel safe even driving by here and this morning I saw a little child outside of the tents living.
Reverend Butler power outlet in shelter looks dangerous and Broken
Portable toilets not usable today because toilets were filled with used needles. Empty liquor bottles also in toilets.
Sycamore Shelter - As of Saturday, March 6 at around 5:30 p.m., there was human feces on the ground near the fireplace. Additionally, there was trash left on the shelter's tables and in the fireplace. Waterfall Shelter - At the same time as above, there was a gentleman sleeping in the fireplace of the shelter. He appeared to be using this as his primary shelter/home. As a result from the trash, feces, and individual, both shelters were rendered unusable for families.
The idea that Bloomington does not allow basketball or turf rentals at the TLRC is preposterous at this point in the pandemic. The positive case numbers have continued to drop, Monroe County has the lowest positive rate in the entire state, and TLRC has already shown they can operate safely. There is no reason at this point to continually take away opportunities from youth sports in Bloomington. It is long overdue that someone like John Turnbull is held accountable to create opportunities for youth sports instead of continually take them away and claim that "participation numbers are down" that is a direct reflection of the lack of initiative in his department and it starts at the top.
