There are homeless encampments steadily increasing in number behind my house and those of my neighbors. There are now several in view of my windows. The amount of trash is staggering, including countless hypodermic needles. Trash is regularly set on fire by the residents of the encampments, producing noxious smoke that smells terrible and is surely not safe to breathe. The city needs to do something about these encampments. Open air drug use within feet of neighborhoods with young children should not be tolerated. I've been a resident of Bloomington for a decade and I'm strongly considering moving out of town due to the city's inability to address this issue. Please do something.

The compost is poorly managed with anaerobic odors detectable 1/2 block away. In addition the area is immediately adjascent to a city storm drain such that nutrient runnoff from the compost is a major immediate concern. They also have allowed the invasive, noxious weed Johnson grass to grow up in the city ROW areas nearby as well as elsewhere on their property.
