At 9:40pm on August 18, 2024, an MSI security vehicle (the small two seater with a short bed) ran the stop sign on Woodlawn heading north at Southdowns, right by Bryan Park where the multi-use path and park exits/entrances meet Southdowns and Sheridan. The MSI vehicle then made an erratic turn on Woodlawn without any turn signals, turning sharply to the west just north of Sheridan, and entering the park through the grass, then quickly driving along the walking path. MSI is not law enforcement. They were not driving in a law enforcement vehicle during an emergency. They have no right to disregard a stop sign when other traffic is around and when pedestrians and cyclists could be in the area. Failing to stop at a stop sign is a traffic infraction and MSI should be held to account for putting others at risk. The abrupt turn into the park was also dangerous. The City should be aware of the type of behavior the hired help is engaging in around town.

How does Bloomington determine the appropriate lifeguard-patron ratio for the city's public pools? How often is a responsible staff member actively evaluating safety needs during the course of the pool hours? (Seeking an actual response, as I notice that recent U-reports asking this question have been closed despite zero answers.)
On August 10-11, there was an alarming disconnect between lifeguards and actual use of the facility. Despite a hot, sunny weekend with dozens of patrons in and around the main pool (including plenty of small children), there was only a single lifeguard on duty sitting on the ground level staff bench for the **entire main pool**. At least on Aug 17-18, the west end of the main pool was closed, reducing by half the active scan area for the single on duty lifeguard.
It would be terrible to have a safety emergency at the city pools worsened by underestimating the need for lifeguards on duty.
