The new bicycle storage cubes are not benefiting residents and are creating two significant problems:
Immediate Safety Hazard: The cubes are an attractive nuisance and severe fall risk to children. Preschoolers have been observed climbing and jumping on the units. This confirms the greater community need is a safe play area, not this storage solution.
Unauthorized Misuse: The units are already being used as personal storage by non-residents (unhoused), leading to increased and unwelcome traffic into the residential courtyard.
The project failed to consult residents on community needs. I request immediate action to address the safety hazard and restrict unauthorized access to these units.

The lights at Switchyard do not come on when they are supposed to. Specifically at the skatepark and path around it. They seemed to fix it when an event took place Nov 8, then just turned them off since. People not only at the skatepark but also people who walk the path, can’t see where they are going at night. It can be very dangerous especially considering that the homeless sit around all day and night over there. If someone could please fix this issue, then everyone who often goes to the park would appreciate it very much. Thanks

Multiple what I think are paper wasps at the larger new playground "Bryan Park Playground (5-12 year old)" off of Henderson. Couldn't find the nest but my kiddo did get stung. I killed a few. This was last weekend before the cold but as it will be warm again I wanted to send something.

Requesting tree inspection, the tree line along my property belongs to the city. There are trees that appear dead or dying and are leaning towards the roof of my house.

Is there a way to let non-facebook members scroll down more than two or three posts on your website? I can't check your website everyday which means when I do check I can only see two and a half posts. Those that aren't facebook members or don't check daily might be missing information regarding events and important parks related news. Also, thanks for being part of what makes bloomington a more interesting place to live. P.S.- If it's an unchangeable facebook function would you consider using a less limiting social media platform? One that is more open to the public. Reddit comes to mind but maybe it too has some limits or restrictions I'm not aware of.

At least 2 of the garage doors at Switchyard Pavilion are not opening. This makes vendor unload/pack up before and after farmers’ market more challenging and complicated— for an already logistically difficult situation.
Also, numerous customers report that there is not any parking available during market hours. Is anyone at COB considering parking issues when scheduling multiple events at Switchyard Park?? Is it possible that the Warehouse is using the Switchyard parking lot during market hours as well??
Thanks for reviewing these concerns.

Hello Haskell Smith, A willow tree is falling apart along the Sheridan Dr/Southdowns Dr corridor (picture attached). The exact location is in front of the property located at 1227 East Sheridan Drive. The tree is rotted and has partially fallen into the ditch, missing a utility pole. V/r, Mark W.
