City pathway is popular sight for criminal activity such as: drug deals and use (used needles are common on stairs of city path), destruction of public and private property, fighting, littering, public urination and feces, and this year we've had two occurrences of people on the path discharging guns (~1pm last night was the most recent occurrence- see police report). The stairs on the path are unsafe and create a safe haven for criminal activity because the police can not pursue the suspects down the path or stairs. Instead the police have to drive around the block to try and head of the criminals and thus allows them to evade police. My community and the police officers are requesting that these dilapidated stairs and path be removed. They are public menace to our community and Bloomington society as a whole. Please help us protect our community by removing this criminal gateway into our neighborhood. My fellow community members and I will continue to post updates on our problems, interactions with criminal (e.g. death threats) and reporting of criminal activities associated with this path (including photos).

Once again the police have had to come into our area, following a street fight along the sidewalk between our homes. Just 2 nights ago shots were being fired less than 12ft. from my grandson's bedroom at 1am on that sidewalk. Police did find 1 of the 6 teens. Yesterday the fight landed two young adults in my driveway seeking refuge from an out of control violent young man. I'm disabled on crutches, and when I tried to stop the attacker from coming on my property he threatened serious harm to me and my grandson. Just before it got deadly, police with a K-9 arrived. Thank you BPD. The cut-thru sidewalk has become a danger and a menace to all of us and it is used mainly for bad activity. It needs to be closed, and the broken steps up to 12th street need to go. Many of us are elderly, disabled, and tired of these constant problems. City leaders NEED to come and see this area, and the trash, broken steps, empty drug needles, etc. We need help beyond having to call BPD all the time. Please take this seriously before someone is not just assaulted again, but perhaps shot. 2 gun incidents this spring is 2 too many. Thank You.

Cobra light on North- West corner come on and off in A.M. I walk in this area every morning around 6:20 a.m. - light is usually off and is dangerous because it is a busy intersection and the cars can not see me because it is dark.

The street light across from our house at 918 N. Orris Dr. goes off and on all night. It probably needs a new sensor. Thank you!

The street light on the right hand corner of the cul d sac appears to have been hit and has bent and fallen over into our tree. I'm not sure if it is city maintained light...the association said it is not responsible for it.

There are a number of street lights out on the west side of College Ave between 15th and 13th street. There are all out in a row. There is a new apartment building at the corner of 14th and College on the southwest corner. The light went out when that building was being constructed. Now that the building is finished and occupied, the streets lights that are out should be lighted again. When they are out all in a row like that (between 4 and 6 lights are out), it makes the area very dark and makes the bike lane on the west side of College very hazardous. Please get these lights turned back on. Thank you.
