Homeless passed out on park bench
Homeless passed out on park bench
Clarification of ticket# 190254 Hidden homeless encampment of 2 people. Located in woods at corner of “The Crossing @ PeteEllis”, 812-339-1400. This spot is a heavily used Pete Ellis pedestrian crossing that should be free of distraction and threat.
Tent City set up
Homeless passed out
At Pete Ellis & Johnhinkle Street (address 3100 Johnhinkle) there is a homeless camp at the back of the property (field). There is hazardous waste at the camp and it needs to be cleaned up. The camp opening to the camp is about 3 feet to the right of the Private Property sign at the back of the field. I have more photos if you'd like them.
Used uncapped needle and syringe on the ground near mailboxes
My next door neighbor has set up a unhoused encampment next door. They have unleashed dogs we can climb under the fence and there is no access to water, trash disposal, or bathroom facilities. No discussion was had with me prior to the encampment moving in and it is preventing me or my dog being able to use our backyard.
I am writing to urge you to extend the amount of time between the issuance of a parking ticket and the date on which the price of that ticket doubles. I realize I am lucky to have a secure job associated with a decent wage that allows me to occasionally absorb the cost of a parking ticket, for those rare times when I accidentally exceed my expected amount of time downtown. However, it was not so long ago, when I was a graduate student, that I truly lived paycheck-to-paycheck, and had a lot of difficulty making it through the second half of the month. A $20 parking ticket which doubles in price within 10 days would have been a very difficult expense to manage. And it should be recognized that even those of us who diligently pay our meters occasionally run into difficulties that cause us to run over. At the same time, we often overpay for the meter ($$ for which we are never reimbursed). In any event, a parking ticket that doubles in price within 10 days puts an undue burden on those residents of Bloomington who are in a challenging financial situation. I suggest you extend the remission time to 30 days to allow your city's residents to better manage their household budgets. Regards, Dr. Kim Novick 904 E 14th Street Bloomington, IN 47408
This is in reference to uReport Case #161251. I was told to pick up my refund at the Morton St garage office. I've been there 3 or 4 times so far, and no one is ever in the office. Can my refund be mailed to me, or is there a better place to get it. Thanks.
MORTON STREET PARKING GARAGE: Why is no one ever there during advertised business hours? My step-daughter would love to pay her bill but there is NEVER anyone there to take her payment. Of course, your limited availability makes it next to impossible to attempt to resolve this issue.
