Please I'm tired of the street racing in park ridge east late at night. They're at it again. Have called police before. Please put a speed bump in or have cops bust them or something.

Increasing numbers of homeless individuals are sleeping in their cars at the empty Kmart at night. People are now advertising it as a location online. That site needs City attention for redevelopment and monitoring. Eliminate the big box and know it is a great location for smart development close to the new hospital site for lodging, retail, restaurants, green space, and mixed-income housing. By the City not owning up to a solution for the unhoused it apparently is encouraging such individuals to encroach on private lands now. Find a designated park such as Switchyard with parking lots, green space, lights, and security to decriminalize sleeping. And even if not, put some effort into getting a large already commercially designated site back into active use in town. Thank you.
I was alarmed to se 1/2 the adults and 1/2 of the kids not wearing mask this weekend at switchyard park. At the least there should be signs posted to demand mask wearing and or area patrolled to enforce it. Thanks.
Regarding your change of name of Good Friday in the name of diversity. You seem to think diversity is a one way street, favorable only to non-Christians. You are a fool if you think that your name change will do anything more than make you anathema to, possibly, the majority of your constituents. See what you attain by diversity then!
Tons of trash surrounding the block of the shalom center. Lots and lots of cigarette butts over the road and sidewalks around the shalom center. This is an environmental hazard and needs cleaned up. Also a plan to reduce pollution for this area would be beneficial. Trash cans, cigarette butt stations, and holding patrons of shalom center accountable.
Why does your city survey ask people how many times they voted in the last month?
Any idea what happened with the development that was going in on the Kmart off third? At one point a developer was holding talks. Would love to see some action there.
I'm not sure who would do this, but I think Bloomington, Indiana, needs to do a famous people of Bloomington historical exhibit somewhere. I learned today Mick Foley (a wrestling legend) is from Bloomington! Who knew! Why isn't this celebrated and out there in the public. Invite this man to give a speech or something!
Is there some tool to send comments to Council? Why are people who supposedly supporting affordable housing instead supporting elite neighborhood interests pretending that the very prospect of duplexes in the core of a city somehow destroys neighborhoods? What a joke. Way to help the rich stay rich at a time of extreme housing crisis. It's a flipping duplex in areas that they make sense, not a skyscraper or dump site. Please send to their offices my concern that they are but catering to the faux progressives more concerned with their net worth that has already exploded in those homes above community need.
Social Workers should NOT be reporting to police officers and police command. Stop being performative. Dispatch can be shared but social service calls should be handled separately by individuals who are accountable to their professional ethics and not a police force with inherently differentiated goals. Social workers should not exist for image control and saving money through less 911 calls, they should exist to help people, particularly the marginalized. Restructure before it's too late for these individuals to work WITH police, not for them. A shameful policy choice that you can still correct.
