Persistent speeding and failure to stop at intersection of Park Ridge and Morningside. Very dangerous next to park and residential area. 95% of area speed problem comes from Summerhouse. Please have police monitor. Has been requested before.
Situation in the McDoel neighborhood. This area is subject to ongoing problems with the homeless population leaving much trash, stealing from our yards, and leaving used needles about. If this was going on in more affluent areas like Sherwood Oaks there would be something done about it but the city has simply not put enough effort into keeping our area safe for the poulation who lives here. The various shelters cannot do much to influence the behavior of their clients. Another issue is that the shelters and especially Shalom Center encourages people to come to Bloomington rather than encouraging other towns to take care of their homeless. We are full of these people and many of us are fed up with their behavior and the numbers of them. McDoel has been an upcoming area with a mix of working class and professionals. Colder weather has subdues the homeless activities but with warmer weather coming many of us feel Switchyard park will again have numerous issues with panhandling and trash and encampments with druggies. There are several encampments in the area populated mostly be drug users. Anything they drag in does not leave and we have some areas of way too much trash. How about some enforcement ?
While I was trying on clothes at this store I saw this camera. Not sure if I was visible to it but since it is a fitting room where people change including minors I thought someone should know.
People are living in these vans parked on this city street.
The vehicle is up on a block, some metal and other junk in the driveway. It has been there since Christmas (I think). The windows are broken out and it is just an accident waiting to happen. I don't think anyone is living there at this time, grass has not been mowed for sometime. I believe it is a rental. It would be terrible if some kid died over there playing around.
There has been a PT Cruiser (license plate 612PBD) parked in front of this address since August 2020 at the very least. It has more than one completely flat tire, and license plates dated from 2019. Note in the window states it is a neighbor's car, but that they use bikes more often. This car has not moved at all, and appears completely abandoned in prime street parking, within a neighborhood where parking can be quite tricky.
An older Mercedes has been abandoned here for several months (no plates).
Flat ties on abandoned vehicle
Car parked on street has not been moved in at least three months, now tires have gone flat and the car cannot even be moved. This is not a permit zone and there is extremely limited parking for all of the houses on the block.
An abandoned car has been sitting in the backyard for several years.
