I tried to use this area to have a quick meeting with colleagues before going to an appointment at a business on the square. This area was unavailable due to the mess. Balloons, needles, beverage cans, etc. (The yoga mat is mine.) Further, these benches are damaged and appear to be unmaintained. I then moved to the corner of the square where no needles were visible. There I was immediately solicited by panhandlers twice. All of this is unacceptable and I hope to see these areas cleaned and maintained on a proper schedule. The frequency with which I am required to defend myself physically against panhandlers here is becoming unbearable. It is unsafe to be downtown in Bloomington, Indiana.
Tenants of CFC Properties in Fountain Square are calling us to complain about sleeping homeless. I have already submitted a ticket around 7:43 AM today with the guy's description. I have been asked to send in another ticket, so I apologize for the redundancy.
There is a man sleeping the in skywalk from the 4th street parking garage to the Fountain Square building. Buzzed black hair, mixed race, red shirt, gray sweats and tennis shoes.
There is a homeless person sleeping in the bridge/walkway from the 4th Street parking garage. They are wearing charcoal colored jeans, appear to have a white undershirt and a black one over it. He had his head covered with a black zip-up hoodie, so I couldn't see his face.
Turn signal is too short. We are just asking for 10 more seconds for traffic westbound on Kirkwood turning onto Adams. 10 seconds more.
The alleyway between 6th and 5th, specifically behind this address would benefit greatly from a streetlight. New residences with off-alley parking and commercial businesses nearby would benefit from the added safety and convenience of a street light. Thank you
Street light hanging by electrical wire, may fall and hit someone in the head

There is a foul odor in the neighborhood on some evenings after dark. It smells like chemicals to me. Other neighbors describe it as "burning trash". I'm concerned that it may be meth.
