Homeless people are again living in People’s Park. They’re using drugs, fighting, leaving trash everywhere, screaming and yelling, urinating and defecating and have taken over most of the benches and tables. It also appears that they are sleeping there overnight. We bought ice cream across the street and expected to have a nice Sunday afternoon in the park for thirty minutes or so… we tried sitting on the steps of a business on the opposite side of Dunn Street but the shrubbery nearby was probably soaked in urine based on the stench. We simply left at that point….. No other Indiana city of the same size and population has a homeless population of 1 % of that of Bloomington and that is directly attributable to the fact that Bloomington attracts these people by virtue of feeding them and enabling them unlike anywhere else in Indiana. I’ve lived in and near Bloomington since 1974 and this has simply gotten totally out of hand.
Lots of potholes on both sides of street.
West 7th Street from Rogers to Fairview is full of deep and growing potholes. They are on both sides of the road and impossible to avoid. Patching has been done in the past but never holds. Can the city possibly repave this section? School buses roll through here daily and now workers who cannot park at the Johnson Cremery building are parking here, which is increasing the damage to the road.
This brand new curb now retains rainwater. Any plans to fix this?
Dead end on east end of E. Sheffield Dr. Traffic is entering through a non driveway from wooded area creating potential traffic hazards. Trucks are removing the center diamond sign and driving into private property (not a city issue). Utilizing roadway improperly and potentially damaging city sign. Solution would be to erect a metal guard rail at the dead end to stop traffic entering through an unauthorized driveway in the city and lessen the traffic on the city street in this quiet neighborhood.
The street light directly across from 4512 E. Cambridge Court is out.
