Just curious what the city's policy is regarding abandoned vehicles. This vehicle had been sitting in the front yard for over a year now and has not moved. There are small children living in the home and they use it as some sort of playground equipment. Myself, and other neighbors are tired of looking at it. Can anything be done to have them remove it? Thank you.

Tree branches from oak trees between street and sidewalk extending over sidewalk. All of these oaks need a good trimming along this stretch of Winston. Thank you.

The property owner is not taking care of the yard. Grass and weeds are well above the 8 inch limit. Yard has not been mowed at all yet this year. The photo submitted is the way the whole yard looks and is a very large lot. This same thing happened last year.

I am so glad to see that you are finally going to fix Push Place. The picture of the proposed new playground at Push Place looks horrible: one huge slide. Some families have multiple kids with varying degrees of comfort with slides. You need to have some short slides and some medium slides. People shouldn't have to continue crossing Hillside to get to Bryan Park so that their little kids can go down a reasonable sized slide. Even little Southeast Park has 4 slides of varying degrees of difficulty. Will there be hearings on this proposal? Will there be an opportunity to change this design to something that will work for toddlers, pre-schoolers and elementary school aged kids?

My water pressure is very low. Are there issues in this area of Hoosier Acres?

The homeless camp that lives on the pickle ball courts are smoking and their stuff is over a large portion of the out of bounds section, along with their bikes. The pickle ball courts are for playing pickle ball, and I'm getting tired of having to navigate their stuff.

When is the destruction of the Push Place playground scheduled? Bloomington Developmental Learning Center (BDLC) reserved the shelter for their graduation ceremonies for May 22 with the intent that children would be available to use the playground.
That playground was the first playground in the city to be designed to be inclusive to accommodate people with disabilities as well as able bodied children. You have not only lost that but this playground design doesn't even provide a developmentally appropriate progression of increasingly difficult slides so that children could progress to a large slide such as the only one that is included in this design. I am frankly astounded that any reputable playground design firm would propose this design.
In incident 175703, you claim that you got feedback from parents. What parents? According to the Parks and Rec Master Plan, the west half of Arden Place is serviced by this park. Did you contact any parents in this neighborhood? So far, I haven't found any that heard of this.
You didn't seek input from BDLC, which in the past has taken their children to Push Place on field trips. I follow Parks and Rec on Facebook and I haven't seen anything about any public hearings on this.
Do not close this issue as resolved. It most certainly is NOT.
