Debris Removal (Sand, General Street Debris)
501 E Kirkwood AVE
- Case Date:
- 7/31/2022
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.

Excessive Growth
501 N Grant ST
- Case Date:
- 5/2/2024
Not clear which address to use. City-created, grassy area in traffic-control sidewalk extension into the street needs mowing. SW corner of Grant/9th. Is this the responsibility of adjacent property owners? If so, would that be Plantation North Apartments, apparently now being referred to as "Campus Walk North" (CRE Rentals)?
Excessive Growth
501 N Grant ST
- Case Date:
- 5/13/2024
See case #188239 (SW corner of Grant/9th intersection.) Long grass is still a problem. Maybe assign this to someone other than "Jo Stong", because cases assigned to that person are sometimes not dealt with in a timely manner.
Traffic Signals
501 N Morton ST
- Case Date:
- 6/20/2021
The pedestrian signal on the northwest corner at the intersection of College and Kirkwoid does not show the white ok to cross figure when approaching from the east. I noticed this last weekend but forgot to report.
Debris Removal (Sand, General Street Debris)
501 N Morton ST
- Case Date:
- 2/9/2024
There are signs in this drain of the Monroe county govt parking lot. It is obvious that someone intentionally lifted this heavy inlet and placed trash and street sign in the way. This needs corrected immediately to fix stormwater flow here. How often are these cleaned out in this parking lot? There is so much debris and breaking apart asphalt that Monroe county is not maintaining. Also they cut down their trees and smoking continues too close to the building. How is this allowed?

This county government facility has so much dirt and debris that needs street sweep ran. Everything is going into storm system and being tracked out onto streets and causes damage.
