The at-grade railroad crossings on N Adams and on Fountain Drive are in deplorable shape. Is the city responsible for these, or the Indiana railroad Company? There are many crossings in Bloomington and most of them are fine. These crossings are in a lower income neighborhood so I'd think the city, with its focus on equity and social justice, would be very interested in getting these improved.
There is a homeless camp adjacent to the BLine trail at N Adams street that needs cleaning. There is trash everywhere and the firetrucks and police have been called to the area multiple times. The camp is south of the Bline trail and railroad tracks. Thank you.
Overgrowth on the land the city took is out of control. Today I had to run homeless out of the overgrowth. I have children that live here and we always kept it mowed down but now its not ours and I don't want homeless moving in. Please take care of this asap
Deep pothole in center of road
Hi! I am requesting parking lines be drawn in the parking area on 4th Street in front of 511 W 4th St. There is room for 5 cars to park comfortably and safely in this area. Frequently, people park incorrectly in this area, taking up multiple spots and limited the number of cars that can park in the area. I operate a business at 511 W 4th Street, Suite #2. We are a small PR firm that employs 20 people in Bloomington. We own the office space at 511 W 4th Suite 2. We would love to be able to maximize this convenient parking area for our employees by having parking lines drawn.
Homeless people leaving debris against our building(Mural Wall) Also Patrons of people's park have been urinating by our dumpster (we have witnessed) and the corner where our mural wall ends and your fence begins. We have been bleaching the our property to remove the urine smell. We have also witness a few health events from the park patrons and where ambulances have been called. I would also suggest locking up the power outlet at the North end of the park because patrons of the park have been camping out re-charging their cell phones
mural facing People's park was damaged. I own the Bicycle Garage business and building.
Mural in People's Park was damaged
Bricks surrounding this sewer grate in front of our local business were missing on Sunday 9/6/20. A city staff member who was in his truck next door offered to temporarily remedy it and came back to do so...the brickwork is not finished and needs to be professionally installed, as it's still a hazard to pedestrians. Too much space sits between the bricks and they are not securely in place. Thank you (and JD Boruff) for working on this, and past sidewalk issues along this block of East Kirkwood.
What are the city's plans to remove the "Black Lives Matter" paint from the commissioned mural on the side of the Bicycle Garage facing People's Park? While I support and empathize with the BLM movement, I am concerned that the city has not addressed this year-old defacing of the mural. Recently random graffiti has also been painted on this mural, making the problem worse. Can you advise me if this mural will be restored to its original condition?
