Situation in the McDoel neighborhood. This area is subject to ongoing problems with the homeless population leaving much trash, stealing from our yards, and leaving used needles about. If this was going on in more affluent areas like Sherwood Oaks there would be something done about it but the city has simply not put enough effort into keeping our area safe for the poulation who lives here. The various shelters cannot do much to influence the behavior of their clients. Another issue is that the shelters and especially Shalom Center encourages people to come to Bloomington rather than encouraging other towns to take care of their homeless. We are full of these people and many of us are fed up with their behavior and the numbers of them. McDoel has been an upcoming area with a mix of working class and professionals. Colder weather has subdues the homeless activities but with warmer weather coming many of us feel Switchyard park will again have numerous issues with panhandling and trash and encampments with druggies. There are several encampments in the area populated mostly be drug users. Anything they drag in does not leave and we have some areas of way too much trash. How about some enforcement ?

Greetings. In my experience, as well as observations, it does not appear that there is much, if any, enforcement of the Hands-Free Driving state law that went into effect in 2019 in the City of Bloomington. There also doesn't seem to be much accountability to that law as in my experience, the person who rear-ended me told the BPD officer she hit me because she was looking at her phone, but following too close was on the citation and not distracted driving. Why is that? I was told that he didn't want to put more than one reason down. Well, why not distracted driving as that is what she admitted to? Also, there doesn't seem to be any sort of a public safety education campaign in any way... I could imagine that the social media accounts would be a great place for a weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly Public Safety Announcement (PSA) for some friendly reinforcement, reminders, remedial lessons, etc. about the laws that provide structure around driving a couple ton heavy potentially lethal machine around these safe and civil streets. I think Bloomington motorists need a few reminders on some general laws about operating a motor vehicle, especially the hands-free driving state law. Can someone please speak a bit to this concern of mine? Much obliged for your time.

Homeless encampment in the woods on what I can only gather is public land but I'm not sure if someone owns it. They have completely trashed the area in and around these woods. They do drugs, are loud and dangerous. They have a bunch of cars and trash on N Summit close to the woods they stay in. There is trash all around the vehicles. I don't think they should be allowed to trash the neighborhood and cause issues.
