I walk home along Adams St. I've noticed in the wooded area on the east side of the street south of the railroad (in the utility easement) there appears to be a homeless camp setting up.
Street light in front of 907 W 2nd not functional.
I just had a salesperson from Hawx Pest Control come to my door to try to sell me services. He was unmasked. Not sure exactly how that falls within the city and county ordinances (and state rules), but unmasked sales people coming to the door is not good.
Repeated complaints about Seminary Park, most recent #172269 submitted 4/20/20. This park is a very shameful example of how our city is handling (not handling) the homeless/drug population. The mayor should be ashamed of what message it sends that the issue continues with everyone looking the other way. This is a major north/south & east/west travel point. DAILY I have to deal with this as a working citizen of Bloomington at the Post Office. I know that you know the issues because I call the police at least once/week. Daily, besides the usual littering the park and Post Office parking lot (including mattresses, office desk chairs, tables, etc.) there is suspicious traffic in & out of that park via the Post Office parking lot. Within the past month we have had 5 different instances where someone backed up against the outside of our building to relieve him/herself of #2, then proceeded to smear it all up the wall. Today I witnessed a man walk behind the post office to a little white truck that is there daily with no plates. He handed that person something, then waved and walked away. Several people came from the park up to his window, went back in the park, then came back to the truck. Didn't appear to be just chit-chat. A transaction had been made for sure. And, what about a few Fridays ago when someone provided the park a nice big bbq complete with a huge grill that was brought in. Are grills and full-sized tents allowed to be brought into a city park?? They were there that day! This brought a huge crowd filling that park and creating a big scene. They trashed the park, the Post Office parking lot, and the area in front of the Post Office by the street. Both our custodian and your city employees are using a lot of resources & money to clean up after that population. Mayor Hamilton, you out to be ashamed of our city right now! This is not the Bloomington it used to be and you're looking the other way. I do not feel safe going to my job to make a decent living because I have been approached by these people and our customers have been approached. When election time rolls around again I will be paying very close attention to which candidate has plans to clean up our city.
What appears like a noose hanging from a tree across from the playground and bridge In Lower Cascades Park.
The pedestrian crossing sign has been missing from where the B-Line crosses 7th Street for about two weeks. I called BPD dispatch about this issue two weeks ago, but the sign is still missing. Very dangerous for people using the B-Line and for drivers crossing the B-Line.
The limestone bench that is near the tennis courts, and under a very large tree, has been vandalized and pulled apart.
The back of the Bryan Park sign has rotted off. It is the Bryan Park sign that is on Henderson at the upper parking lot.
THERE IS A LARGE ORANGE CONSTRUCTION LIFT THAT HAS BEEN HERE OVER 2 WEEKS AND HAS NOT MOVED. NOT SEEING ANYONE DOING CONSTRUCTION. THIS IS TAKING UP A VALUABLE PARKING SPOT IN FRONT OF THE RESTRAUNT. WOULD LIKE IT MOVED.
Really frustrating. Two different nights in a row with two different store clerks, guests allowed in Circle K on E 3rd near Park Ridge East Park without masks. Nothing said to them and they were close distance to others. Please someone give this store a call and let them know of requirement.
