There is a pile of sand at S Morton and W 2nd St that is dangerous to bike riders. I skidded through it and almost fell off my bike. Could you please send a street-sweeper to clean it up? Thanks.
A City of Bloomington Parks employee wearing his neon yellow logo'ed vest and shirt is bumming cigarettes off people on the B-line next to Kroger. If he was off duty, he had a jacket with him he could have covered up his City shirt. Instead he walked the B line smoking while people tried to jog and bike past him. What a poor representation of the City. No smoking in our parks by anyone let alone the staff.
There is pothole on westbound 2nd St and the B-Line.
The street sign and stop sign at the corner of Brookdale Drive and N Woodburn Ave have been knocked down. The street sign is turned so that Brookdale is labeled Woodburn and vice versa.
The situation along the B-Line trail around the Grimes bridge is out of control. Tents have been setup along the side of the B-Line just north of the bridge. While riding through this area earlier this morning with my 11 year old, we had an individual come out of one these tents and start yelling at us. This does not feel like a safe situation for anyone.
Homeless Camp, trash and clothes everywhere. By the dog park. On the southside of the park.
By the warehouse along the Bline: The lack of adequate facilities for the homeless population in Bloomington, combined with all the overgrown vegetation, and potentially the use of the warehouse as a shelter, has resulted in ~ 10 cars being slept in overnight. That part is fine. However, there are no facilities for people to use the restroom, which results in the vegetation (behind the warehouse) and along the Bline being used as a latrine. Can Bloomington please pay attention to the homeless issue and take it seriously? Covid is not going away there must be facilities for people to use the restroom and throw away their rubbish. Currently, it's thrown all over the street on Hillside. Portland built tiny home communities to help with the homeless population, others offer hotel rooms, still other cities provide YMCA-type facilities. Bloomington continues to take this problem seriously and help this critical component of our community! With regard to restrooms in particular, given our current pandemic, safe and sanitary options for human waste are essential. We still do not know whether coronavirus can spread through human feces. Given that we live on karst topology, it is crucial that people aren't pooping outside (never mind walking through it and the horrid smell).
Tons of garbage and debris - e.g., broaken couch, electrical equipment, slurpy cups, clothing, fecal material. Please clean up ....and please come up with a plan to actually provide facilities for the homeless population in Bloomington.
Car was broken into last night 11/17/2021. My glove compartment was left wide open with papers thrown around and my clothes that were in the car were found outside about 4 houses down (by me).
