Case Date:
6/16/2023

On 6-15-23 between the hours of 12:00 to 1:00 pm. Myself and 2 others had just climbed up the stairs after going down to look at the water falls. We heard a loud car enter the parking area and shut off. however, no one got out of the vehicle as if they intended to hike. I was concerned about my own car because it was the only other one there. My friends and I decided to walk back up to the parking lot to make sure my was not the target of being broken in to or the catalytic converter being stolen. As we approached the parking area, we observed the other car had backed into the parking spot next to my car. We could see the driver standing beside they driver's door. We made noise to let the m know we were approaching, the person standing immediately sat back down in their seat. We saw an adult male slumped over in the passenger seat, totally passed out and not moving or awake. The driver and person who had been standing was an adult women, she seemed oblivious and unaware too. The car was and older car, a big vehicle like police use to drive, possibly a Crown Victoria . The back seat was piled high with clothes,, sleeping bags, blankets, etc. Indicating to me homelessness. The car was painted gray with a large area of the front end painted black. The back window on the drivers side had a star in it, brown like a sheriff's star. It was obvious that they were not intending to hike. We intended to continue our hike but decided the situation seemed unsafe and sketchy. I would have liked to have gotten a photo of their license plate, but as I said they were backed into the spot. As that is a pretty isolated area without others around, I thought I should at least list my concern. It is my hope that the area is patrolled throughout the day. The Leonard Springs Nature Preserve is a beautiful area that those of us who appreciate nature and the beauty of this area should be able to access without risk or fear of something happening to our vehicles or our person. My friends and I are experienced hikers and do so on a regular basis. Unfortunately, this is the first time we have felt such an uncomfortable and sketchy situation. I am certain I would recognize that vehicle again My phone Number is 824-6527 if you need to call me. I felt it was important to list my concern.

8050 N Old Dutch Church Rd. Ellettsville, IN 47429 Older gentleman living at the house and not able to care for all of the cats. They are all outdoor and somewhat feral. There are at least 3-4 adult sized cats and and at least 5 kittens that are starving and malnourished. Most of the cats and kittens have puss coming out of their eyes and nose and need medical treatment. None of the cats are spayed/neutered so momma cats keep having kittens and the older gentleman at the house cannot properly care for all of them. One of the adult sized cats was recently attacked by a raccoon and did not survive. I am extremely worried for the cats health and well being if they continue to stay there. The older gentleman is ok with the cats being removed from his property. Please send someone to help these cats and kittens. The property has a 2 story house with red colored front and side porches and a detached garage and a camper parked in the gravel driveway.

Traffic Signals

E 3rd St & S Woodlawn Ave, Bloomington, IN 47405, USA

Case Date:
6/17/2023

Pedestrians should not have to push a button to get a walk signal on the east side of the intersection. Coming from campus we can’t see whether the light is green for Woodlawn traffic and people often assume someone else has already pushed the button, then people dart across hoping they have time, not wanting to wait through a whole other light cycle. There is no downside to an automatic walk signal on the east side of the intersection.
