Large numbers of people appear to be living semi-permanently in Switchyard park, and are occupying shelter buildings, Bocce ball courts, and have setup tents near the woods by the creek. This situation has been going on all summer. Yesterday we saw a fairly large group assembled under the shelter directly next to the playground with a large amount of belongings next to them, including a large car wheel and tire. I am sensitive to the needs of the very large homeless population in our city, but there should also be a certain level of respect and rules that protect the experience for other users of the park. It would be a shame if this beautiful park is taken over like what happened with Seminary Park. Can clear guidelines be defined as to what will be done here, within the context of the larger homeless problem?

On the south east corner of the intersection of Henderson St. and Brenda Ln the sidewalks around the bus stop have some very low hanging tree branches that obstruct clear passage along the sidewalk. It would be great to see this get trimmed back.

There has been a guy building a permanent shelter along the B Link. I hear him hammering away at night. He has been destroying the trees and littering all over. This is becoming a concern for those of us in the neighborhood who want to walk our dogs down the trail. I’m also concerned if he is building fires back there since my neighbors houses line up against the trees there.

Please cover over the old tennis lines on your pickleball courts. Having both sets of lines are confusing. Also, could wind clothes be added to lessen impact of wind. Due to COVID, more people are using this facility. Because of the nature of the restroom there, it is closed. Could a portable restroom be added to this location. There is not an easy way to replace this necessary need.
In addition, is it possible to convert other tennis courts in the city to pickleball courts? Thanks for your consideration, Victoria Lee

Once again, i do laundry, and hete comes CBU to the sewer pump station. I reported this previously and was told it was routine maintenance. Routine maintenance in the evening into the dark. Now, the gentleman is here on the afternoon of the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Don't try telling me that it's routine maintenance. I have also had to report odor from this pump station. We have owned this property since before sewer was even here. We have been around that pump station a long time. These things didn't start happening until i added my new house to the system. There is also a house with six kids across the street and new building around me. I have been in the construction industry for over 20 years so i am not uneducated as to these systems. I am also aware of the fact that this area is not going to get the attention the East side or Southeast side of town would get. I think Facebook and HT readers would understand that as well. The developer of Union at Crescent might like to know it to. If there is a capacity problem, please fix it.

Tent camp is growing quite large. This is against city ordinance. Same problem is going on at switchyard park. Homeless camps being set up in the area, people loitering, creating trash and littering, human waste, needles, etc. this is causing huge problems with nearby businesses and home owners. Been going on months/years? Will this ever be addressed in a manner needed to actually fix the problems? Or will Bloomington continue to enable these problems?
