I believe the City owes an explanation to its citizens regarding the military maneuvers that took place last night just outside Switchyard Park. Those were Special Operations Aviation Regiments apparently performing training maneuvers in the midst of a residential area. There are training areas all over Ft Bragg, Quantico and Ft Campbell that look like towns & buildings, where they can actually use live ammunition to do these types of maneuvers. I understand our military needs to train - but why Bloomington? It seems way out of the ordinary.

Was not informed of military exercise that took place overnight from 07Jun to 08Jun. The noise from the plane/chopper was alarming & was loud enough to rattle windows. It also continued extremely late into the night (~ 2:30 am) which was a significant noise disturbance during quiet hours. City did not provide notice that (1) this was going to occur or (2) the timing of the exercise.

If the military and police were planning to engage in night training this evening, WHY was the public on the south side of Bloomington not notified? Many residents were scared and are extremely angry they were not informed. People were outside wondering what was going on. The helicopters were flying incredibly low over our houses, literally shaking our homes. Social media was lit up with reports of loud booms, police, shooting, and people were scared. This was irresponsible for Bloomington residents to not be notified.

Want to actually promote affordable housing? Utilize the stock we have. Instantly create beds by eliminating artificial 3 person cap on houses that can easily and safely house more. Concerned about issues, solve them. Limit parking permits per house, enforce noise, enforce trash. But we have empty bedrooms that could easily have two people per bedroom in many instances. For no good reason. Go bold. A simple policy change will do more than your construction efforts have the last few years. Let's do this.

If the City can host an event for Juneteenth, which is fantastic, it can host an event for Pride. Trans lives in particular are under attack right now. Let's celebrate the unique queer life Bloomington possesses. Thank you for considering. We can do more. Maybe even just an award for either LGBT activism and/or community contribution from a LGBT resident that can be part of a volunteer awards night or something that I believe Lucy Scaich hosts? Starting small is fine. But Bloomington Pride is not representative of everyone so it would be great for local government to be a player too.

Under bridge near grimes and Morton is an illegal homeless camp that has an increasing amount of trash surrounding the area. This has been reported over several months by multiple people but nothing has been done. Why? There are a number of laws/ordnance’s being broken! Why do we have different standards for different people in this community?

Hello. I'm following up with 175683. Does the City now have plans for how they'll be promoting the LGBTQ+ community for June (and beyond is great too)? Thank you.

Hello! Please relocate the people living in the many growing homeless camps along the B-line next to Switchyard Park. The day before yesterday, my mother was riding her bike early in the morning through Switchyard, and a crazy homeless guy was chasing people on a bike and swinging a baseball bat around. A mid-30s white homeless guy with wavy hair comes around our house about once a week (we live on 2509 S Camden) and gives my 3-year-old daughter and my pregnany wife dirty looks and yells obscenities.
We are renting and the owner will not pay for fancy fences or security cameras. We cannot afford to pay for those either, as I am a graduate student. Many of my neighbors are also getting increasingly annoyed with homeless people trespassing and breaking into their cars.
Me and my family feel unsafe on our own front porch. Please do something about this problem as it is getting worse.
Best,
Daniel Cueto

The Kmart should definitely have housing but not ALL housing. That is a prime spot for community use. There should be a hotel or restaurant or some sort of component even a public park maybe? But not nothing but bedrooms :(.
