The homwless are back dragging in matress and blankets and much miscellaneous putting an enclosure, then leaving and of course leaving piles of trash Much of th trash looks like items given them so they can live on the streets then they abandon it all and get more items to live elsewhere and leave trash there again. When will this giving to them stop so they have to be in shelters.
the abominable condition of the large homeless camp has been made even more disasterous by flooding. Debris and probably syringes are now plastered onto trees for a great distance
Around 6pm on 8/29/22 I was in upper cascade and a man drives a truck right up to me in the shelter house I started to gather my things even though the sign said open I saw the city work flip it to that this morning to open and seen many workers though out the day and was not told about any resuvsions so when they so when they told me they had this for the Bloomington north volleyballso I told him he should have reserved it and you really shouldn't park up here if you're not city, he told me they did reserved it and they just talked to a city worker that it was okay drive up to the sheltet, I told him that the really should have the sign right sorry to bother you and left to go to lower cascade to make this report.
The wood mulch surface of the playground structure at Park Ridge park needs replenished. As a regular park goer, it appears to me that the wood has degraded and other wise been slowly moved away from the play area over time. Currently, there is bare ground in spots of high foot traffic and increased potential of erosion from those spots, plant growth, etc. Also, I am not aware of the mulch having been replenished since the park was remade. Given that that renovation was completed 3 years ago, it seems like it is just time to add some more mulch. If it would be helpful to have pictures or additional information, please feel free to contact me and request that. Thank you for addressing this concern. Sincerely, John Metzcar
In reference to case #158545 regarding Park Ridge Park, we looked at the park and the mulch cover appears to be unchanged since the case was closed. There is still a general lack of mulch and several bare spots underneath the playground structure. Also, the first mowing occurred, which is great. Unfortunately, it has revealed bare spots in the grass surrounding the playground, in particular along the north west side of the park. Leaves were piled in that area over winter (and several other areas) and the grass has not come back. Could grass seed/straw be put down in that sloped area northwest of the playground structure as well as other areas that need it? Thank you.
It would be great if the Bryan Park loop and the winslow park loop had spray painted markings of 0m/Start, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1600m and possibly 1k, 2k, or 3k. This would be helpful for walkers and runners to encourage them to set goals. I see community members running these circuits b/c the High school track are not open to the public.
A board of the fence along Polly Grimshaw Trail immediately adjacent to the basketball court in Park Ridge Park has come off and is in need of repair. Thank you.
Please turn on the fountain at Park Ridge Park.
The tree in front of my residence is dying. Many dead branches. I believe the tree need to be cut down. My address is 3126 Eagle Creek Drive, Bloomington 61704
