Homeless trying to break into house and causing disturbance along b-line trail, trespassing on private residences and public property
Homeless trying to break into house and causing disturbance along b-line trail, trespassing on private residences and public property
Tree in front now has had 3 major limbs removed due to storms. Could the tree be completely removed? It is one of the invasive species found all over town, all of which should be cut down. (Bradford Pear)
The walking/bike trail opposite the Ferguson Dog Park was NOT cleared of snow and we just observed a person pushing, with great difficulty, another person in a wheelchair on this snow/slush covered walk. Shouldn’t the City clear it’s walks just as it expects homeowners to do?
grass along street is at least 4 feet high.
The oak tree in the front of our house has dead branches throughout the tree that we would like to have pruned. Also, could the health of the tree be checked as well? There seems to be more dead branches than there have been in previous years. Thank you.
Mud and metal plates on construction-temporary-alt-route of clear-creek trail are dangerous to pedestrians and cycling especially when wet
Dead street tree in ROW along the south side of 7th Street half-way between Grant and Dunn, and immediately west of the former entrance to the Poplars. Attached image from Google maps is from July 2023, healthy and perhaps newly planted.
On June 4, 2024, the Bloomington Police were on the Rail Trail with their patrol cars for a disturbance / argument at a homeless camp around 11:45am. On June 5, 2024, around 7:45am the Monroe Fire Protection District was on the Rail Trail for some sort of fire related issue at a homeless camp. This is on the Rail Trail north of Gordon Pike and south of Country Club Drive, in the Terrace Drive vicinity and to the east of the trail in the woods. Can the City clear ALL of the homeless camps along the Rail Trail between Country Club and Gordon? The ongoing threat to public safety in 2024 that the City allows along this trail is asking for problems. The City must put an end to this now before someone gets harmed.
Just before 10am on June 6, 2024, the same group from U-report 188774 are arguing yet again out in the woods along the Rail Trail. 2 or 3 people are shouting and cussing at each other. This has been going on for 20+ minutes this morning and is starting to be a regular, daily occurrence now. This is annoying to nearby property owners and frightening to trail users. Clear these homeless camps out, from Gordon Pike to Country Club Drive. The City's inaction along the Rail Trail is allowing the problem to not just continue, but grow ever since the Switchyard camps were cleared and more people moved south. This is a threat to the safety of everyone in the area, and dangerous for the homeless camp residents as it is a challenging area for police to respond to quickly if situations escalate.
The morning of June 15, 2024, around 6:30am the Monroe Fire Protection District was out on the Rail Trail for a fire at the homeless camps north of Gordon Pike on City owned property. The City should not be allowing the homeless to openly burn material back in the woods there. The fire department cannot easily get their equipment back into the wooded area to deal with fires at the homeless camps.
