Overgrown weeds and grass around the playground
Overgrown weeds and grass around the playground
Suspicious person has been parking in the Building Trades Park parking lot for months and seems to sit in his truck for hours almost every afternoon. As I was riding my bike by the parking lot, he drove out of the parking lot and followed me on Howe St heading east until I got on the b-line.
Homeless people camping in shelters in building and trades park - complete with air mattress, blankets, sleeping bags, bags. Have gotten way to comfortable. I've called central dispatch/non emergency police and nothing seems to happen. Would like to see lights under shelters in the near future to inhibit this behavior. I am a resident on Howe and am getting tired of seeing this and being kept up at night.
The mulberry tree in the right of way is leaning and likely to fall soon. It should be removed. Also the bank looks unstable.
Water fountain was turned off. Please turn it back on.
I'm wondering if a woolen blanket was found on a bench in Bryan Park recently. I brought it for seating and think I may have left it there. 9/7/20
There is at least one skunk living under the boardwalk/under the playground at Building Trades Park. Seen it multiple times in the last week or two. Lots of dogs and cats in the neighborhood -- worry it'll spray someone/someone's pet.
I Googled "Bloomington Rail Trail" and it shows up under the City Parks Department, as I thought was the case. So, I am submitting this report for the City, even though it is along a County road. The crossing of the Rail Trail at Rogers street south of Gordon Pike and north of That Road (which road? That Road) is overgrown on the southeast side of the crossing. When driving on Rogers from the south headed north, it is difficult to see the trail and trail users on the east side of Rogers. People drive fast on this part of Rogers. Can the city clean up this line of sight issue so people are safer crossing the road? Thanks.
