Obstruction of sidewalk by protesters. It happens almost every day but especially bad on Thursdays. They intimidate people walking and post horrific images and also park a very large van every day. This needs to stop and reflects horribly on our city to have people out harassing pedestrians all the time.

At least three residents south of campus (elm heights) have described a "scruffy male" (2 noted him on a bike) taking mail and/or UPS packages from their porch. Perhaps some afternoon patrolling would help. One evening attempted break-in also recently described. Thank you.

Vehicles on north Washington are constantly parking in the bike lane. Parking enforcement has indicated this is not a violation they ticket. Why not?
Also, why do we even have bike lanes that are less than half a meter wide?

Hello,
I live near the Building Trades Park. For at least the past six weeks, the shelter nearest the playground has been consistently occupied by the same three to six individuals. They are most likely homeless.
About three weeks ago, they became violent with our neighbors, and the police were called twice. Two individuals in the group displayed a knife and a metal pole. Arguments seem to keep breaking out.
These individuals also frequently have one to two dogs with them, which are not leashed.
If other residents wished to use this shelter, they cannot. This group is there from at least 7am (when I leave my house in the mornings) until the park closes around 11pm.
I don't feel safe knowing that this group has claim "turf" as if the shelter is their home. I've voiced my concerns with a Park Department Employee who told me that the group is entitled to stay there. This is a public park, not their home. I have lived on Howe Street for the past two years, and this has never been a problem. However, I do not feel safe anymore. Please address this issue.
Thank you for your time.

Meters,
Today is government holiday so I thought the meters would be off. However I found it wasn't the case. Some meters read "free parking" and some read the regular about and running times. I wanted to check to see if your website mention that the meters were running the webpage cited the holidays and dates the meters were off but today wasn't mentioned. I paid $3.00 just to be safe because I rather pay now than have a $50 tickets. However I feel that the meter should be constant and that you web page give a clear answer.
Thank you for your time,
Ashley

Failure of bloomington police department to respond to create an incident report of a serious health threat. On Oct. 28 at approximately 12:45 pm I ordered a sandwich from wichwich sandwich store on East Kirkwood ave and ask them to not place bacon on the sandwich because I have mammalian meat allergy, an allergy to all mammal meat that causes anaphylaxis. I went back to work at 517 E. Kirkwood Ave. and began to eat and after a few bites discovered there was bacon on the sandwich. I immediately returned to wichwich and they apologized for the mistake, admitting their error. I called bloomington police to fill out an incident report because anaphylaxis in mammalian meat allergy occurs 5-7 hours after consumption, when I will be at home 12 miles away from a hospital. If I have to go to the emergency room and receive any resultant care or if there is any medical or health damage - LIKE DEATH - due to this error, I wanted a police report that included the statements from the employees that they had heard my request and erred, so as to be able to support any need for costs and damages that will occur. The bloomington police department refused to send an officer to the scene. I learned this after I called the police department back after waiting 40 minutes at the store. The sergeant on duty as shift commander who refused to send a unit to the scene was Rashe. there is no place on this city website to lodge a complaint, only a place to offer compliments.....right....So what a wonderful city; hopefully my child won't be without a father after tonight.

There is a person by CVS on North Walnut who is shining a light or something that causes a person to have severe vision problems momentarily. This has happened to me several times. I see something like stars for several minutes and then it goes away. I prefer not to give my name, but this is something I have experienced several times in this area while out walking. This is causing a major safety concern and is a severe disturbance. I believe there is a person doing this or a person is programming a piece of technology to do this. I've been the victim of several assaults in Bloomington besides this specific problem.
