I believe there is a problem with distracted driving in Bloomington despite there being a state law about hands-free driving for a few years now. Please inform me what BPD is doing to directly address this danger to the public safety of this city. Thank you.

I took Captain Pedigo up on the suggestion to contact the ISP and am now sharing the replies I go:
"Thank you for taking the time to send us a note of concern for drivers utilizing celllular devices while driving. We have listed the statue below for your review and will forward you concern to the commander of the bloomington district. If you see a violation, please don’t hesitate to report the driver to your local police/sheriff's office or the closest ISP post."
"The bloomington police department is still responsible for traffic infractions even if they have staff shortages. Police departments throughout the nation are experiencing staffing shortages however still continue to serve the public."

I walk home along Adams St. I've noticed in the wooded area on the east side of the street south of the railroad (in the utility easement) there appears to be a homeless camp setting up.

There are two abandoned vehicles parked on W. Dove Drive, near the corner of Falcon and Dove. The white van and white SUV have parked here for over four weeks. The owners, who live in the house on the corner of Falcon/Dove, are in the process of selling the house, and have left the two cars there for months. It creates a traffic hazard when turning the corner, especially at night.

There are two abandoned vehicles, a white van and a white SUV, parked on West Dove Drive in the Eagleview subdivision, at the corner of Falcon and Dove. They have been parked on the street for well over a month. The white van has a flat tire and has not been moved for weeks. The SUV is parked directly behind the van, and the two cars are close enough to the corner of Falcon and Dove that they create a hazard when turning on to Dove Drive at night.

There a many locations in the neighborhood with shoes hanging from wires. We have attempted to contact the various utility companies, but can be an extensive hassle because they insist on there being an active account at a particular address for them to start a service call. It seems the shoes are mostly hanging from ATT lines, but there are some other communication lines (coaxial cable) and also some electric lines that are being weighed down by shoes. This problem extends at least from 8th to 15th streets, and between Washington and Woodlawn, and is mostly visible in the alleys though some wires passing over streets are also cluttered with shoes. It makes the neighborhood look so trashy. Is this an actual crime? If so, should the police be called if it is witnessed? Would it help if a complete set of locations were sent to some office?

First off, the B-line is trashed. The woods on the edge of the trail are absolutely covered in trash. There were fires lit, and the creek to carrying the trash down to our more major waterways. Now, the residents of this camp are driving cars to their encampments along the b-line, blocking the trails, and making enormous ruts in the trail and grass along the side of the trail. Furthermore, I am a large white, male. I was concerned for my safety (ON THE B-LINE) as three (obvious methamphetamine enthusiasts) came out of the woods while I was passing by. Their behavior was not normal, and being three of them would scare most people from using this important public space - including myself.
