Hello, I manage Winslow Farm Community Association. The owners in Sweetbriar are complaining about homeless living in the woods between their houses and Graham Drive. This area is actually owned by the City - parcels numbers 53-08-09-405-010.000-009 and 53-08-09-405-009.000-009. Could the City please clear out the brush so it's not easy for people to hide here? Thank you for your time, Carole
The bench on the NW corner of Dunn and Kirkwood is broken. :-(
City pathway is popular sight for criminal activity such as: drug deals and use (used needles are common on stairs of city path), destruction of public and private property, fighting, littering, public urination and feces, and this year we've had two occurrences of people on the path discharging guns (~1pm last night was the most recent occurrence- see police report). The stairs on the path are unsafe and create a safe haven for criminal activity because the police can not pursue the suspects down the path or stairs. Instead the police have to drive around the block to try and head of the criminals and thus allows them to evade police. My community and the police officers are requesting that these dilapidated stairs and path be removed. They are public menace to our community and Bloomington society as a whole. Please help us protect our community by removing this criminal gateway into our neighborhood. My fellow community members and I will continue to post updates on our problems, interactions with criminal (e.g. death threats) and reporting of criminal activities associated with this path (including photos).
Hello! The street light on our street keeps going off and on, off and on, and we would like for you to look at it and see if it can be repaired. It is the only street light on our street and it's pitch black when it goes out, which is a safety hazard. It is the one on South Covey Lane between Thornton Drive and Miller Drive. It is right by an old red shed, and across from 1720 & 1724 South Covey Lane. We would appreciate it so much if you would repair it. Thank you.
Once again the police have had to come into our area, following a street fight along the sidewalk between our homes. Just 2 nights ago shots were being fired less than 12ft. from my grandson's bedroom at 1am on that sidewalk. Police did find 1 of the 6 teens. Yesterday the fight landed two young adults in my driveway seeking refuge from an out of control violent young man. I'm disabled on crutches, and when I tried to stop the attacker from coming on my property he threatened serious harm to me and my grandson. Just before it got deadly, police with a K-9 arrived. Thank you BPD. The cut-thru sidewalk has become a danger and a menace to all of us and it is used mainly for bad activity. It needs to be closed, and the broken steps up to 12th street need to go. Many of us are elderly, disabled, and tired of these constant problems. City leaders NEED to come and see this area, and the trash, broken steps, empty drug needles, etc. We need help beyond having to call BPD all the time. Please take this seriously before someone is not just assaulted again, but perhaps shot. 2 gun incidents this spring is 2 too many. Thank You.
Several street lights are burned out. We have experienced some mischief and need the lights. Beginning with the light at 537 N. Plymouth, the lights are out heading south at least up to 703 N. Plymouth.
Several houses on Woodhill Drive have various issues from broken garage doors (see picture) to overflowing trash cans and mold growing on the siding. Caladbolg is listed as the owner of these properties. How can we keep them from letting their properties get like this! These owners are true slumlords and I would like to file a complaint.
Road mirror install. how do I find out about putting up a road mirror at N Mt Gilead and N Mt Gilead Rd
Street light at 1310 W 12th St and the next light just west (1300 W 12th St) are not working. Duke energy does not maintain these lights. These have been out for over a year. Can they please be fixed? Would make it easier for police to see what is going on.
I was just on Ferguson Park trail and a woman in a blue minivan had an unleashed dog that bit me but she drove off before I could get her plate tag. She ignored me when I asked her to retrieve her pets.
