I am the President of the Board of Trustees at Unity of Bloomington. Our parking lot is partially owned by us, and partially City property as the B-Line runs behind our building on S. Rogers & Gordon Pk. (We currently maintain the entire parking lot vis-a-vis snow removal etc.) Recent changes, especially in Switchyard Park, have precipitated a migration of unhoused persons south on the B-Line trail. The UoB parking lot has become a stop-over for derelict vehicles and we're experiencing a significant increase in loitering and trash. The Board of Trustees recognizes that this is an important ministry opportunity, and we are engaged in prayerful consideration of reasonable steps forward. In the meantime, we host a nursery school in our facility and safety is an ongoing concern. My current request is this: 1. Could we receive help from the City to secure a larger trash barrel than the small trail-sized container currently in place near our parking lot (and would it be up to us or the City to tend it)? 2. Could the City help by providing a cigarette butt receptacle for our parking lot? (My husband and I collected more than 100 cigarette butts from the Unity parking lot before services last Sunday) 3. Are there any other recommendations or resources the City might provide in a situation such as this? Thank you for any advice and assistance you can provide, Joanie Spain UoB Board President

There is a hydrant with a big mound of dirt adjacent to it and snow fencing surrounding it completely. This is at 9th and Fairview. This seems like a hazard. It looks to be part of the city’s fiber projectI

There is a bench with a bus stop on N Illinois St across from N Illinois CT where the playground is always blocked by parked vehicles now that the no parking sign has gone missing. The bus can't pull over to the curb where there is concrete connecting the sidewalk so people in wheelchairs and with crutches can safely get on the bus' lift system. You have to walk out into the road now, and can't see the bus very well or other cars coming. Traffic coming from the other way has to come to a complete stop, now, when the bus comes through. When I politely asked the people parking there if they could leave enough room for the bus to pull over because I'm about to have surgery and be in a wheelchair to get to work, they called me fat and told me to walk as they were getting out of their parked vehicles, and they were very mean for no reason. We all live in public housing here, and I use public transportation for work. We also don't have any grocery stores close and have to take a bus to get food. We need no parking signs at our bus stops, and painted curbs showing people the width of the bus on N Illinois, and possibly the one attending corner of Lindbergh Dr and whatever that cross street is as well. Now that those remodeled units are becoming occupied, there will always be cars there unless we get No Parking signs for our bus stops. Thank you.

Bus stop on N Illinois St across from Illinois Court in Crestmont badly needs no parking signs and painted curbs that indicate the length of the bus. People in wheelchairs cannot access the lift, and people are having to walk out into the road to catch the bus. It's on a hill and the parked vehicles effect visibility of oncoming bus, and you can't see any cars coming that might be in front of the bus. Oncoming traffic has to come to a complete stop, now, because the bus has trouble squeezing through. Sometimes, the bus has to just sit and wait. There's a concrete slab that connects the sidewalk with the road the bus driver can no longer lower the wheelchair lift onto because of the cars. The units there were empty, but now they are being rented, and the no parking sign that used to be there is gone. We need a painted curb the length of a bus, and clear markings. We also need parking enforcement to actually do their job when we call, but there's no sign there telling people not to park. The people who park there are mean and told me I should walk to work (and called me fat and lazy,) instead of taking public transportation when I have surgery coming up. I can’t even have a reasonable conversation with them, so I'm turning to you. Thank you.
