Parks & Playgrounds
501 N Morton ST
- Case Date:
- 5/24/2020
Hi there. I wanted to first commend the parks department for putting their resources towards purchasing trees and having staff plant them in Schmalz Farm Park to help with the ecological restoration of the area. Projects like this are what make Bloomington such a great place to live!
However, I have also been informed that, due to the complaint of one individual about taking up space for children to play, these trees are to be removed next week. I believe that this is a grave mistake - there are plenty of other parts of the park for children to play, the fragile young trees will likely not recover from another transplant, and the hard work of all of the parks employees will be for naught.
I urge the parks department to reconsider this direction and leave the trees to prosper where they have been planted, helping to keep a Bloomington Park in great shape for years to come.
Water Quality
501 N Morton ST
- Case Date:
- 7/7/2020
Having visited the county government offices at the showers building recently I am shocked at the water quality. I had taken a drink from a water fountain and it was so bad. There is a bad chemical taste and it even smells weird. I hope this isn't what we expect the county workers to be drinking because I fear they could get sick from drinking it. I was just a visitor to the busing that took a drink from the water fountain. I couldn't imagine working in a building that has unsafe drinking water.
City Performance

Why are there at least 5 open LGBT requests not receiving responses and action on here, across various departments? I'm wondering when a new mural representing the queer community will go up to replace the one with references (pride and trans flags) that was painted over downtown. It's great that two BLM ones are going up, but erasing one of the only visible City-sponsored symbols of LGBT acceptance in a world that is increasingly hostile toward it is not ok. Queer issues are not some flavor of the day no longer needing attention. Queer rights are under attack and I'd like the City to actually take a stand and show some allyship.

Debris Removal (Sand, General Street Debris)
501 N Morton ST
- Case Date:
- 2/9/2024
There are signs in this drain of the Monroe county govt parking lot. It is obvious that someone intentionally lifted this heavy inlet and placed trash and street sign in the way. This needs corrected immediately to fix stormwater flow here. How often are these cleaned out in this parking lot? There is so much debris and breaking apart asphalt that Monroe county is not maintaining. Also they cut down their trees and smoking continues too close to the building. How is this allowed?
