Has the mayor issued a Pride/LGBT proclamation for the month? I would assume so. Can you post the link where that can be found? For a town that touts diversity every chance it gets year after year I'm sad how little celebration I see of our queer demographic and the diversity within. Thank you for your support.
Quite a few people seem to be living under the bridge in tents, spilling out onto the adjacent sidewalk and blocking it. There are also tents behind the closed car wash near the downtown post office. I hope we find better homes for these individuals.
City government should set an example and require covid vaccines like any responsible employer. As the mayor gives his conferences his employees get and spread illness?
Lots of trash along with stolen shopping carts under bridge at grimes and Morton. Also illegal overnight camping on city property. Area is a complete dump!
Area under bridge at grimes and Morton has turned into an environmental hazard. Trash everywhere and smells like sewage. Due to a lack of city doing anything, environmental waste company now needs called and thousands of tax paying dollars spend!
Trash scattered everywhere from illegal homeless camp under bridge at grimes and Morton. Been camping there 3-6 + months illegally!
There is tons of trash from homeless camps/people all along the b-line. Most importantly by Kroger seminary square and under the bridge by grimes and Morton. Since the city refuses to clean it up or hold anybody accountable, I urge all Bloomington residents to pick up the trash and dump it on the courthouse. Don’t worry you can’t get in any trouble, since they have known about these issues for multiple months and are ok with not doing anything they cannot all of a sudden decide to enforce the laws now! #takebackourcity
I understand hands being tied with the homeless population but I find it very unnerving and scary that the tent campers next to transit are standing at the fence of the parking lot and peeing while the employees of transit are present and across the street where there is a park which could have children present…..I’m so upset that this is allowed to continue and I can’t walk into the office without being exposed to some random man
Stop pursuing opposing goals. You now have a form to more vigorously enforce a stupid policy of artificially limiting occupancy without a clear connection to size, parking, etc. While you also want to increase density? So let's get this right ... You want to build expensive structures (which I don't oppose) when you could create that many beds by simply dropping the archaic anti-modern family rule of capping huge units at three people for no reason? Think this through. We have empty unutilized bedrooms in this town. You're being held hostage by special interests. We need creative and real solutions to affordability. They exist.
Ban fireworks. Harms vets, pets, causes fire, and more. A city celebration is plenty. Can shoot in the country if desired.
