Is Bloomington just going to ignore the fact that the homeless underneath grimes and Morton have set up a bicycle chop shop? Are we going to pretend the 20-30 bikes and hundred of bike parts their have not been stolen from tax paying citizens?
The condition around the area of grimes and Morton on the b-line gets worse and worse by the day. There is trash everywhere! There are several illegal dwellings. Lots of stolen items from tax paying citizens (bikes, shopping carts, signs, etc). Why has the city allowed this for 6+ months? I get it, you would rather have them there vs. campus area or seminary square, but you were elected to withhold the laws/rules of the city for tax paying citizens. So do your job!!!!
Please put the east side marsh to use somehow. Empty big box buildings are horrible for our City
The situation on the b-line around grimes and Morton is apauling. The city should be embarrassed at how they are handling this. I guess I should say, not handling this. This is not a safe area for anyone!!!! Walkers, city workers, local employers, and even the homeless. When will something be done? When someone gets hurt, raped, or worse dies? If that happens the city needs held accountable in their lack of response!
At what point will the city address the encampment under the Grimes St bridge? I rode my bike over the bridge yesterday and was shocked at the smell and the amount of makeshift tents. We make a point in avoiding that section of the B-Line. Please do something, it's disgusting.
Businesses are not following mask mandates I have been to rual King, Walmart, kroger west kroger south circle k all have mandate sighs but employees and customers are not wearing masks
Improvements on Smith need expedition. Contact State Highway and urge them please. Enough is enough.
I have no idea why it took so long, BUT it is so nice to be able to walk the b-line over the bridge and around the area of grimes and Morton and feel safe with my little kids. Please keep true to the rules and regulations surrounding Bloomington to provide to its citizens a safe community to raise children!
I had to call 911 for medical assistance for someone who was breathing, but appeared unconscious and was unresponsive. Around 10 min. later a police officer arrived for a well fare check and then he called for an ambulance. It ended up being more than 20 minutes after I'd called 911 that EMTs arrived. Why wouldn't they have sent an ambulance immediately? What I described to the dispatcher was a medical emergency. I understand that resources are tight, but I felt very frustrated and concerned for the unconscious person.
Our neighborhood has massive concerns regarding the new east third development. Kmart is ok but we are not convinced the city at all is taking traffic seriously. 3rd and Smith is not just backed up but dangerous. The hospital will open and overall this is not planned with any logic other than wanting more bedrooms. Is there green space or commercial components? Why allow so much parking? You can seriously be thinking this is public transportation oriented when there are more proposed parking spaces than bedrooms. 3rd has no safe crossings for bikes and pedestrians right now. So much wrong with lack of thinking ahead.
