Us residents in Broadview are having more and more issues with this homeless camp behind the IMI concrete plant. There is trash everywhere, shopping carts left in the street, people yelling at all hours, people burning trash every day, people trespassing, and now fights are breaking out. The groups that have been there lately are more aggressive and it’s starting to get out of control. Why the city is condoning this as the spot to throw the homeless is beyond ridiculous and why is there no police presence? My neighbors called the cops last night about the fight that broke out and I don’t remember seeing anyone show up. Why is this camo being allowed? Why is it not being monitored with a higher police presence? Why are we the ones that have to deal with this mess? And why is this being allowed so close to a neighborhood that is now making everything unsafe in this area? Please, do better than this. It has gotten way out of control.

Countless bags of trash and debris are left on parking lot at this location for an excess of a week now, we believe these are left here by the homeless crowd as they have been camping at this location previously. Obviously this church has no interest in dealing with this problem and sack of trash may contain hazardous material. Typically the hummus are leaving drugs and or needles, syringe, etc..

I am reaching out this morning to ask that the city address the homeless camp site next to RCA park north of Cherokee Dr and IMI concrete plant. I believe this was supposed to addressed after the severe cold a while back. Most of us on Cherokee Dr were completely understanding and have been tolerant of the homeless camp. However, the size of this camp has ballooned to highly unsafe levels. Unsafe for the residents of the camp and to the residents in this neighborhood. There has been a sharp increase in trespassing, fighting, littering all over the neighborhood, abandoned bikes and other junk. There is a constant flow of people up Cherokee and behind it and it’s only increasing. Three nights ago we had someone knocking on doors and trespassing at multiple houses. I could hear a neighbor yelling at this man because he was creeping around his house. I caught him on camera as well as a guy last night who climbed on my porch and moved furniture to look through my window. Does that sound a little creepy? It is. Stuff like this has happened more often and it really needs to be addressed. We have the services here in town, maybe not to help this number of people , but we have services and camping on private property and harassing a neighborhood as well as a new neighborhood being built isn’t part of those services. Please look into clearing this camp as soon as possible and preventing it from being established again. It’s been cleared a few times, only to have the problem increase in numbers time and time again. It is unsafe and unsanitary and the problem is only getting worse by the day.

1037 Emery Court is a Jeff Jones property that is on the legal action list. There were people looking at the property that reported that Jeff Jones is going to sell them the property on contract. This is the second property that residents in the neighborhood have heard this happening in the last couple of weeks. This neighborhood has had to put up with Jeff Jones for 20+ years. We were hopeful that the legal case was going to fix this slum lord situation. Jeff Jones has sold this house on contract or rent to own more times then I can count in the 20 years I have lived in this neighborhood. He has sold every house in the Walnut Creek subdivision neighborhood that he owns on contract repeatedly. It is a total scam. None of these houses ever are actually sold. We thought the legal litigation was going to stop Jeff Jones from continuing his slumlord ways. What is going on to address this?

Hello: I am sick of seeing these vagrants walking by my house at the corner of College Street and West Hillside Drive. I spoke to an officer last Tuesday and requested more police car drive by’s, evidently it is not working. I appreciate it, if more police cars can be visible in this neighborhood, behind the Switchyard Park, which drives them in. Please put a barrier on College Street and the South Side of the park by the Walnut Street side of the SWITCHYARD Park Parking Lot where the vagrants enter and exit with back packs and bicycles going through the Railroad Park neighborhood where your police department and YOU ignore for safety. I’ve reported this issue to Governor Braun, Erin Houchin US Representative of the House of Representatives and US Senator Todd Young. Please feel free to visit me at 117 W.Hillside Drive in your fair city for a front yard porch chat to watch all the “traffic “ go by my house. Thank you, Maryann Iaria 117 W. Hillside Drive Bloomington,IN. 47403 812-325–8654

I witnessed this officer using an extraordinary amount of verbal and physical force when arresting this man for riding the wrong way down walnut. The amount of unbridled rage displayed publicly by this officer driving car 1263 is dangerous and should be investigated thoroughly.
