The Switchyard Park public restrooms near the splash pool were locked at 8pm Sunday while a 7pm orchestra concert was ongoing. The posted closing time is inconsiderate of the hundreds of music lovers in the concert audience who were not aware of a facilities curfew. The sympathetic parks employee said he was instructed to lock the building. In the interest of respecting anticipated needs of park users for whom the venue was built, please review the reasons for having a restroom lockdown policy during events that are expected to have a large audience.

The playground mulch area is getting overgrown by grass and weeds. It’s a tripping hazard for my toddler (can’t see edges of walkways and changes in elevation) and looks unsightly. Some form of weed control needs done… at minimum it needs to be mowed regularly. Thank you!!

Forward to Mayor and whoever is involved in approving this. Same sex restrooms at Switchyard park?!! Seriously? I am a lifelong resident of Bloomington of 66 years. I am absolutely appalled at the restrooms being open to whatever sex wants to use them with each other. I had no idea until I visited for the first time and had to use the restroom. My mouth dropped when I read the signs on both sides of the building. What is wrong with the people doing this? For the love of God, put in women and men’s restrooms! The leadership in Bloomington is absolutely rotten in allowing women and children to share a restroom with males. I refuse to ever go to that park or any future park again that allows this. It’s obviously a democratic agenda that has destroyed the town of Bloomington. Keep men out of women and children’s restrooms! Where did you people come from to do such a thing and risk women and children to be sexually assaulted or preyed upon? We want to feel safe and comfortable when we use the restroom. Sick.

Seminary Square Park, there is a big tent-like structure covered with a blue tarp. Does not look like it was erected this morning. Soon there might be more. Is the No-tents-in-parks during the night ordinance being enforced?

I would like to advocate an end to the % fee system for Food & Beverage Artisans. We need to support local food producers who are already competing with by stores such as Kroger etc. Let's spend our $ on locally grown food & take away another challenge that they are facing in trying to seel their products locally.

We want to advocate for our local artisans and their unfair percentage fee for participating in the market. We love Muddy Fork Bakery and several other local food and drink artisans and would love to have them included in the City Market, but think it is unfair that they are slapped with such a high fee just to participate. I believe that if the market is open to more vendors, it will thrive and be even more popular with customers. I hope you will consider a change to the rule so that the market can help build a diverse local economy that benefits the business owners, employees, and consumers.

This is a thank you. I have recently noticed workers in Bryan Park playgrounds using a bucket and a spiked pole to pick up pieces trash. Such an improvement over using leafblowers. Please also answer this question: when workers are using leafblowers in the playgrounds, what is the reason? I have several times uReported my objections to that practice that stirs up dust, creates noise pollution, and fills the air with exhaust fumes. All that, it seemed to me, without any real purpose. But let me add: I have also noticed much less leafblowing recently. For that, THANKS!
