The morning of June 15, 2024, around 6:30am the Monroe Fire Protection District was out on the Rail Trail for a fire at the homeless camps north of Gordon Pike on City owned property. The City should not be allowing the homeless to openly burn material back in the woods there. The fire department cannot easily get their equipment back into the wooded area to deal with fires at the homeless camps.

The homeless camp along the Rail Trail north of Gordon Pike is burning trash on the evening of June 18, 2024, after 10pm. The smell is very strong in the surrounding area. The City needs to put a stop to this activity immediately as it is occurring illegally on City owned property. The city is allowing the homeless to openly burn on City property, which is ridiculous.
This was reported as a fire hazard, and also being reported as a trails issue to keep the parks dept updated on the activity along the Rail Trail. Large fire at 10:10pm on June 19, 2024, in the woods along the Rail Trail. The homeless camp on City-owned property (according to the GIS) is burning a large, open fire this evening. This is on the Rail Trail north of Gordon Pike maybe 0.3 to 0.4 miles, east and south of the Terrace Drive area. This is a significant hazard to the City property and neighboring private property. The fires need to stop and the camps need to be cleared out immediately before the homeless burn acres of woods, fences, sheds, houses, trailers -- anything in the vicinity could go up in flames soon.
Hello, there is a tree down across the Bloomington Rail Trail about 100-150 yards south of the 1/2 mile marker (coming from the Country Club tarilhead). Thank you.
Homeless encampment off B line trail.
Someone has been camping in the woods east of the rail trail behind my house for the past week. They have multiple dogs and have been running a generator.
There is a sick and unstable tree that is posing a big risk for the neighbors, some of which walking with kids and strollers (babies). Please take care of this asap. It's at 4007 E stonegate Ct. 47401.
In the fall we had a Bradford Pear tree removed from the easement in front of our house as it was falling apart. They left a lot of mulch in the area, and we were told a tree would get planted there. To date, no tree or reseeding has been placed. Looking for further instruction to what we need to or can do as far as replanting.
Branch has detached from tree and is stuck in tree branches, hanging in the street. Could become disentangle and be a hazard.
