Referencing Case#169529 I'm sorry. I realize the situation of the owner, but it has been a long time. Swifter action would have been taken in another part of the City. That is not fair or equitable to other property owners living in the area. This vehicle fits under the city ordinance definition of "abandoned," and, while it is on private property, is in violation, because it sits in clear view of the public. Thank you.
There cops spend an inordinate amount of time responding to calls at this house because of the illegal activity happening there, including a SWAT raid relatively recently. Despite that, people are still living in sheds behind the house, burining dangerous fires, fighting at all hours of the day and night, and have 3 dogs that are off-leash and are agressive to everyone in the neighborhood. This whole neighborhood desperatley needs the city to effectively deal with this situation
This car has been parked here since Monday. It appears someone may be living out of it. If the person who owns the vehicle is associated with a nearby home, it would be safer for the car to be parked in that driveway.
Homeless on the way to work. Every morning I drive north on Walnut from the south-side of Bloomington. As I approach town around 7:45ish. It is a typical sight these days to feel like I'm in a zombie apocalypse. Homeless people are often wandering around with grubby blankets draped around themselves. Recently there has been in increase of "stuff" around a tree in Seminary Park. Today took the cake. It appeared that lots of the "stuff" migrated to the opposite side of the street. Amidst the pile of grubby blankets someone was asleep next to the trash can about two inches from cars whizzing by. This next to Sahara Mart. Someone all cuddled up sleeping basically in the morning traffic. Please help our community to stop being the epicenter of homeless destinations! My empathy is wearing thin. It appears that many of these people are "career" homeless. It's getting ridiculous, not to mention the chaos as I drive by the Shalom Center. There is often some type of show with people falling off the curb into the streets. Many of these people visibly appear to be under the influence or suffering a mental illness. This is NOT what I would want to see if I were exploring safe communities to send my family member to college. Please save this community.
I think it would be nice for the football motorcades to remember the speed limit on College through town is 25mph. They travel nearly double that.
Around 12:00 noon today.. 5-7 police cars and blocking the street..
Office Richmond (I believe was how he introduced himself) was called for wellness check in citizen in need. When approached he approached with hostility towards the people helping provide warm clothes to the woman. He attempted to “help” and the woman asked for him not to touch her and then abandoned the warm layers due to the officers advances and presence. Then instead of actually helping he turned his questioning and subsequently aggression towards me. He spoke loudly and condescending towards me and then abandoned helping the woman. It would be okay if police weren’t so fragile that instead being of assistance they become a safety issues for others. Please when people call for help or wellness send EMTs be police officers since their egos and aggression cannot be in check. Invest in actual training in social workers and healthcare workers not men and women with power complexes and the affinity for harming the most vulnerable in our community.

Drivers are constantly running the stop signs at Sheridan/Southdowns and Woodlawn intersection. I see it personally every single day. This is also a pedestrian crossing area and someone is bound to get hit someday.
