Case Date:

There is a very active illegal homeless encampment located immediately south of the Indiana Rail Road overpass and immediately west of College Avenue and east of the Morton Street dead-end; in Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1747596,-86.5358286,3a,75y,39.76h,83.3t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sqPoXwFjh7ATdt8Gpx650kQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DqPoXwFjh7ATdt8Gpx650kQ%26cb_client%3Dsearch.revgeo_and_fetch.gps%26w%3D96%26h%3D64%26yaw%3D51.93823%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192. This is a heavily overgrown area. The encampment includes a large tarp roof area and at least one hammock. I observed yesterday at least ten (10) people clearly living in this area.

Graffiti

629 N Fairview ST

Case Date:
1/7/2022

Greetings. On a daily basis I commute as a pedestrian through my neighborhood. Part of my route involves the view of an entire length of a building filled with phrases such as, LETS WRECK SHIT, Hot For Crime, and LOSER. I wrote a letter over a year ago politely requesting the property owner remedy this. Additionally, I suggested they consider planting a hedgerow of sorts to restrict people's access to the wall. I have not received a reply, and no action has been taken. Can the city please address this? Also, There is graffiti all over the wall directly across from this but that is more offensive on a subjective level. Ultimately, both properties are owned by the same entity, and it would be really great if they maintained their property in a way that made the streets of Bloomington feel safe and civil. Thank you.

Street Lights

629 N Fairview ST

Case Date:
1/19/2022

In response to uReport case #178550, if the property owner has had to repeatedly paint over graffiti, then perhaps the built environment could be examined to see if any improvements could be made that would benefit the property owner as well as residents. A walk down that street at night reveals pitch black darkness. There is a light at the T intersection of Fairview and 11th, but the illumination does not reach around the bend in Fairview. The property has a light in their lot which actually causes the sidewalk on Fairview to be even darker in contrast. It has never felt safe as a pedestrian or cyclist but that can be remedied by personal use of lights. However, having the street illuminated could help to make it less hospitable for delinquent behavior as well as the wonderful bonus of increased safety for non-motorist travelers. Lastly, vehicles regularly speed down the decline on 11th, fail to stop at the stop sign, and continue around the bend on Fairview. I would think that increased illumination would be helpful to those motorists who are already driving recklessly. Thank you.

Feb 15 - I would like to uderstand what happened to my alley and stone wall. The alley that I maintain and mow since 2005 now has a load of greavel dumped on it - without any notification or reason. This makes it unsightly, less usable for walking and unmowable. Portions of the stone retaining wall along N Fairview Street have also been destroyed. Neighbors reported seeing a City truck knocking the wall down and then trying to jam it back in place with a backhoe. But the results of how it was left can be seen in the attached photo. Both of these will be costly to repair. Do you know who was responsible for this?

All of N Madison street parking by the Mill is reserved for permit holders from the Mill. When will permit parkers be directed to the Trades Parking Garage, and make North Madison available for public metered parking?
