There was a handbill on my car, under the windshield wiper, in the 4th St. Garage today (image of front of bill attached, the other side is an ad for an event at the Upstairs Pub) as I left from work around 2:45. I noticed on the way out many other cars had the same handbill. I looked up municipal code 14.28.060 to see that it is unlawful to affix advertisements to automobiles in the city. I also saw on a City Solicitor Factsheet that solicitors are not allowed to operate in city owned parking lots or spots of any variation. Can someone follow up with the business to hold them accountable? Thank you.

Campers in park area between clear creek and the rail trail. Campers often have a fire going and the fire department has been called. An assault occurred at the camp with a police report. Campers are in flood plain, which is hazardous for them. Yelling can frequently be heard all hours of the day by neighboring residences. Beacon has been contacted and is unable to reach out at this time. There is a noticeable decrease of people hiking this part of the park and a decrease in wild birds in the area.

There is a foul odor in the neighborhood on some evenings after dark. It smells like chemicals to me. Other neighbors describe it as "burning trash". I'm concerned that it may be meth.

Please, clean up our neiborhood. We are trying to live a decent life. This property is atrocious and an eyesore. There seems to be something rotting there, because the smell is horrible. There are also people squatting there from time to time. It is totally overgrown. I understand that this property is owned by a city attorney, but that should not make any difference. Hold them to the same standards everyone else is held to.

Please help local merchants and do something about all the people that have stolen shopping carts all over town. I counted 6 at seminary park alone the other day!!! Contact the police department and give them direction to help address this problem and hold the people stealing shopping carts accountable! From what I’ve heard, the police are currently instructed to not address this issues. The city has an obligation to its (tax paying) citizens to uphold the law!

We live in Southern Indiana. My daughter moved to Carmel last year, so Bloomington is a good middle point to meet. She charges her Tessla at Fresh Thyme off of 3rd Street and we see numerous homeless people coming out of the woods and standing on street corners to the point where she doesn't feel safe charging her car there. On Sunday we went downtown to eat and encountered homeless people yelling on the street corners. The 9 y/o we had with us got an education we hadn't planned on him having! In the 2 hours we were in Bloomington, we encountered 15 homeless people! Hopefully, the city is taking steps to help their homeless population.

Noise from the Carlisle factory has hit an all-time point of frustration. This nuisance is loud and obnoxious with fans running 24/7. Last night there was a clear, high-pitched whine at ~1376 Hz. It was so loud and clear I could detect it with my musical tuner at the pitch F6. My neighbors are miserable and Carlisle seems oblivious to the issue.
