Large homeless camp
I received a call from a resident stating that there are encampments in the woods between AMC Theater and Moore's Pike. Not only is there trash and used needles scattered about, but this morning someone lit the site on fire. There is a smoldering mattress and plastics burning at the site. Burning plastics emit hazardous fumes,

https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=180890 Why was this ticket closed with reason "Can't Fix"? Shouldn't you contact the landlord to advise them to clean this up? Another (perhaps stolen) bicycle and other personal effects have been dropped off and picked up the following day. This just on 9/17/22. This strip of overgrowth is still accruing trash. What can be done about this? If nothing can be done, will you at least provide a reason?
Mulch dumped in street since 12 May 2023
Waste Management removed dumpsters between Morton Street Garage/ 212 N. Morton, The Mercury apartments and dumped all the trash in the public alleyway.
Ticket #184913 was closed but I’ve have seen the same person(s)thoughout town and other areas on the b-line and seminary park with personal possessions and trash thrown everywhere around their shopping carts they have stolen. Having them leave one area to go to another doesn’t solve the problem. I already assume this ticket will get closed and say “we patrol the b-line and surrounding areas on a daily basis, and if they are doing something illegal they will be asked to leave….etc”. That doesn’t solve the problem…doesn’t even put a band aide on it. Unless real change is made (legistration) and the city follows laws already in place it will just continue! Please have police monitor these areas for theft, public intoxication, harassment, littering, etc…
