The Sidewalk along smith road on the walk to University elementary is damaged, broken and barely even a sidewalk. Additionally cutout ramps are needed at the Apartment complex at the corner of Smith. the broken sidewalk is a tripping hazard and makes walking extremely difficult.
Overgrown trees on the polly grimshaw trail before you turn to go under the bbypass make it difficult to make the turn without heading into traffic going in the opposite direction.
Sidewalks were recently replaced on two blocks of west 13th. But one half block from Fairview west to the next East-West alley was untouched. This is what it looks like. A neighbor living on this block is in a wheelchair. The sidewalk is unsafe and not navigable. Why was this half block omitted in the much needed replacement?
Pothole on south side of intersection at the edge of driveway.
Large square hole in the street/cul de sac.

Heading in either direction on N Smith Rd (at the end near E 10th St) the pavement is very rough in the bike lanes, to the point where we often ride our bicycles out in the road, rather than in the bike lane to avoid crashing.
Homeless people are again living in People’s Park. They’re using drugs, fighting, leaving trash everywhere, screaming and yelling, urinating and defecating and have taken over most of the benches and tables. It also appears that they are sleeping there overnight. We bought ice cream across the street and expected to have a nice Sunday afternoon in the park for thirty minutes or so… we tried sitting on the steps of a business on the opposite side of Dunn Street but the shrubbery nearby was probably soaked in urine based on the stench. We simply left at that point….. No other Indiana city of the same size and population has a homeless population of 1 % of that of Bloomington and that is directly attributable to the fact that Bloomington attracts these people by virtue of feeding them and enabling them unlike anywhere else in Indiana. I’ve lived in and near Bloomington since 1974 and this has simply gotten totally out of hand.
