On August 29, 2025 at approximately 6:30 PM, a City of Bloomington employee wearing a grey shirt labeled SECURITY was seen at Switchyard Park (under a shelter near benches, Northeast corner near the playground) using his cane to abuse a homeless person's dog with no prior exchange between the dog or owner and that employee witnessed. I was told by a bystander that the employee approached to hit the dog due to "complaints of the dog biting children," however, there were no children present near the dog at the time, and complaints like that should be handled by Animal Control. During this incident, I was informed that there are security cameras present in the area. I ask that if this is the case, footage is reviewed and the employee is educated on handling animal complaints in an appropriate and non-abusive manner.

There are parking spots for people with disabilities in the north Bryan Park parking lot at the end of Stull Avenue, but there is no accessible way for them to get from the parking lot to the park path or the north shelter. I have lived right next to this parking lot for more than 30 years, but it didn't occur to me until today, when I was walking across the wet grass, that there is no path for people with mobility issues. It seems to me this should be rectified -- I never see anyone using those accessible spaces. Perhaps that's why. Thanks!
