On E second Street parallel to the footbridge near Anita there is a water meter cover that has not been raised to the level of the street which makes it feel like you are driving over a pothole.
Felt uncomfortable having my family at building and trades park because homeless people were using the covered area as a place to live in relatively large numbers. They had their belongings, food items, chairs and other furniture for sleeping. It was obvious it was more for them than a day or at the park. Also they left trash around the restroom area. This is sad as it male it an unsafe atmosphere for children like a park with a playground should be. We ended up leaving early even though we live in this neighborhood.

My trash was picked up today but no try recycling, I left the bin out on the curb and they did not take it. I am a new Bloomington resident so I may be unaware of the recycling rules, but the bin had only bottles an cans in it. Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks

I came home from work today, 7.31 and my baby sitter said there were people openly using drugs at B and T park. when she asked them to put it away, they threatened to fight her. some of the cardboard is still there and u can see the marks where many people are sleeping.

I cant give you the exact poles because there are too many. there is also one out around the curve aound Rose Cemetary.

Hi - I feel like the city needs to issue a warning to cyclists to take extra precautions when locking up their bike. On Monday around 11am, my $1200 bike was stripped of all of its parts that were not locked to the bike rack. This happened right outside my office in a somewhat busy parking lot, in downtown Bloomington, in broad daylight. From the security footage it took the person about 20 minutes. A police report was filed and the officer mentioned he'd seen similar cases recently. After posting about this on social media, I've now heard numerous cases of bikes either being stripped completely or partially during the day at various spots downtown over the past couple weeks. Had there been any media or warnings issued, I would have certainly brought my bike into my office, rather than risk losing most of it. I realize it's just a possession (and not a life) and can be replaced, but given that this seems to be a growing trend, a warning and increased awareness would be helpful.
