Trash
2501 E 8th ST

- 8/3/2022
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.
Renters left pile of debris by street
Renters moved out and left pile of debris by the street.
The lights in Peoples Park along the eastern edge of the park and on the 507 E. Kirkwood Avenue building are not operating, creating a haven at night for an overnight encampment of people, various belongings, litter, etc. The lights shine into the Park to create more visibility/safety for pedestrians/visitors.
yard not mowed and spills over into neighbor's yard
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.
These assholes have a huge pile of trash they just put on the curb and sidewalk
