Intersection of 3rd and Pete Ellis is dangerous. Often a line for a left hand turn from 3rd develops to enter the B N parking lot. Island on 3rd doesn't allow traffic to get out of way from through traffic. Problem results in sudden braking and traffic congestion into College Mall and 3rd intersection. Resident would greatly appreciate a reply to his complaint. Please see Julio for copy of inquiry.
Stoplight by Funeral Chapel on E 3rd is flashing red lights. Sunday, 2pm
MAIN BREAK IN BUILDING
CONTRACTOR HIT SEWER AND IT IS LEAKING IN THE AREA
Susie Johnson brought over this complaint; trees overhanging into right of way,beginning to scrape cars
weeds all along the east side of the building to the B-line trail up to the new bridge
Homeless Camp, trash and clothes everywhere. By the dog park. On the southside of the park.
By the warehouse along the Bline: The lack of adequate facilities for the homeless population in Bloomington, combined with all the overgrown vegetation, and potentially the use of the warehouse as a shelter, has resulted in ~ 10 cars being slept in overnight. That part is fine. However, there are no facilities for people to use the restroom, which results in the vegetation (behind the warehouse) and along the Bline being used as a latrine. Can Bloomington please pay attention to the homeless issue and take it seriously? Covid is not going away there must be facilities for people to use the restroom and throw away their rubbish. Currently, it's thrown all over the street on Hillside. Portland built tiny home communities to help with the homeless population, others offer hotel rooms, still other cities provide YMCA-type facilities. Bloomington continues to take this problem seriously and help this critical component of our community! With regard to restrooms in particular, given our current pandemic, safe and sanitary options for human waste are essential. We still do not know whether coronavirus can spread through human feces. Given that we live on karst topology, it is crucial that people aren't pooping outside (never mind walking through it and the horrid smell).
Tons of garbage and debris - e.g., broaken couch, electrical equipment, slurpy cups, clothing, fecal material. Please clean up ....and please come up with a plan to actually provide facilities for the homeless population in Bloomington.
