Can the City go out to make sure the woods all along the entire length of the Rail Trail from Country Club to Gordon Pike are clear of homeless camps? These were all evicted previously and there may be people living on the City property again. This morning there were multiple men screaming and yelling obscenities at each other back in the woods along the trail. This is dangerous for everyone who uses the trail, as it is a secluded, wooded area that has had a ton of safety issues previously. This area has had fights, frequent searches for wanted people who have committed all manner of crimes, weapons have been found in those camps, and there was deemed to be a serious fire hazard. I have smelled some smoke recently, suggesting their may be illegal burning happening again. Do not let this problem continue, as it was already dealt with and needs to be routinely enforced. These encampments are a serious danger.

I am reporting a suspected violation of Bloomington Municipal Code (Title 7, including Chapter 7.23 regarding feral cat colonies).
At 401 W Watson Street, a resident appears to be harboring a feral cat colony, as defined by allowing animals to remain and be fed on the property. The number of cats has increased significantly, indicating the colony is not being properly managed. This has been reported multiple times on uReport but never properly dealt with.
Google Maps imagery shows a large collection of outdoor shelters within a fenced enclosure, suggesting the presence of a substantial number of cats being harbored.
The cats regularly roam onto neighboring properties and are creating a nuisance, including noise, sanitation issues, and repeated intrusion. Many appear to be in poor health.
Please have Animal Care and Control investigate and take appropriate action to ensure compliance with city ordinances.

For more than two weeks, the owner has let a man sleep in a tent in her side yard. The man sleeping in the tent is a registered sex offender. He has all of his belongings under tarps. It's a mess.

Abundance of stray cats. They are feed outside. All day and night. Upwards of 12 at a time. This is beyond out of control. Is there not a limit on the number of "pets" someone can have in the street before its a nuisance?

My husband does donation pickups as part of his job, today he went to this particular house. He called me after he was back at work quite upset. He told me a woman named Agatha lives here and has a dozen or more cats in individual cages, saying they don't like to come out because they are shy. He also said they did not have litter boxes and the whole house smelled of urine.
