Homeless encampment at seminary square and on so walnut street is unbelievable. I grew up in Bloomington attended IU and have family here. On a recent visit I was appalled at what this city as been allowed to become!! Shame on you and the leaders in this community. We deserve better than what you are providing and allowing to happen here. U mention growing back…I can assure you this is not how business owners want the city to be portrayed.
Seminary park and surrounding area is progressively getting more abandoned personal possessions and trash/litter. The answer that I get every time is that the parks department monitors the area but can’t do anything in between the times it comes by the area. However I feel like some city workers are not addressing these issues due to fear and other known issues in the area. (Plus political reasons) More needs done and people using this area creating these problems need held accountable.
Seminary parks is full of trash, abandoned personal possessions, and stolen shopping carts from local merchants. This area has progressively went downhill in the last months. Needs cleaned up and monitored mutiple times daily. People using park are breaking multiple laws every day. (Drug and alcohol use in public, public nuisance, fighting, littering, stolen property, camping and staying there after hrs, etc)
Trash and abandoned personal possessions all around seminary park including sculpture at 2nd and college.
Homeless are taking over the sidewalks by Seminary Square park, you can't walk at near the intersection of 2nd St and Walnut. Trash everywhere, needles spread out on 2nd St, baby playpen, clothes all over. It's an eyesore for the City, and you feel harassed everyday by people sitting on the bench and holding signs!
The area by the shalom center (road/sidewalks) are covered in trash. Please discuss with the shalom center to help keep this area clean as the trash stems from their services. Also seminary park area is filled with trash and multiple stolen shopping carts from local businesses this morning (6/7/23)
Water fountain at seminary park is not yet turned on. Will it be soon? 90 degree temps make for thirsty people. Thanks!
Another Embassy Church sign is on W Second in between the Kroger parking lot and Wendy's; High Rock Church sign is in the grass on W Second near the marquee for Seminary Square.
Pothole on W Second Street across from Seminary Square Park, before the Tim Ellis Realtor building on the corner.
The condition around the area of grimes and Morton on the b-line gets worse and worse by the day. There is trash everywhere! There are several illegal dwellings. Lots of stolen items from tax paying citizens (bikes, shopping carts, signs, etc). Why has the city allowed this for 6+ months? I get it, you would rather have them there vs. campus area or seminary square, but you were elected to withhold the laws/rules of the city for tax paying citizens. So do your job!!!!
