The City owns TWO Historic Buildings. The Waldron AND The Banneker. One serves white residents. The other serves Black residents. One is getting a $500k renovation. The other desperately needs roof, HVAC, windows, flooring, masonry and drainage repair. Recover forward should honor ALL residents of Bloomington. Black and white. Invest in The Banneker.
Switchyard park is supposed to be open until 11 pm. Everyday there are no lights on in the skatepark after dark. It is currently 7:17 pm with no lights, this could be a serious danger to the riders. Please fix this issue it would make a huge difference!
There is at least one skunk living under the boardwalk/under the playground at Building Trades Park. Seen it multiple times in the last week or two. Lots of dogs and cats in the neighborhood -- worry it'll spray someone/someone's pet.
There is a hornets nest near the path through the trees. Many people including kids have been stung by them. The chase people off the trail.
Huge wasp nest in city tree on left side of driveway of 1040 S Graywell Dr. Already stung several people including minors.
There is a set of two squares of sidewalk that need fixed outside of the atlas at 3rd and college. I fell there and shattered my knee two years ago. I filed with the safety office. It still isn’t fixed. Please do something with it so no one else gets hurt there.
There are multiple low-hanging trees along S Park Ridge Road that make the sidewalk difficult to walk on. I believe these are city-maintained trees on the easement.
Broken glass on path through park
Some of the tree branches along 3rd St. at IU are encroaching on the headspace of the bikes, and the bikers were mostly in the car traffic and unable to safely ride in the bike lane provided.
Edges of paved trail continue to crumble, making trail narrower and narrower in spots. Two-way use is becoming challenging when combined with plants life on other side. Also, Trail has a large sunken area with uneven surface on west end near bypass, tricky for anything wheeled no navigate. Please repair or replace as needed in honor of a fine Librarian and for those that use it, thanks.
