Plant overgrowth and sand/gravel is obstructing sidewalk from accessible wheelchair and rollator use
Throughout the winter and currently, this uninhabited property has had unhoused people utilizing the garage in the back yard. People wander the alley and wander in the yard on a regular basis. The home also never had the sidewalks cleared from snow causing hazardous conditions for those of us who walk. Thank you. Near West Side Neighbors
The streetlight on this corner at Ninth and Jackson has been burnt out for literally years. People continue to dump trash, steal things from my porch, and cause trouble in this corner because it is so dark. Please for the love of god, replace the street light in this corner.
This road has zero sidewalks and no street lamps. Walking pets or even just walking at night to go from 6th to 7th is dangerous. There are a lot of aged trees, so moonlight does not shine through (unless winter). As someone who has lived in the neighborhood for 7 years, I find it scary to walk down this area without proper light.

I tried to use this area to have a quick meeting with colleagues before going to an appointment at a business on the square. This area was unavailable due to the mess. Balloons, needles, beverage cans, etc. (The yoga mat is mine.) Further, these benches are damaged and appear to be unmaintained. I then moved to the corner of the square where no needles were visible. There I was immediately solicited by panhandlers twice. All of this is unacceptable and I hope to see these areas cleaned and maintained on a proper schedule. The frequency with which I am required to defend myself physically against panhandlers here is becoming unbearable. It is unsafe to be downtown in Bloomington, Indiana.
Tenants of CFC Properties in Fountain Square are calling us to complain about sleeping homeless. I have already submitted a ticket around 7:43 AM today with the guy's description. I have been asked to send in another ticket, so I apologize for the redundancy.
There is a man sleeping the in skywalk from the 4th street parking garage to the Fountain Square building. Buzzed black hair, mixed race, red shirt, gray sweats and tennis shoes.
There is a homeless person sleeping in the bridge/walkway from the 4th Street parking garage. They are wearing charcoal colored jeans, appear to have a white undershirt and a black one over it. He had his head covered with a black zip-up hoodie, so I couldn't see his face.
Turn signal is too short. We are just asking for 10 more seconds for traffic westbound on Kirkwood turning onto Adams. 10 seconds more.
