I am afraid of this park due to drugs, sleeping people and drinking. It sure sets a bad example for Bloomington as a friendly town.

Auto Heaven (junkyard) is parking junk cars on both the South and North sides of Allen St. Several are on the first block west of Walnut Street, which is not his property. Can you please get him to move these? The unhoused have access to them and sleep in them. It's not safe for them and it's a serious eyesore for pedestrians and bikers. The owner of Auto Heaven should be storing these junk cars behind his fences where they are out of sight and cannot be accessed by the unhoused.

I approached the traffic light on Country Club and Rogers from the East around 9:50 p.m. on July 14. When I got to the gas station driveway the light turned red for me. There were no cars coming from the north and south on Rogers so it seemed that it was a timing change, not motion change. Several other cars arrived on Country Club from both directions and we sat there as the light cycled through the turn arrows and straight lights for Rogers. Having the light there change on a timing cycle does not seem like the proper decision. Want to add I love green arrows and motion sensors and the yellow arrows that were recently implemented around town so I think that's why this struck me.
Transient man screaming and yelling outside City Hall first thing this morning (around 7AM timeframe). Individual was screaming about pointing guns at him and repeatedly talking to himself. Staff feel uncomfortable entering the building this early in the AM without other security measures in place. The individual then began approaching cars as more staff pulled up for the day to park and come inside City Hall. Again, it is uncomfortable as an individual to leave vehicle and walk alone with someone being unstable and yelling at you. Is there someone on site beginning around 7AM at all?
It has been like this for years, but this year they have not done anything at all. Rent house from parents.
There was an accident on our corner (9th & Walnut) this weekend. I didn’t see it, but heard it and saw the immediate aftermath. Looking at the positions of the cars, I guessed that the car that was hit had been crossing Walnut via 9th and was t-boned. When I looked at the stop signs on 9th Street, I realized that there is no indication for the driver that this is NOT a 4-way stop. These big crosswalks could easily make people think that it’s a 4-way. These 9th Street stop signs need “cross traffic does not stop” signs added to them so that drivers new to Bloomington can be safer.
