There seems to be a makeshift homeless camp being setup at the Brandon Court/Henderson bus stop near the Winslow Plaza and Bloomington South high school. They are using the bus stop bench and are under the tree behind the bus stop. The amount of people seem to be growing the last few days.
There’s a woman who sleeps and/ or stays under the old Small Favors back entrance who routinely shouts at passersby all day, every day. For years now. She definitely needs help of some sort, but those of us who love or work down here are pretty fed up.
Homeless sleeping on the sidewalk again next to All-Star driving school. Police chase them off yesterday, why is it allowed that they still keep coming back? They have also trashed the bus shelter on Henderson Street next to Brandon Court Apartments.
Homeless asleep at private property and along bline.
Over the hill behind the apartment complex in the wooded area there is an abandoned campsite that needs to be cleaned out. There are needles all over the ground. The trash and an old tent have been removed but not the needles.
No issue, just a suggestion. Please consider public restrooms and water bottle filling stations in the downtown area and along Kirkwood and/or 4th street. With so many street fairs, outdoor festivals, etc. It seems ridiculous that a thriving city such as what Bloomington is would not have these amenities for it's populous. I figure if Nashville, Indiana can have public restrooms, why don't we?
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?
Bloomington Fire Department Chief of Planning Tania Daffron couldn’t plan her way out of a paper bag. Her incompetence has repeatedly cost the department in reputation, dollars, and in wasted man-hours. She should have a performance review and her position should be terminated.
Homeless setting up camp again in the field behind Timber Ridge
Homeless have set up camp with mattresses in the open on S Henderson St. Right across the street from Crawford, next to the bus stop
