Why are we allowing the unhoused to live in this park? There are currently 9 people sleeping in the park. People are bringing them charcoal and they are living in the shelters.
A few weeks ago, I noticed that there were some limestone slabs put on the rail trail entrance near Gordon Pike to keep away the cars that I had seen driving back there. Then I went on a run with my dad back there and we noticed that all of the tents seemed to be gone. I was excited that it seemed like that area was being cleaned up, however people are back to living on the newer trail that runs parallel to the rail trail. There have been only two incidents where I have tried to run on the rail trail and turned around both times because I felt unsafe. Both times, I heard someone yelling sounding agitated from the encampment on the trail. I would love to run on the Rail Trail because it is a beautiful trail and perfectly shaded for hot summer runs, but I just don't feel safe. I realize that this is a bigger issue to solve, but it is just frustrating to me that I cannot utilize that trail, even if I am with someone else, because I just don't feel safe. It is disappointing that Bloomington has beautiful parks and trails that people don't want to use because they feel unsafe.
There was a storm and parts of their tree branches have fallen down. It's now become weedy and a hazard for someone to come out and check utility boxes in the area.

They cut down the tree and left it on the sidewalk. As neighbors, We need to walk on the street because there is no space on the sidewalk. This is dangerous for the cars.
