City pathway is popular sight for criminal activity such as: drug deals and use (used needles are common on stairs of city path), destruction of public and private property, fighting, littering, public urination and feces, and this year we've had two occurrences of people on the path discharging guns (~1pm last night was the most recent occurrence- see police report). The stairs on the path are unsafe and create a safe haven for criminal activity because the police can not pursue the suspects down the path or stairs. Instead the police have to drive around the block to try and head of the criminals and thus allows them to evade police. My community and the police officers are requesting that these dilapidated stairs and path be removed. They are public menace to our community and Bloomington society as a whole. Please help us protect our community by removing this criminal gateway into our neighborhood. My fellow community members and I will continue to post updates on our problems, interactions with criminal (e.g. death threats) and reporting of criminal activities associated with this path (including photos).

Hello, I am writing in concern of the spray painted orange bikes popping up around the city, especially regarding the square. These are a part of a marketing strategy for the new fitness gym around the College Mall, Orange Theory. My concern is that the locked bikes are taking the spaces on bike racks that could be used for commuters and patrons in particularly convenient and high-traffic areas. This includes bike racks around the square, in front of Yogi's, and there was even one locked to a pole around the Scholar's Inn Bakehouse on 3rd (which seems like another issue). I am hoping the city can possibly speak with Orange Theory about the placement of their marketing devices.

Today on June 20 2017 I was standing at my window watching the Recycling Pickup crew look at my Recycling and decided not to pick it up so they write me and leave a note saying it's not properly sorted. I am getting very upset with the recycling pickup. They like to pick and choose when they want to pick up my recycling. I sort out my recycling the same way every single time and sometimes the choose to pick it up and sometimes the choose not to. This time they decided not to , and I can almost guess it's because it rained last night and got the paper bags a little wet. So they was to lazy to pick up my recycling. This is very messed up. Big time. Please have someone call me to discuss this issue because it's getting really ridiculous. They should not be working if they do not want to do their job right.

The trees in front of NAPA need to be trimmed back from the sidewalk. They are hanging down and not providing enough clearance for pedestrians.
