Homeless continuing to defecate at the entrance to my employer, Old National Bank.
The tree-lined edge of this property's parking lot is a well-known syringe drop/pickup spot. We have witnessed several syringes appear in a pile, then mysteriously disappear within hours. Most recently a bicycle was dropped in the weeds, then removed the next day. Transients sometimes use it as a public restroom. Trash has been accruing in this strip of overgrowth and blows out into the alley. As well, the overgrowth of weeds, vines and saplings encroach upon the alley, making it difficult to traverse by vehicle. Finally, vines are choking out the line of trees that occupy this strip. This is the least frustrating issue, but an issue nonetheless. All of the overgrowth and vines should be cleaned up so it cannot be used as a hiding spot, dumping ground, public restroom.
There are unsightly tall weeds growing along the curb where Sheridan meets 1st St. They result from the city not cleaning along the sides of the road, allowing accumulating debris/leaves/dirt to allow tall weeds to flourish. There is no house on that curve but I clicked on the general location.
Homeless people are again living in People’s Park. They’re using drugs, fighting, leaving trash everywhere, screaming and yelling, urinating and defecating and have taken over most of the benches and tables. It also appears that they are sleeping there overnight. We bought ice cream across the street and expected to have a nice Sunday afternoon in the park for thirty minutes or so… we tried sitting on the steps of a business on the opposite side of Dunn Street but the shrubbery nearby was probably soaked in urine based on the stench. We simply left at that point….. No other Indiana city of the same size and population has a homeless population of 1 % of that of Bloomington and that is directly attributable to the fact that Bloomington attracts these people by virtue of feeding them and enabling them unlike anywhere else in Indiana. I’ve lived in and near Bloomington since 1974 and this has simply gotten totally out of hand.
I have cut down Invasive bamboo plants ! Can the city pick up the debris and remove it?! I have put it at the front of my house...904 RCA Park Dr. Thanks
There is a homeless camp setting up at College Mall Rd and Moore’s pike road near the movie theater. Lot of debris near the road.
At 6th and Indiana a tree limb has fallen into the accessible parking space. It was too large to move by hand.
Please sweep street at intersection of Morton and Howe St. It is filled up with gravel and dirt.
Could we please have a street sweeper run at the intersection of W 12th and N Oolitic. This is brand new blacktop after all.
