THANKS for straightening up this sapling so quickly!
THANKS for straightening up this sapling so quickly!
I let you know Someone has hacked your parks system and is sending phishing emails using your government email. I have attached a screenshot of an email I received from your .gov Please have your IT people look into this. It can potentially cause big issues for your constituents and others.
The grass in northern part of Bryan park appears to be wet. I saw water coming out of the ground near the basketball court. There are puddles in some places and in most places the grass is just soaking wet. Since there is no active rain, I thought that amount of water is unuy. And the water coming out of the ground could indicate a water leak. I attached a picture of the hole I saw. There is water coming out of it. But I couldn't attach a video from it here.
The sidewalk on the northside of the Southeast Park tennis courts (along that area ) is full of mud and debris, and unusable at times. There is also a stack of tree limbs that need cleared in that area.
A pine tree in front of 1023 East Sheridan Drive, beside the creek, has been tagged for removal. The removal notice is no longer with the tree, so the question is, when will the tree be removed (supposed to be w/in 60 days of the notice.
The back of the Bryan Park sign has rotted off. It is the Bryan Park sign that is on Henderson at the upper parking lot.
The limestone bench that is near the tennis courts, and under a very large tree, has been vandalized and pulled apart.
Repeated complaints about Seminary Park, most recent #172269 submitted 4/20/20. This park is a very shameful example of how our city is handling (not handling) the homeless/drug population. The mayor should be ashamed of what message it sends that the issue continues with everyone looking the other way. This is a major north/south & east/west travel point. DAILY I have to deal with this as a working citizen of Bloomington at the Post Office. I know that you know the issues because I call the police at least once/week. Daily, besides the usual littering the park and Post Office parking lot (including mattresses, office desk chairs, tables, etc.) there is suspicious traffic in & out of that park via the Post Office parking lot. Within the past month we have had 5 different instances where someone backed up against the outside of our building to relieve him/herself of #2, then proceeded to smear it all up the wall. Today I witnessed a man walk behind the post office to a little white truck that is there daily with no plates. He handed that person something, then waved and walked away. Several people came from the park up to his window, went back in the park, then came back to the truck. Didn't appear to be just chit-chat. A transaction had been made for sure. And, what about a few Fridays ago when someone provided the park a nice big bbq complete with a huge grill that was brought in. Are grills and full-sized tents allowed to be brought into a city park?? They were there that day! This brought a huge crowd filling that park and creating a big scene. They trashed the park, the Post Office parking lot, and the area in front of the Post Office by the street. Both our custodian and your city employees are using a lot of resources & money to clean up after that population. Mayor Hamilton, you out to be ashamed of our city right now! This is not the Bloomington it used to be and you're looking the other way. I do not feel safe going to my job to make a decent living because I have been approached by these people and our customers have been approached. When election time rolls around again I will be paying very close attention to which candidate has plans to clean up our city.
Lights do not turn on in the evening at the skateboarding area... this is a safety hazard, especially now that it’s dark by 9:30, but the park doesn’t close until 11pm.
How long will the City allow graffiti to be over a pride flag and trans flag on a mural? People's park. You can celebrate black lives matter without saying marginalized LGBT lives don't. Time to think of a different way to honor blm. Bring back rare Midwestern recognition of lgbt people. Please. It's just plastered over like the city doesn't care.
