Back sidewalk entrance to people’s park is blocked by a person sleeping and by a sleeping cot. It seems to show up during the day.
A fitness organization called Bloomington United for Fitness is holding an exercise class in Olcott Park. I appreciate the need for outdoor space, however, they are using the paved trail for stationary exercises. Since these occur in one relatively narrow space, it is not possible to socially distance and because they are exercising, they are not wearing masks. Would it be possible to ask them to move to an area with more space in the park such as an open field not next to the path?
The large tree on the back corner of Peoples Park and Bicycle Garage' parking lot is dead and is shedding branches daily and large brancks during strong storms.On June 18, 2021 two large branches fell on my back parking lot. I removed them and cut them up for disposal. We have asked to have this tree removed many time I will ask again please remove this tree. It is dangerous for public safety.
There are three (3) dead trees that we believe are located on the Building & Trades Park property that we would like to see removed because of their potential danger to our building. Please let us know how this is assessed. Thank you
The garbage can between the parking lot, the toddler playground, and the big playground is missing.
I don’t remember what the initiative is called, but someone planted trees and the city stopped mowing a large swath of Butler Park a year or two ago. Predictably, invasive plant species immediately colonized the area once mowing ceased. I understand the sentiment of trying to re-naturalize a space, but it’s counterproductive if we’re just going to create another xenotope. If city staff don’t have the time to maintain the new space and control the invasive plants, then I recommend that mowing be resumed in the meantime.
How would I go about reserving a shelter house at RCA community park?
People are again living in the shelters at Butler Park. Not only are they preventing others from using the facilities but they are leaving trash, clothing, and other messes when they do leave.
On the east side of Rev. Butler park, a boardwalk-like section of the path has broken through or collapsed, leaving jagged edges.
