What is the city doing about the growing homeless camp in the city park, Seminary Park? Is the intention to make this camp permanent? It seems to have been growing for about a year, with seemingly little effort to address it, the safety of passersby, or the sanitation issues that accompany it.
Cascades park. Why is it so hard to drive here?! Surely you can make it one way or protected bike path or even clog the other end instead of forcing town to expend significant gas miles to get to the north entrance? Please tell me this restricting isn't permanent
On nice days would it be possible for the Park staff (and the Bloomington police) to be more active in enforcing face coverings and the limit on gatherings. This was a day when Indiana hit another record (11/7). THe pickle ball court was taken over by this group of more than 25 people who were having a tournament. Most were not wearing masks as they sat around. Down the road the playground was packed. I know this is especially hard for staff or police since it's the parents making poor decisions, not wearing masks, and most if not all children not wearing masks.
Would it be possible to put heaters in the shelters in the parks around town so family and friends can meet up outside this winter due to the Coronavirus?
There is a broken tree limb dangling in a tree. The broken limb is over a park area. It is too high to just pull it down.

One of the metal posts supporting the tent at Leonard Springs is broken in half.
Tents set up overnight. Tons of trash. Social gatherings > 15 people. Alcohol and drug use. Apparently city has social workers at park to hand out free water and supplies. Nobody is taking care of real problems.
Tents up overnight and people in park past time park closes.
I was downtown at the walnut street post office and the parking lot was overrun by homeless people who apparently were on some sort of substance. One was lingering by my vehicle and I was uncomfortable going to my car. There were tents all over the park into the post office parking lot. Can the Mayor PLEASE do something about the homeless situation? This is not the same Bloomington we had 4 years ago! I don't think I will be coming downtown for a while now.
