Office Richmond (I believe was how he introduced himself) was called for wellness check in citizen in need. When approached he approached with hostility towards the people helping provide warm clothes to the woman. He attempted to “help” and the woman asked for him not to touch her and then abandoned the warm layers due to the officers advances and presence. Then instead of actually helping he turned his questioning and subsequently aggression towards me. He spoke loudly and condescending towards me and then abandoned helping the woman. It would be okay if police weren’t so fragile that instead being of assistance they become a safety issues for others. Please when people call for help or wellness send EMTs be police officers since their egos and aggression cannot be in check. Invest in actual training in social workers and healthcare workers not men and women with power complexes and the affinity for harming the most vulnerable in our community.

On a whim, I decided to watch the 2/25/25 BPW meeting on CATS this morning. I was very disappointed to hear the casualness that the closed sidewalk on Lincoln was handled. Whether it is contiguous or not, it is still one of the only options of refuge for a pedestrian to walk with relative safety. The impression I got from the city staff is that it is expected and welcomed for pedestrians to just use the road. I understand that construction needs to happen, I just hope that in the future pedestrian considerations are treated with more care even if it is a small section! This is a long enough project (June 2027!) that I hope staff can look and see if other options are available.

We do not understand why HAND has not responded to any “Snow on Sidewalk” reports this week. All 50 reports from this week are currently “open”. Names associated with some of them are Rob Council, Jo Stong, and Chastina Hayes. Are they all sick this week? Or is HAND just waiting until the weather warms up? Why do you even have an option to report snow on sidewalks if you do not really care to enforce that item in the Code. It seems that HAND should have a similar responsibility to enforce. Can HAND be fined if they fail to do so? Maybe we need a Bloomington version of DOGE to shake things up a bit…

Bloomington bus driver around 7:15 pm near 3rd and Smith wasn't wearing a mask, was around down on his neck. Didn't look like anyone was within 6 feet of him, but shouldn't he always have one on in a confined bus? Can't remember tag. Think ended in 22. 85722, something like that, but couldn't be certain.

I'm tired of being solicited by homeless people anytime I walk around downtown. I love this city and I love living downtown but I am hesitant to even walk a few blocks away from my apartment because I'm relentlessly confronted by homeless people. I have no problem with homeless people and I'm willing to pay my part of the taxes to get them steady jobs and homes, but soliciting hard working residents should not be tolerated and the authorities must step in

The fiber crews were on our street and parked heavy machinery in my parking lot, they punctured a hole in my asphalt and scratched the concrete of my green space.
