There are several issues: 1) Cars and frequently parked jutting into the alleyway or the city right of way, which is a hazard to traffic and also partially blocks exit from our garage. 2) Somewhere between 5 and 10 different cars come and go on a regular basis, some of which stay overnight at different times. Thus, the backyard is sometimes stuffed with cars. It's not clear who lives here and what the nature of the living situation is. For example, is this a community that provides mental health services to young men? If so, is it appropriately registered with the city? There is too much traffic at this property to fit a typical family or group living situation. I think there needs to be a welfare check or a visit of some sort by the city. 3) There still is trash stuffed underneath a blue tarp, including half of a toilet.

I think it’s unacceptable that well behaved dogs aren’t allowed at a park. And that it’s only if certain people are at the field because I’ve definitely brought my dog here before without any issues. And then to be kicked out and have to sit in the car with the dog for over 8 hours because we came for a softball tournament is outrageous. It would be one thing if my dog was misbehaving but we hadn’t even sat down yet. No dogs allowed has and always will be a stupid rule in outdoor public places. There are stores that allow dogs now let’s get with the program and change it to well behaved dogs allowed. And let’s give a person at least an hour to figure out what to do with the dog. Luckily, I came with my boyfriend today so my dog will not be suffocating in the car alone.

I'm inquiring regarding a fence my neighbor is erecting that is well over 6 feet at every post. If I was to dispute or request someone come out and inspect the fence, how would I go about doing that? Please see the attached photos. Thank you so much for your help! Best wishes, Keith

I am a 30-plus-year resident of Bloomington. Ten years ago, my wife and I decided to move out to the County because of the rising crime and homeless people issues in the City. We have tried on many occasions to bring our family downtown for dinner, ice cream, etc. Every time we do, we encounter issues with homeless people. Last night (Tuesday, May 13th), we tried once again to enjoy the downtown area of our City. I arrived downtown first and had arranged to meet my family at Dave's Hot Chicken. As I was waiting outside, a homeless man stumbled out of the restaurant carrying food that someone had bought for him. This man was so intoxicated that he dropped his food on the ground and dropped a bag of other items he had. An innocent college-age girl tried to help him pick up the dropped items, and the man barked at her. She quickly moved away. The man then sat down at an outdoor table, took a bite of the chicken, and threw it on the ground. He then picked it up and began eating it again. I went in the restaurant and told the manager about this incident and said I had planned on meeting my family there for dinner, but have now changed our mind about eating there. I went across the street and stood in front of the library to wait for my family. Instantly, another homeless man approached me and asked for money> I told him in a stern voice to keep walking, when he began to harass me about not giving him money. This time my voice was in a demanding voice that he walk away, in which he did. After that guy walked away, another homeless man walked past me, talking to himself loudly, saying he had invented a carbon fiber rocket ship that Putin was going to pay for, and it would not cost the US any money. When he saw that I was not paying attention to him, he stopped and yelled towards me about his invention. I again in a demanding voice that he keep walking, which he did. My family had arrived and as we were talking about where to have dinner at, another homeless man had walked into Dave's Hot Chicken. While he was in there, the original homeless man who was intoxicated at Daves, attempted to steal the other homeless guys blankets and items. This caused both homeless men to get into an argument. We (my family decided to go to Ellettsville for dinner, far away from downtown. This is an absolute disgrace to our City when a family can not enjoy an evening in our downtown area. Bloomington needs to be more like Martinsville's downtown area. There are several varieties of restaurants and shops downtown in Martinsville. NO HOMELESS PEOPLE, and it's clean and inviting. Downtown Bloomington is a disgrace.

Hello! I live at 1020 e Thornton, but I noticed this area off Huntington Dr. Has a HUGE amount of Japanese knotwood, which is a highly invasive plant. I was wondering if any action could be taken to try to eradicate it before it takes over the entire neighborhood? We also have plenty of other invasives around...perhaps you could guide me on any resources to address this. Thanks so much!!
