Tent camp is growing quite large. This is against city ordinance. Same problem is going on at switchyard park. Homeless camps being set up in the area, people loitering, creating trash and littering, human waste, needles, etc. this is causing huge problems with nearby businesses and home owners. Been going on months/years? Will this ever be addressed in a manner needed to actually fix the problems? Or will Bloomington continue to enable these problems?
Lots of trash and debris. Also needles on ground. Overall unsafe “park”
Other: Tents up overnight. Lots of trash. People breaking all kinds of laws. Looks like dozens of different people have reported similar problems. Why, over a period of several years can nothing be done? Seems like this needs to turn into a legal battle since the city who gets paid by taxpayers and is required to uphold laws and rules we agree upon refuses to properly address this problem. ***closed within 10 min of posting-almost like the city doesn’t want other people to see***
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.
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.
missed part of her trash
Friday - A/Missed pick-up/recycling: Recyclables are sorted, but no notice was left. Thanks Tricia
The block of Waldron between Kirkwood and 4th street is unplowed. It has not been plowed at all. It was also unplowed in December when there was a large snowfall. I believe this is regularly getting missed and believe it may be marked as completed when it is not. Waldron going the other direction is completely clear.
