Homeless person is in the skywalk asleep.
Homeless person is in the skywalk asleep.
I went to retrieve my car at the 4th street parking garage last night after attending an event at the Waldron. When I got off the elevator on the 2nd floor I was approached by some disheveled guy who started cussing at me in an aggressive manner. I just turned away and went to my car. He kept cussing and got on the elevator.
My neighbor's tree hangs over the street where I park my car. I do not have a driveway and my only option is to park on the street. This house is empty and has been for a long time. The tree has limbs that are dead and falling and breaking and I'm worried they will fall on my car. I don't know who to contact to make them take care of this. The last time we had that super strong wind I wasn't home luckily but a huge limb fell down into the street from that tree you can see where it broke off from. The limbs that hangs over my car needs to be cut down.
People are living year-round in an RV parked on an unimproved surface at 220 S. Maple Street. They have been there for about 18 months. I previously reported them to H.AN.D. and the city's legal department. There are also 3-5 other cars parked in the small property lot at all times. The man is apparently fixing cars for others. Various articles and garbage bags are often strewn about. Their has been many domestic violence and nuisance reports to the police and fire department during this time.
Greetings. In my experience, as well as observations, it does not appear that there is much, if any, enforcement of the Hands-Free Driving state law that went into effect in 2019 in the City of Bloomington. There also doesn't seem to be much accountability to that law as in my experience, the person who rear-ended me told the BPD officer she hit me because she was looking at her phone, but following too close was on the citation and not distracted driving. Why is that? I was told that he didn't want to put more than one reason down. Well, why not distracted driving as that is what she admitted to? Also, there doesn't seem to be any sort of a public safety education campaign in any way... I could imagine that the social media accounts would be a great place for a weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly Public Safety Announcement (PSA) for some friendly reinforcement, reminders, remedial lessons, etc. about the laws that provide structure around driving a couple ton heavy potentially lethal machine around these safe and civil streets. I think Bloomington motorists need a few reminders on some general laws about operating a motor vehicle, especially the hands-free driving state law. Can someone please speak a bit to this concern of mine? Much obliged for your time.
Homeless encampment in the woods on what I can only gather is public land but I'm not sure if someone owns it. They have completely trashed the area in and around these woods. They do drugs, are loud and dangerous. They have a bunch of cars and trash on N Summit close to the woods they stay in. There is trash all around the vehicles. I don't think they should be allowed to trash the neighborhood and cause issues.
Person has been living in an RV in the alley for most of the year. Lots of " personal items" have accumulated. There have been instances of domestic abuse here as well.
On my way to work this morning I was almost hit by a vehicle that did not stop at the stop sign by the Boys and Girls Club on W 12th St. They drove right through the sign. I was able to get the vehicle's license plate, but I'm not sure if that should be included in this, or if I should provide that to someone if I am contacted. After this incident, I feel like a police presence should be at this stop sign in the morning. There are kids and adults that are constantly walking around this area, and I do not want anyone to get hit because someone is blowing through stop signs.
Since it has opened, the new record store around the corner from Amrit India has featured live music performances of drums and amplified electric guitar music on Friday and Saturday nights on the sidewalk sometimes lasting past midnight. For residential units along Walnut and on 6th Street, the sound is an intrusion that prevents peaceable enjoyment of one's one private premises. Specifically, I can't sleep. It's not just unneighborly, it's a violation of Bloomington's noise ordinance. Perhaps the after hours ambassador or night mayor, or whatever the person is called now, can chat with the owners and suggest some other strategy for attracting customers. Thanks.
I would like to file this issue against the residents at 221 S Roosevelt St. I can only submit one photo here but I also have multiple videos of the noise and more dates and times logged. I live near this property and there is a huge noise issue. The residents at 221 S Roosevelt throw a party with loud music at least once every weekend and play the loud music into the night disrupting other neighbors. I have contacted the police for noise complaints multiple times but they often don’t get there for a couple of hours so the music keeps us awake. We have asked them multiple times to turn their music down but they continue to be disrespectful and disruptive. The music issue has become so bad that I try to spend my weekends living somewhere else so that I am able to get sleep before working all weekend. I cannot find any information on how to contact the owner of this property and am hoping submitting this report helps me find some way to resolve this issue. This issue of their noise and loud music makes living next to them incredibly uncomfortable and distressful. Also just clarifying again that this is a complaint about the residents living at 221 S Roosevelt St. Thank you.
