I am reaching out this morning to ask that the city address the homeless camp site next to RCA park north of Cherokee Dr and IMI concrete plant. I believe this was supposed to addressed after the severe cold a while back. Most of us on Cherokee Dr were completely understanding and have been tolerant of the homeless camp. However, the size of this camp has ballooned to highly unsafe levels. Unsafe for the residents of the camp and to the residents in this neighborhood. There has been a sharp increase in trespassing, fighting, littering all over the neighborhood, abandoned bikes and other junk. There is a constant flow of people up Cherokee and behind it and it’s only increasing. Three nights ago we had someone knocking on doors and trespassing at multiple houses. I could hear a neighbor yelling at this man because he was creeping around his house. I caught him on camera as well as a guy last night who climbed on my porch and moved furniture to look through my window. Does that sound a little creepy? It is. Stuff like this has happened more often and it really needs to be addressed. We have the services here in town, maybe not to help this number of people , but we have services and camping on private property and harassing a neighborhood as well as a new neighborhood being built isn’t part of those services. Please look into clearing this camp as soon as possible and preventing it from being established again. It’s been cleared a few times, only to have the problem increase in numbers time and time again. It is unsafe and unsanitary and the problem is only getting worse by the day.

The batting cages at Winslow are still not up, even though rec league practices have already started. That means teams and players cannot do batting practice. The same thing happened last year, when the cages were not ready until late April. Hopefully they can be up by this week. If help is needed, I know parents and coaches are ready and willing to assist. Unfortunately, the condition of the fields and facilities creates a negative cycle: the facilities are not properly maintained, people get frustrated and stop signing up, and then Bloomington sees low turnout and does not prioritize investing in improvements. Then the cycle repeats. If the fields and facilities were ready to go, properly maintained, and given a few needed upgrades, I believe rec league participation would increase. Winslow could also become a stronger location for hosting successful baseball and softball tournaments.

This is a sample of what my curb looks like. Our short street is beaten up too. I've lived here since 2002 and would really appreciate having my curbs repaired. Thank you in advance.

W Allen St, from Bloomfield Rd to S Patterson Dr, needs to be completely repaved. The roads hills make it dangerous enough for the many vehicle types that traverse it, and that doesn’t include the copious amount of potholes and poor repairs that have been layered over top of each other over the years. Whoever the City is hiring to repair these potholes is NOT diligent and doesn’t care about a job well done—the recent pothole fixes are rough and bumpy. (That’s in addition to the several companies who have dug up roads and left them in worse states, like at S Rogers/2nd St and Bloomfield Rd/Rolling Ridge Way). I’m all for the City repairing roads, but I am NOT for my tax dollars going to poor-quality work! 500+ cars must travel this street each day, from residential traffic to the traffic from Novo Nordisk employees and its vendors/suppliers. Cars constantly swerve to avoid poor conditions, and it puts all drivers at risk. I saw that W Allen St was supposedly scheduled for repaving or repairs in 2025, according to the Street Paving Map, but I don’t know if it’s incredibly delayed or just woefully outdated. It would be great to have an update on if this street will be smoothed out with new pavement in 2026. Thank you.

I’ve submitted this before but we still have phone lines about 6 feet off the ground running though our side yard. We’d really like to know who to contact or have them contacted that these need raised for safety but also code compliance
