Poison hemlock infestation along the 4th St walking path between S. Jefferson and S. Roosevelt St in Green acres. This is not the only location of such an infestation of this poisonous invasive in Green Acres. There is also a tree of heaven established here. Lack of maintenance is chronic in this location. In general, lack of maintenance enforcement per city code of ROW and Utility Easements in Green Acres is, in my humble opinion, the reason that those of us who try to maintain our lawns, gardens, and outdoor living spaces, are in a constant losing battle against these invasive species. Sigh.

By the warehouse along the Bline: The lack of adequate facilities for the homeless population in Bloomington, combined with all the overgrown vegetation, and potentially the use of the warehouse as a shelter, has resulted in ~ 10 cars being slept in overnight. That part is fine. However, there are no facilities for people to use the restroom, which results in the vegetation (behind the warehouse) and along the Bline being used as a latrine. Can Bloomington please pay attention to the homeless issue and take it seriously? Covid is not going away there must be facilities for people to use the restroom and throw away their rubbish. Currently, it's thrown all over the street on Hillside. Portland built tiny home communities to help with the homeless population, others offer hotel rooms, still other cities provide YMCA-type facilities. Bloomington continues to take this problem seriously and help this critical component of our community! With regard to restrooms in particular, given our current pandemic, safe and sanitary options for human waste are essential. We still do not know whether coronavirus can spread through human feces. Given that we live on karst topology, it is crucial that people aren't pooping outside (never mind walking through it and the horrid smell).
