The same group of people is claiming and staying in the gazebo at the Building and Trades park every single day. They are there from open to close, sometimes sleeping on the ground as if it is their personal camp site. Nobody else has a chance to use the shelter because this group is there the entire time the park is available for use. This was a problem last year, and the group referred to the park as their "turf" during an altercation with my neighbors. My house was recently broken into, and it concerns me to know that there are people who can just sit there all day and see exactly when we are coming or going. I don't mind people using the park (because public use is the purpose of a park), but I think it is unreasonable for one group of people to practically live in the park and claim the shelter every day, to the exclusion of other park users. It would be helpful if they could inhabit a different park - or just be somewhere else - on at least some days.
Traffic Suggestions

The new light in front of the the Twin Lakes Recreation center has backed up traffic a lot especially during peak travel times, morning and evening rush hour commutes. I have lived in Oakdale Square apartments for over 4 years and the amount of extra time it takes to get to and from work (I work at IU) has increase by 5-10 minutes because of the light. As a suggestion I think the light should be a yellow flasher for Bloomfield road traffic between the hours of 7am-9am and 4pm-6pm. This would decrease the amount the traffic can back up in this area.

There are no street lights next to the bus stop on East Hagan Street and it feels unsafe when having to wait for the bus during the night, or even when getting off the bus. It would be very helpful if a street light could be installed in the area.

I think this goes without saying, but can we not paint the roads during move-in week? Thanks.

Hi,
I’m emailing you because I recently came across the Utilities section of the "About Bloomington" page on your website (http://bloomington.in.gov/about-bloomington) and thought it offered up some helpful information.
I noticed that you link to several internet, phone and TV providers under the “utilities” section, so I wanted to let you know of a helpful resource. Allconnect is a free online service that helps people find utilities, like internet and TV at their exact address. All users have to do is plug in their address and they can find, compare and order their services online instead of having to call each provider individually. We were also recently named one of the top three customer service companies in the nation: http://www.allconnect.com/pdfs/pressCenter/PR-2016-06-Allconnect-2015-ACSI-Score.pdf .
I think this would be a helpful resource for residents who want to find internet and cable providers at their exact address. Here’s the link if you want to add it as a resource on your site: https://www.allconnect.com/
Hope this helps! Let me know if there is someone else I should contact about this.

Water and mud and moss is accumulating on the path between Olcott park and Sherwood oaks park to the east of the red bridge over Jackson creek. Makes it hard to use and it is dangerous because it is slippery.
