Bloomington, IN Open About 4 hours

City Performance

There is a homeless women with a yellow cart, she is older, who is constantly screaming things around the B-Line trail by the Bloomington Antique market. At 10 pm last night she was screaming, and at 8 am this morning she is still screaming. I understand that Bloomington has a large number of unhoused people but that doesn't mean the city should excuse behavior like this. She is a disturbance to the whole community. When she screams at night it is preventing people in the neighborhood from being able to sleep. If the city isn't going to do much about the homeless people in Bloomington and if they keep excusing behavior like this, the problem is only going to grow. Under Bloomington Municipal Code Chapter 14.09, violating the city's noise ordinance can result in escalating fines up to $500, a citation, or misdemeanor criminal charges and arrest. Why do we not see individuals who are screaming at night and at people walking by getting these consequences that the city is supposed to follow?
