Operations director commented on this case regarding the dead trees back when this was reported. Both trees are not city right-of-way trees, they are on private property so we do not remove them.

9/18/18 Regarding U report # 165956, both dead trees at 522 S Swain are located on private property, not in the city right-of-way. The property is owned by Mr Matthew Wisen. The other tree that was reported as failing and impacting Mr. Ruff's property is also a private tree and not in the city right-of-way.

Ms. Sideli, Thank you for contacting the City of Bloomington. Street trees in the tree plot (grassy area) between the street and sidewalk are under the jurisdiction of the Urban Forester, Lee Huss, in the Parks and Recreation Department. If the tree is on private property, then it's up to the property owner to remove. I will reassign this uReport to the Parks and Recreation Department so Mr. Huss can make the determinate on whether or not it's a city maintained tree. If you would like to speak to Mr. Huss directly, you may contact him at 812.349.3700. Best, Christina Best, Christina
