Duplicate report - Tree has been removed
Web Form: Referencing case #168961 which was filed 6/14/19. I contacted Lee Huss several months even before that. I just spent $4000.00 on tree work and am about to spend another $4000.00 to remove and prune old and dangerous trees on my property. All I have asked of Forestry is to remove one City tree. ONE. It's an Ash that is covered with vines and is 1/2 dead if not completely dead. Not only is its health an issue, but there has been no question in the past about removing City Ash trees because of the emerald Ash borer. Lee Huss told me that it would be removed, but it has not. I am ready and willing to clear and reseed the area once the tree and stump are removed. I have been patient because I realize that I'm not the only tree in the City. However, I also realize my tree is in an area of the City that often gets dismissed. I would like to have the sick, invasive vine-covered, and potentially infested, City tree (including the stump) that is restricting my ability to landscape and improve my property to the level that I wish, removed. Thank you. The tree is on the City right-of-way at the back (northeast) corner of 712 N. Oolitic St. - where the gravel alley intersects with W. 12th Street.
Duplicate report - Tree has been removed
Mr. Eller, The removal of the ash street tree next to your property will be performed by a hired contractor and we expect that to happen in November. The City Urban Forester is charged with prioritizing the removal of 100's of dead ash trees based solely on the severity of the hazard, not on location in the City of Bloomington, or the order in which U Reports or other contacts were received. We appreciate your patience. Thank you Dave Williams Operations Director Bloomington Parks and Recreation
