Other: During the fall of 2020, annual maintenance of the electric wires on the right side of the street (heading south) was done. I don’t know if it’s the city, Duke Energy, or a company who performs this task but today I am writing to complain about the results of the work. It affects the following locations * Beginning at 1816 S High heading south through 2011 S High * And again beginning at 2020 S High heading south through 2021 S High As an avid gardener, it is painful to look at the way the trees are trimmed in the first place. This is the most egregious offense. And just as important, the trees and limbs that were removed are randomly thrown on the ground and it is a visual eyesore. When I look at this I wonder why all the trees aren’t just removed from both stretches on South High? Who is responsible for this mess and what can be done about it? It is shoddy work and our town of Bloomington shouldn’t allow for it.
Per Gretchen Knapp, closing out old cases. Issue is likely to still exist 4 years later. If problem is still existing, please submit a new uReport.
City staff is looking into this issue, but our previous inquiries with Duke Energy on this type of issue is that state law exempts them being required to remove the debris and branches from pruning or emergency removal activities related to their transmission and distribution system. We have reached out to our Duke Energy reps and will update with a current response to this issue.
