To the City of Bloomington, There is a ~500 foot stretch of unmaintained city property, along the north side of the 300 thru 400 block of S. Morton St and boundary of the B-Line trail. This area has heavy overgrowth, attracting trash and debris and becoming a dumping location. A recent dumping of two discarded bicycle frames has prompted calls to police for possible theft related activity. The overgrowth is obscuring street signage, that could be a security hazard to drivers thinking that northbound from Smith on to Morton is unrestricted - which it is not. This area of overgrowth is encroaching on both S. Morton St, and the B-Line trail, and recently we've observed numerous late night gatherings of homeless/vagrants (on the B-Line) because it appears that this overgrowth provides visual shelter and seclusion from being observed along the B-Line from S. Morton St. If it hasn't already been used in this way, this area is prime for unsanitary use for urination or defecation in this stretch between S. Morton St and the B-Line trail due to the seclusion this overgrowth provides. To the north and south of this heavy overgrowth, the similar stretch of B-Line boundary is well-groomed, and offers the public the desired visual beauty of the trail, yet this ~500 foot section provides exactly the opposite as described in this cleanup request. We are asking that the City of Bloomington put this stretch of unmaintained city property between the 300 thru 400 foot blocks of S. Morton and the B-Line Trail, on a regular, ongoing, and permanent maintenance plan. Owners/Residents of 348 S. Morton St.

The property of 1208 S Woodlawn Ave contains Japanese Knotweed. Japanese Knotweed is a city-listed nuisance weed, and in the case of this property the growth is well over 8 inches (more like 5-10 feet) and is visibly spreading into adjacent properties to the west and north by rhizome. The Japanese Knotweed is also visibly growing into that house's siding and foundation. This is likely a rental house situation where the landlord is neglecting the landscaping.
