In the woods behind my home there is a tree which is cracked, and ready to fall. Next to the tree is a gazebo which the tree will fall on. The woods is city property, so not sure what needs to be done. Thanks!

Hello - Will someone with the City provide some details on the constant sound of heavy machinery on the south side of Bloomington? This has been going on for a while and I am unable to determine the exact source. I think it might be coming from two places, both of which appear to have connections to the City of Bloomington. The first location is to the west of the police and fire training center on S. Walnut. On many days, such as right now (for the past 30+ minutes at least), there are periods of time where there is a continuous noise from some sort of construction equipment, a diesel engine. I do not know the exact nature of what it is doing, but I cannot spend time on my deck as it is quite loud out there and when I am inside my house I can hear the noise as well. And it is more than just noise, it seems to have a deeper feel to it than simple noise by the nature of the equipment and work being done. The second location of interest is accessed from W. Gordon Pike. This area is north of Gordon Pike, between Rogers and Walnut. The entrance has a stone wall on either side of the driveway. I have observed dump trucks marked with the City of Bloomington logo going in and out of there. That site produces loud banging noises periodically, like the sound of dump trucks dumping something or being loaded. This all started in earnest within the last 6-8 months it seems like, although there have been less consistent bouts of such noises before that time frame. I would like to know if these are City operations, what exactly is going on, and how much longer these operations will continue. The use and enjoyment of my property is being greatly diminished by the noise and in a pandemic where I am home most of the day, that is incredibly frustrating.
It is 10:10pm on Saturday, February 20, 2021. There is some sort of machinery making all sorts of racket in the area over around the police shooting range property or the city utilities property off of Gordon Pike. This is a constant, ongoing problem. Why is there this noise after 10pm? This is absurd. Can the City not figure this out and put some reasonable restrictions on the use of these properties? The properties are not zoned for construction equipment like this anyway. Do citizens need to take the enforcement into our own hands and start investigations and collect evidence and file lawsuits to permanently enjoin this ridiculous behavior? Figure it out.

I live down the street from a construction site which is consistently incredibly noisy very early in the morning. I have reported this construction site for noise violations before, and the problem was, for a time, resolved. However, the problem has started again as they are once again beginning work early in the morning (around 5 a.m.) which, I am aware, is well before the time they are supposed to start even staging for their operations. I am an IU grad student and I need to be able to rest. I am aware that my neighborhood is in a rather defunct part of town, but people still live here and need to be able to function as normal. Please help this to stop. Thanks sincerely, Thade Correa 327 W. First St., Bloomington
I contacted the city forester twice and left a voicemail but I didn’t receive any response. This tree is in the city’s right of way and is declining. I was hoping to get advice to save it before it becomes a safety hazard. There are many young children in our neighborhood.
There are two fences that, I believe, are in violation of the city's ordiance for height. They are a nussiance and dangerous. Something must be done.
As of this afternoon, I have orange and red flags marching across my front lawn, far from the utility easement. I don't think there are electrical or TV cable wires there at present. Is ATT about to put them there?
Furniture and glass were thrown from an apt at the Stageyard last night. There is large debris and broken glass all over the alley behind their building.
