Large stand of invasive bamboo all along Olcott Blvd side of property
Large invasive bamboo stand at corner of Olcott Blvd and St. Remy Drive, on S/E corner.
Large stand of invasive bamboo at 2739 E. Brigs Bend and Olcott Blvd, N/W corner. See back yard - visible from street.
Hello, In light of the city's new ban on invasive bamboo plants, I am reporting a large stand of plants as landscaping in the yard at 3846 E Moores Pike, Bloomington, IN 47401. Perhaps this has been reported before as it is difficult to miss. It is close to the road, covering much of the front yard. Thanks, Jon
Poison Ivy: West of Providence Place there is a walkway through part of Woolery Woods to Countryside Ln. This walkway can be seen in the photo included. Poison Ivy is growing all along this walkway on its west side and is a hazard for children in the area. Please help in having this poison ivy removed. Thank you, David Harris
Trash Cans are always out at the street, and when their trash can is full they just leave their lose trash next to the trash can by the street.
Nearly every night there is 10 vehicles parked at this residence. More then half are adults. This is a 4 bedroom house. I believe there are more residents living here than allowed.
Property should be inspected prior to allowing it to be rented. House is in disrepair and outdoor property has invasive plants growing all around buildings and up into electrical wires on SE corner of property.
Please check for over-occupancy. Four vehicles parked in driveway this morning, one extending out over sidewalk.
I wasn't sure where to send this to but hoping you can share these remarks with the Historic Preservation Commission: The HPC seems to have developed a recent tendency to focus not on the history of buildings and places but instead on what is going to be built in making decisions. I would like them to emphasize the former more, as believe it more closely aligns with their expertise and jurisdiction. Commissioner Derek Richey for instance posted to the History Club Facebook page about the Player's Pub building. Totally fine, but he also posted that implied scary, ugly, and expensive student housing would be built there. Let Planners and the City Commission deal with that. I'd like HPC to focus on whether something is worth saving, and if the only reason it is worth saving is to stop something HPC doesn't like instead of its historic value, that is not a good reason for HPC to stop something. I have no dog in the fight with this building - whatever happens is fine - but let's not use scare tactics and pseudoplanning. Historic districts are often pitched to neighborhoods as a means to enhance property values so complaining about how something high priced will go in somewhere is a bit hypocritical anyways. Also thank you for those times you all allow flexibility to creative development and reuse when keeping the old while adding new needed dimensions to our town.
