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.

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!

Ms. Wells states that the property owner on the east side have planted flowers and ornamental grasses next to the street, so now when people park and get out of there cars they are stepping into these flower beds.
