There is a large branch dangling from electrical wires across E University street in the 900 block

There is a utility pole on the east side of my lot which has all kinds of wires, cables and other things running up and down the pole as well as some extending horizontally (which I assume carry power). There is a line of very tall pine trees next to the fence on the west side of the lot just east of me. A few weeks ago Duke Power trimmed the top portions of those trees, the portions surrounding two large cables which I believe carry power to the subdivision south of me. Duke did not trim the lower portions of the tall trees and now some of those lower branches have collapsed onto horizontal wires extending from the utility pole, wires underneath the two large cables. I think some of these wires are old telephone lines which are now not that far off the ground. I need to get the lower portions of those trees trimmed (the ones hanging over my property) but I'm not comfortable hiring tree trimmers to do the necessary work when there are all kinds of wires interspersed with the tree branches. I got a referral from Duke for a contractor who can figure out what all the lines are for and take down the ones which are inactive such as old telephone wires. However, the Duke contractor said the City needs to look at this first to see what, if anything, the City needs to do before the Duke contractor does any work. City, can you help me here? There is some urgency here as these lower branches keep collapsing and anyone on the ground can reach wires attached to the utility pole.

Once again Street Department is repaving roads with barely any milling work done, this time on South Washington. Milling down 1' strips less than .5" at the curb and not milling at all in the middle of the road. The "repaving" here is just piling up over an inch of fresh asphalt on top of un-milled asphalt. This raises the grade of the road, which also means curbs are now effectively lower and storm drains that should be at grade are now sitting in a pit of asphalt.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally report an ongoing issue with a neighboring property located at 111 W Southern Dr. The resident, Ashley, owns three dogs. One of them, a dog named Ruby, consistently exhibits aggressive and disruptive behavior that has significantly impacted our quality of life. Ruby barks incessantly, often for prolonged periods, particularly when we are outside on our front porch or tending to our garden. Despite multiple opportunities to address the situation, Ashley has made it clear that she does not consider the barking a problem, stating that because it does not bother her, it should not bother anyone else. This dismissive attitude has left us with no reasonable resolution and has effectively driven me away from gardening—a once peaceful and restorative activity for me. In addition to the constant barking, Ruby regularly escapes into our yard, approaching us with hackles raised, barking and snarling aggressively. This behavior is alarming and feels threatening, especially when we are simply trying to enjoy our own property. When anyone walks by the house, even with Ashley present, Ruby behaves similarly, charging at pedestrians and displaying aggressive posturing. I am aware of at least one incident in which Ruby’s behavior caused such fear that she was sprayed with mace. Despite repeated concerns from neighbors, Ashley continues to disregard the issue. She claims the dogs are "working dogs" and that their behavior is normal for the breed. However, they are not being worked, socialized, or exercised in any meaningful way. They are rarely seen off the porch or in environments like dog parks where they might interact with other dogs or people. Given that Switchyard Park is essentially our front yard and a public, family-friendly space, this level of negligence is particularly troubling. I regret not filing this report sooner. I have been patient for years in hopes that the situation would improve, but the lack of responsibility and disregard for the safety and comfort of others has reached a point where formal action is necessary. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Sincerely, Pauline Ortiz y Pino 1605 S College Ave Bloomington, IN 47403 949-439-8203 ortizypino@alconsaudio.us
