I am reporting a second dead tree behind my house that is on the street side of the sidewalk. This one is also covered in vines.

I believe this tree behind my house was struck by lightening causing a large section of the tree to fall toward Moore's Pike. Much of what can be seen in the tree is vines, not leaves. Much of the tree is dead.

Unfortunately we are three weeks into the baseball season and the batting cages are still not setup at the Winslow Sports Complex. The kids have had no opportunity to practice batting, many of which are new to baseball and this is critical for getting them prepared for the first game and may impact their willingness to participate. Youth sports is such an important part of the community and having a good first experience is important. I would like to know what is causing the delay of the batting cage setup and when they are expected to be completed. Thank you.

Mills pool has 19 chairs TOTAL. This feels inequitable compared to Bryan Park. Given the proximity to low income housing, it feels important to give this pool a little more love instead of having starkly different offerings than BP.

There is a new sign in the parking lot at the Butler Community Garden on a pile of rotted wood chips that has been aging for a couple of years. The sign warns that the material is infested with invasive jumping worms. If that's the case, shouldn't this be removed and disposed of? If the sign is vandalized or destroyed and the material is used, what is the danger to the community garden plots?

I noticed that there is another concert this Sunday in Bryan Park. My family loves attending the concerts and movies since we live near by. I have noticed that the grass has was really long at the last concert and seems like has not been cut as regularly. Is there any chance it could be cut before these events?

I have two questions. 1. Can you reassure me that there will be programming in Bryan Park this spring/summer? I was disappointed to see that 90% of the winter programming is in Switchyard Park. I understand that it is new and exciting and has a lot of amenities but I really hope the other parks don’t get overlooked. 2. To whom do I speak about getting permission to install a temporary poetry hike in Winslow Woods? I would like to install cardboard signs on wooden stakes at half a dozen spots along the trail with a nature short poem on each. My initial thought was to do it for the Bloomington Montessori School (which my child attends) but I’d be happy to promote it more widely and it would certainly be available to anyone. Thank you.

I am a parent of three children participating in swim lessons at Bryan Park pool. I have several concerns with the lack of training and the ratios of children to instructors, especially in the level 1 class. The instructors are very nice, but clearly have not had instruction or training on how to conduct a swim class. My son in level one had about 14 kids in his class to one instructor. This is a safety issue in itself, but he also had very little instruction or even pool time during his lesson. He sat on the wall with his feet in the water 99% of the time other than when it was his turn to be dipped into the water for a few seconds. Additionally, in the toddler/guardian class, our poor instructor had just discovered she was teaching the class right before the class began. Needless to say, she was not prepared and did not have anything as far as activities pre-planned for the class. I understand that finding instructors may have been difficult this year, however, if a program is being offered especially ones that have a fee, I feel that there is an expectation for there to be some quality and training involved. Learning to swim is an extremely important skill that I would hope Parks and Rec would ensure to be a quality controlled program with many weeks prior training. Please consider implementing more staff and age and swim level specific training before swim sessions begin for these instructors in future sessions. Thank you for your time.

Bring back the arts to the city farmers market. Everything needs to be in a central location. I am not going to go out of my way twice a week to a Tuesday market and Saturday when I work on tuesdays. There’s a great need for Tuesday market, but it’s just for food. Please bring back the culture, life, art, and vibrancy to the original staple of the BTown farmers market. We want the vendors, food, and music/art all in one
