A couple of weeks ago, the city (I assume it was the city) cut down a large tree along High Street, a short distance north of Hillside. They left these logs perched precariously on a bank, where it looks as if they are in danger of tumbling into the street, in the path of some unsuspecting motorist. I assumed they'd be safely cleared away quickly, but a couple of weeks have gone by and they're still there.

There is a skunk carcass on the sidewalk just south of 527 S. Washington St. (South of 2nd Street, on the East side of Washington St.) I walked there this morning around 10:00. The skunk had probably been killed on the street within the past 12 hours, and then something had dragged it onto the sidewalk. It would be good if someone could remove the carcass. There is a skunk odor over the neighborhood, and the carcass has been torn apart quite a bit. Thanks very much.
What is wrong with the City transportation people! We already have the worst traffic in Bloomington. Absolutely DO NOT eliminate the one ways of Atwater college etc. to create slow and jammed skinny streets without any alternatives. Biking is great and so is walking but we all can't afford to live 200 feet from work and school and some of us must get across town. Neighborhoods are great but Bloomington can't be one giant one with zero arterials. That is crazy. We need several large and frankly expanded arteriajs to get across town in both directions. And then if you want to have slow and multi use webbing that is great. But we still need major trafficways. Stop killing or economy and time by creating logjams. Please please keep two lane roads. Also with the new construction for students miles from campus in the East there better be a plan to keep them from jamming things up. We need a healthy third or other east/west large and speedy road all the way through town. The same with North south options. Stop catering to white liberal privilege of folks with enough money and time to buy a downtown historic home and take their electric bike to work. That isn't the reality of working people.

Hi, Regarding the July 3 downtown fireworks display, https://bloomington.in.gov/bicentennial links to https://bloomington.in.gov/sites/default/files/2018-06/Fireworks%202018%20FAQ%20Document%20v5%20-%20FINAL.pdf which, among other things, states, "What is the perimeter around the launch site? The City has worked hard on safety for the event. There will be a perimeter around the fireworks display area. Please see attached map. Viewers will not be able to watch the fireworks inside that area." There is no "attached map" that I could find and no instructions/advisory as to where folks might set up lawn chairs and view the show. Given that there may be a large crowd, where are we advised to gather to watch? BTW, the "Calendar" the city site links to (https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=bloomington.in.gov_4m4ito5pefg3ts9pb9uudhda6o@group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York) has no entry for July 3. Finally, the "flyer" at https://www.visitbloomington.com/event/b-town-boom!-fireworks-over-downtown/38107/ states, "Cook Group and CFC Properties, in partnership with the City of Bloomington, are excited to bring fireworks back to downtown Bloomington for the first time in years. B-town Boom fireworks are an opportunity to celebrate the Bicentennial of the City of Bloomington and Monroe County while kicking off Bloomington's Fourth of July festivities. More info to come." Again, no information about where viewers should or can gather. Can you please advise?
Dead street tree. It seemed alive this spring, but the buds all fell off.

To whom it may concern: My name is Lauren Goldman, and I am the treasurer of the IU Waterski and Wakeboard Team. Our club team was founded over 40 years ago, and is comprised of a group of enthusiastic undergraduate students competing in collegiate water ski and wakeboard tournaments. From rookies to national title holders, our members are all highly passionate and motivated individuals that live for practice on Lake Lemon. When our members are not in class or on the lake, they are serving the Bloomington area through volunteering and alumni events on and off campus. Our team is a growing presence on Indiana University’s campus, on Lake Lemon, and across the city of Bloomington. We have many aspirations for our upcoming school year, including expanding our membership, doing more for our community, and competing as a team in national tournaments. In order to reach our goals, we need more opportunities to fundraise money in the Bloomington area. A few of our ideas were to set up a grilled cheese stand on a weekend night at a busy street corner, host a car wash in downtown Bloomington, sell our personalized merchandise, and more. On behalf of the club, I wanted to request information regarding how we could turn these aspirations into a reality. I wanted to ask what Bloomington businesses or locations would grant us permission to host a car wash, or do we need to follow a process of steps to be able to vendor on a street corner? Our goal is to have a positive, lasting impact on our community while also reaching our own individual potentials. I hope to get in contact with someone willing to assist our team coming this fall. Any insight, information, or advice would be highly appreciated. My phone number is (260) 267-3526 and I am always available to be reached about any questions or concerns. Thank you in advance for your time.
Paul Smedberg is operating a business out of his home. 517 N Colony Court. Is this authorized? I know the subdivision doesn't allow it but I assume a city permit is required? Please check covenants before issuing if one was. Hopefully it wasn't and you can let him know he needs to have his public business elsewhere. Thank you.
