Water Utility Problems

Case Date:
7/26/2016

This is in relation to a concern regarding an excavation project on the neighbors property, located at 3720 Brighton avenue. The neighbors project is impacting the run off from a storm drain which runs through his property. He is using the run off from the drain to fill several large ponds he has developed. The ponds are not properly reinforced nor is there a mechanism for controlling their overflow or run off. The result is that after this mornings recent rain, mud and debris are flowing from his property onto an adjoining piece of property owned by an hoa. I called four weeks ago to inquire about a legal permit which I assumed he had for the work. The employee who assisted me found that there was a permit in place for excavation which related to a proposed addition. We have not observed any home construction activities with relation to this excavation.

2227 S Sweetbriar CIR

Case Date:

I tried and tried to get the "location" to 2238 S Sweetbriar circle, but it kept saying 2227, not 2238. Anyway, the locust trees in the tree plot in front of my house have limbs growing toward the ground. I have to practically get on my knees when mowing to get under one of them. Many of the trees in this addition have limbs very low to the ground, sidewalks, streets, or peoples' yards and need some trimming.

Drainage or Runoff

2227 S Sweetbriar CIR

Case Date:
10/31/2016

Once again I tried to make the map show 2238 S Sweetbriar Circle, but to not avail. Behind my home there is a city right-away with trees. Many of them are those "tree of Heaven" trees from China. Several of their limbs are nearly to my newly installed roof and others, along with other vegetation are encroaching on my lawn. Mowing is becoming difficult, sunshine doesn't get through so I am seeing lots of moss and mold. Some of those trees need trimming and the brush needs to be cut back so I get some sunshine back there. Also since the city has redone a drain up on Henderson Street, I am getting lots of rocks, dirt, etc. with every rainfall that is filling up the area in the back. I moved here in 1998 and It has never been this bad until the drain was redone. Thanks for listening to my complaints. Hope these things can be fixed. The "tree of Heaven" trees are very nasty. They are terrible and multiply very quickly and grow extremely fast. Can anything be done to eradicate them? They root out any native Indiana trees. They need to be gone!

Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

Bloomington Rail Trail

Case Date:
7/25/2018

The sidewalks between the B-Line Trail and Madison Street at the 3rd Street bridge are getting overgrown. Both sidewalks on the north and south sides of 3rd Street running west from the trail to Madison have low hanging trees and overgrown shrubs. There is also a lot of loose sand on the south sidewalk of 3rd Street overpass. As the only way onto the Trail at 3rd, this all makes for an adventure. On my Bicycle I have to be very careful. I'd like to see this trimmed. I bike commute on the trail from the south to the area of 3rd and Madison. My roommate bike commutes to Cowork. I see others use the sidewalks too. Could be much safer. Thanks!
