In 2019/2020, the Rogers Multiuse Path Project removed a large area of mature evergreen trees and shrubs. Before the project began, the city convened a public meeting at Sherwood Oaks church, where this project was presented. Neighborhood residents were under the impression (from what was stated at the meeting) that despite the construction and removal of mature trees and shrubs there was a plan to replace the mature trees and provide appropriate barriers to shield adjacent residences from Rogers Rd. Given that one of the adjacent neighborhoods is named “The Woodlands” it is ironic that the large swath of mature trees and shrubs was removed by the city. In 2020, the neighborhood inquired about the promised tree replacement plan and advocated in support of the tree replacement plan via email exchanges with a city employee. This link to Google Street view shows some of the mature trees, shrubs, and vegetation that existed before removal. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Rogers+Rd+%26+Winding+Brook+Circle/@39.1360284,-86.5043552,3a,75y,11.81h,104.02t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sM5SSfiHav1RemgRHxy-NNQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D-14.024763466822193%26panoid%3DM5SSfiHav1RemgRHxy-NNQ%26yaw%3D11.809023229470313!7i16384!8i8192!4m7!3m6!1s0x886c66797856700f:0x281f08677540884f!4b1!8m2!3d39.136063!4d-86.504227!16s%2Fg%2F1ymsmq0qb?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDQyMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D The neighbors request that you please consider restoration of trees, shrubs, and vegetation.

We are trying to figure out with our neighbor how to manage invasive, prohibited species on the property line. We are submitting our letter from us to them and would like advisement from the appropriate city employee to make sure we handle the issue correctly. James and Constance, Upon my review, it is not clear who cut back the shrubs / vegetation. Ellee and I reviewed the type of plants affected and there were no trees, only shrubs / bushes, as designated by the Bloomington UDO. The area in question is in both a Utilities easement and a Water run off / drainage type easement. I am not sure if someone was contracted to maintain these areas. That said, we did notice a significant number of invasive plant species originating from your property and invading / growing onto our property. As per the Bloomington UDO, these specific plants should be removed from one’s property. Our cursory evaluation identified at least and not limited to: common privet, porcelain berry, Japanese honey suckle, winter creeper and English ivy and poison ivy. What we would like by July 1, 2025 is your plan to maintain or eliminate the plants on the city’s invasive species list that originate from your property and grow onto our property. We will then take your proposal to the City for approval, as it is well established that maintaining invasive species includes not letting the plant flower so as to limit spread. If you have any questions identifying the specific plants, Ellee has graciously agreed to donate her time and effort to help you identify. If you cannot come up with a definitive plan for invasive species maintenance or elimination, The Spiers will be happy to maintain the invasive species growing from your portion of the easement onto our property in a quarterly fashion. All we ask is that you hire an official surveyor to stake a clear delineation of property lines / easement, so we know which of your invasive species plants are our responsibility to maintain. As good stewards of the community and being good neighbors, we appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Each season that goes by, your invasive species seed the creek and spread the invasive plants throughout Bloomington. If you cannot provide a reasonable plan, we will ask the City for assistance in devising a plan. Again, thank you for bringing this to my intention. I learned a lot about invasive species today.

The yard on the corner of N. Stoneycrest Road and Winding Way is a jungle. I have not seen anyone come out of that house for years. Grass is high and weeds and trees have taken over. It is a terrible eyesore for our neighborhood. I can't see the address because it isn't listed on the mailbox, but you can't miss it. The one next to it on Stoneycrest has grass over eight inches high as well.

The sidewalk at the north end of the tennis court in the southeast park has a large area filled with mud that is difficult for pedestrians to cross. It needs to be cleared and the drainage corrected.
