The street light over the mailboxes at 2700 South McCartney Lane was turned over to city when McCartney Lane became a city street rather than a private street. It is no longer maintained by the HOA because of that. It has burned out and makes that area dark and dangerous. Can it be changed, please? Thanks - Vickie Temple Davison Resident at 2724 South McCartney 812-322-4124
Large, deep pothole on E. 10th Street across from Wright Quad. It's in the north lane right in front of the bus stop that's closest to the Student Health Center. If someone on a bike, skateboard or scooter drives over it, they could be seriously injured.
Trees on Pete Ellis Drive marked for removal Hi there—I just read the article in the paper about this issue. Please work with the state to not remove all of these beautiful old trees. Surely some compromise can be made to save some of them! Thank you!
Ticket #208026 is still unresolved after 11 days. Sidewalk remains unshoveled - it is trampled down by all of the pedestrians. Additionally, the large houses just south of the school on the east side of High St have also not shoveled their sidewalks.
The bushes growing on the east side of the Best Buy parking lot are obstructing the line of site on S. Williamsburg Dr., adjacent to Aldi's. Please advise if this is private property, I will contact owner. Thank you
Our water consumption has spiked in the last two months and continues even with the good weather. Before the spike, we averaged under 100 gallons per day. Now we are averaging 175-200 gallons per day. I have checked toilets for leaks, under sinks, the outside faucet, etc. We have not changed our water usage practices. I can only wonder if the meter is miss reporting our actual usage. Can City Utilities check to make sure the meter is reading properly? Our address is 3916 N Whitewood Way, Bloomington, IN 47404
I am trying to discontinue residential service in Bloomington, Indiana.
I am a resident in the area of Pete Ellis Drive and Discovery Parkway in Bloomington, Indiana, and I am writing to strongly urge you not to proceed with cutting down the trees along these roadways. These trees provide far more than aesthetic value. Mature urban trees offer shade that reduces pavement temperatures, lower surrounding air temperatures by several degrees, and help combat the urban heat island effect. They reduce energy costs for nearby buildings, improve air quality by filtering pollutants, absorb carbon dioxide, and help manage stormwater runoff by intercepting rainfall before it reaches drainage systems. Removing them increases runoff, erosion, and strain on municipal infrastructure. These trees also serve as critical habitat for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife, helping maintain local biodiversity. Beyond environmental benefits, numerous studies show that trees improve mental health, reduce stress, support public safety, and increase property values. Tree-lined streets encourage walkability and community engagement, contributing to overall quality of life. Mature trees cannot simply be replaced with saplings and expected to provide the same ecological, environmental, and economic benefits for decades. A replacement ratio of less than one-fifth does not meaningfully offset the long-term loss of canopy coverage. It takes 20–40 years for newly planted trees to begin delivering comparable benefits. Urban tree canopy is an essential part of climate resilience planning. Many cities are investing heavily in expanding — not reducing — their canopy to meet sustainability and climate goals. Removing established trees runs counter to these broader environmental objectives. I respectfully ask that you reconsider this proposal and explore alternatives that preserve as many existing trees as possible. If removal is deemed absolutely necessary, a significantly higher replacement ratio and a clear canopy restoration plan should be implemented. Protecting our urban canopy is an investment in the long-term health, sustainability, and livability of Bloomington. Thank you for your consideration.
