Two swastikas are spray painted on the B Line, just south of where it intersects with 6th Street (by the Foundry apartment building). It appears there might be another further north, just past Le Petit Cafe.
We are new to Bloomington and have been enjoying the cities walking trails and parks. Sunday we visited Rail Trail walking trail on Country Club Drive and we were shocked at the amount of trash we saw. We parked in the lot and walked the rock trail and at the second bench we started seeing a lot of trash and debris on the access road to the left of the trail. LOTS of debris and it looked almost like a shanty town and camping areas set up. The area may be on private property don't know but it is a hazard. Just wanted to let you know
New street tree not replaced: after the multi-use path was installed, a tree replacing a large locust was planted. That tree died almost immediately. This spring, someone from the city cut it off at the base, but did not replace it. I u-reported it last year as well and was informed then that the contractor which originally planted it would replace it sometime during last year. It’s no skin off my nose if it isn’t replaced, just rather disappointing. Thanks!
For the fourth time in the past 18 months, the tulip poplar planted in the easement in 2021 is still dead. It has been dead since March of 2022 when it was reported as dead. The City has ignored this dead tree since it was reported as dead more than a year ago, when the City acknowledged it as dead and slated to be replaced in 2022. It's now 2023 and nothing has happened. This tree is pining for the Fjords!
My neighbor requested for me to submit a ticket on his behalf: Tree limbs are hanging low along RCA Park Dr. Could you please consider trimming them back? Thank you!
There is someone tent camping in the approximate location of the pin in the above photo
The B-Link trail between S. Henderson and S. Walnut has no lights and is dangerous to ride after 7PM unless you have headlights, nevermind walking. I've been repeatedly surprised by wildlife while riding even with my bike headlights on, and have nearly crashed into the guardrail before. Please look into lighting the B-Link.
There is a large/full/mature mulberry tree hanging over power lines, utility lines, cable and telephone wires. The tree is specifically at the edge of the alley entering Jackson St from the property address listed above. In storms the branches bounce off the power lines and causes a lot of sparks. Cars are parked very close to this and concern is of fire or tearing down the power lines if a branch were to fall. Recommending a thorough cut back of large branches back to mid alley. Duke came out to trim some small branches, but didn't resolve the problem.
Switchyard Large Dog Park - water/mud problem. The main large tree in the center of the Large Dog Park is a pit of mud. Would really appreciate it being covered with sod to prevent muddy dogs!
Honey locust in City ROW is stressed/diseased/dying. The Highpoint Neighborhood Association paid Less Huss to have this tree planted a few years ago. Is there something that can be done to save it? If a watering issue, neighbors can attend to that, but it's not clear if that is indeed the issue.
