Hi, There is a large Callery pear tree along a waterway and it should be removed. Several smaller Callery pear trees appear to have sprouted nearby and should also be removed.

Leaf blowing riding-mower abuse. The riding mower, attached with a leaf blower, driven by a city employee, Wednesday April 26 at 12:30pm, was being used to abuse the soil and surrounding greenspace. The shoulder of the west spur trail, at the southern end of the Switchyard Trail, was being subjected to harsh blower force and hostile behaviour. This force and speed created a billowing soil-cloud that rose 50ft above the trail and continued to float towards the creek 300 ft in an east direction. This environmental abuse was viewed from the Bloomington Rail Trail parking lot and witnessed by two city employees and five volunteers. From this vantage point we were able to see the leaf blower mechanism had a diameter of 12-18". The speed and noise of the mower drew our attention. The previous day, I had conducted a survey and recorded invasive plants along this portion of the trail. This slender strip of greenspace did not have leaves to be cleared from the trail, nor did it need to be mown. In addition, I observed the ground cover habitat being used by a pileated woodpecker as it foraged for food. Treating habitat in this way destroys important food sources, is a breathing health-hazard, is abusive, and demonstrates hostile behaviour.

Hi, This tree along Olcott Blvd appears to be dying and in need of attention. Bark is falling away from the tree and has shown various other signs of deterioration. If possible, we'd like it removed and another tree of the same planted in its place.

A large, broken branch is hanging over the Clear Creek Trail. It's only held up by a few smaller branches and looks like it could fall pretty easily. Since it's such a large branch, I'm concerned that somebody could get hurt. Location is on Clear Creek Trail, north of the That Road Trailhead, about 100 feet north of the "From Tapp Round-About 1 mile marking sign that faces northbound.(or about 100 feet north of the last house that's on Dove Dr., on the right of the trail if you're going northbound)

Good Evening. You may know this already, but there are two landscape plants in the Mills Pool grounds that are nearly passed away completely and really look bad. One is the Blue Spruce tree right on Blair Ave and the other is a Mugo Pine in the long winding planter bed up next to the fence along Blair Ave. They are really not well and they look really bad. I'm hoping they can be removed prior to the start of the pool season on May 27th so the rest of the city can see the beauty of this pool and grounds and neighborhood. Just trying to be a good citizen and member of my community. Thanks for all you do for all the parks and grounds in the city.
