The City owns TWO Historic Buildings. The Waldron AND The Banneker. One serves white residents. The other serves Black residents. One is getting a $500k renovation. The other desperately needs roof, HVAC, windows, flooring, masonry and drainage repair. Recover forward should honor ALL residents of Bloomington. Black and white. Invest in The Banneker.
A tree in the front lawn of this property has two large broken branches that overhang the street, and they've been so for a couple months now. A lot of people walk under these branches on their way to and from Highland Village Park, and it's only a matter of time before one or both of these branches detach and fall onto the street. Currently, you can hear them creaking and see them swaying with the wind. They need to be safely removed before they snap off.
Lots of trash dumped on slope along the b-line trail between light posts 155 and 156.
There is a lot of trash, some of it potentially hazardous (motor oil, parts of appliances) between the Rail Trail and the fence, starting at the marker .5 miles South of Country Club Road. Some of it has clearly been there for years and is partially buried. We were removing garlic mustard and took some of the smaller trash but a truck and a crew of people will be needed to haul it away.
There was a homeless camp in the woods by Clear Creek at the end of Pinewood Drive. The people have moved on, as all their tents have been removed. However, there is a lot of remaining trash. Is it possible to have sanitation clean up this area? Please let me know if I need to contact someone else for this request. Thank you!
I'm giving the City a $50 citation. It's been more than 24 hours since the snow stopped and the B-Line Trail along the 2nd Street Kroger is snow covered. Unacceptable. This is not the only part of the trail like this. Great work. With more snow and continued cold weather, the problem won't just go away. Grab a shovel, let's go.
Parking lot striping on this lot in Bryan Park and other parking lot just north of this one on Henderson is very hard to see. Can you please re-stripe these parking lots so spaces are more evident? Thank you.
The culvert at the south end of the parking lot on Woodlawn across from The Bryan Park pool has been eroding for quite a while and looks like it could collapse.
I thought there was a street tree category but I can't find it. Nevertheless, I need to report a hazardous dead Ash tree at the corner of my property at W. 11th St and N. Oolitic Dr. It's the tree right next to the Oolitic street sign. The specific address is 1510 W. 11th aka Forest Homes Addition Lot 48. The tree constantly drops extremely large limbs onto the property, the sidewalk right below, and into the edge of the street. Due to the size of the tree, the limbs wouldn't just leave a slight bruise if one fell on a person. Obviously, I understand the difficult situation we find ourselves in at the moment, but I'm hoping this tree can be removed asap. On Thurs, April 30, Bluestone will be removing a large dead tree on my property and I am also paying them to remove a couple large, dead branches from this Ash tree. That won't take care of what is higher up, though. Thank you.
There is a large tree overhanging the street parking in front of 900 S Washington St with a very large dead section right over cars parked there. In the time I've lived across the street, two cars have been damaged by falling limbs from this tree, including one incident where a branch approx. 8" in diameter speared through someone's sunroof, totalling the car. The dead branch currently on the tree is roughly the same size and is starting to shed sticks and bark. I would like for it to be removed by the proper authorities before it falls on a car, or into the roadway or bike lane and hurts someone. Thank you!
