Hello! There is a tree that I think is just off our property and on city property (but don't know for sure). It's adjacent to a power line pole and has a lot of branches that are entangled with the power line and with most of the service drops, which go to our house but also to both neighboring houses. I'm worried it might be too much to be safe, even just from the extra weight on the lines. Could you help us with this? Thanks!

The pavement on the B-Line Trail is buckled in several places, especially between 2d & 3d Sts. I thought this would be corrected when warm weather came, but it's now 95 degrees and it hasn't been fixed. Someone needs to flatten the bumps. It would be easy on a day like this.

Please clear all of the homeless camps along the Bloomington Rail Trail. They are living along the trail on City owned property and it is making the trail less safe for everyone who uses the trail system. Please clear all of this illegal activity out before it becomes a bigger hazard like it has done in many other areas of the City. A secluded, wooded trail area is not the proper place to allow this congregation of a community that is known to have murders, thefts, fires, drug use, and other issues in various other camps the City and County have shut down. Take this seriously and clean up the trails for the residents of Bloomington be safely enjoy.

In response to uReport 187125: The response from the City said, "the majority of these issues are taking place on private property." Based on the location of the camps I was referring to, just north of Gordon Pike and to the east of the Rail Trail and east of the parallel gravel road, these are located on City-owned property. An image from the GIS showing the property owners of record for the parcels and the general area of the camps is attached. The City need not work with any private landowners to clean this up. It is City property being used to make the trail unsafe for everyone. Clear this activity out so it can make the secluded, wooded trail safer for all users. Thanks.

On the Bloomington Rail Trail where it crosses S Rogers St (at the horse farm) there are two sections of native trees planted by City Parks Dept and they are outgrowing their support wires (the supports put in upon planting). They all look great and have been successful but some are so big that the trunks have the wires growing right into the bark. Someone needs to cut the wires away and remove the support stakes in both sections. Thanks!

I live off of Thornton Dr and walk the B-Link trail to Switchyard Park daily. I have been observing a Cooper's hawk and two chicks in a nest for several weeks now, and was dismayed to see the city doing tree work over the last few days. They seem to have missed the tree with the hawks in it, but I would like to know 1) what environmental assessments were undertaken prior to conducting the tree work and 2) why the decision was made to remove branches now, during the nesting season, rather than in the fall or winter when most birds are not actively nesting. The disturbance from neighboring trees and noise could have been enough to make the birds abandon the nest out of fear for their safety, and they have lost significant protection from neighboring trees.

There are multiple low-hanging trees along S Park Ridge Road that make the sidewalk difficult to walk on. I believe these are city-maintained trees on the easement.
