Tree down on Clifton Ave, between 1st and 2nd Street, closer to 1st Street. Not a large tree, but couldn’t be moved by one person.
The retaining drainage Channel wall below the driveway is falling apart. This is a serious safety hazard. Additionally, tons of weeds are growing inside the channel that need removal and cleanup. This over growth is another reason why the cracks are appearing and the channel walls are falling apart. Please take action promptly. Thanks.
A Cedar tree needs to be removed. I contacted the city forester a couple of years ago (and got an affirmative reply from him) to put this action on a waiting list. I called once again a number of months ago and did not receive any reply. The tree, which I believe is on city property, is growing into the power lines and is interfering with the street light on the electrical pole. I believe it might also be a vector for diseases of pine trees in the area. Thank you very much. Glenn Gero 8122728918
Cleanup of debris from June 25 storm requested. We have stacked branches, limbs, etc. at street at end of driveway. (There are many!) We put in a request (#191934) on July 11, but can no longer see that request on the uReport page.
Requesting removal of debris from the late June wind storm. Our previous Ureport request (#192302) was updated to Resolved, but the debris has never been removed. The attached photo is from last Wednesday, 9/11/24.
Dear City of Bloomington Representative, Last night’s torrential rain brought a lot of water down our driveway from the street, some of which eventually ended up in our finished basement. We've lived at this address since 2009, and this has been a problem we've lived with since then. We’ve spent almost $15,000 on waterproofing our basement, installing storm drains at the bottom of our driveway, halfway down our driveway, and installing a berm on top of the driveway. Still, water that runs down the Anita Street takes a hard right into our driveway and overwhelms our systems. Anita Street slopes south to north, after it has turned from the east to west slope of East 2nd street. We believe a majority of the water coming down Anita Street actually ends up in our driveway. A lot of the water from the street also collects in the yard of our neighbor, Allyson Youat Schnable. Water that has come into our basement has damaged equipment, furniture, boxes and their contents, and is a threat to our foundation. I believe we have exhausted our options to comprehensively deal with the amount of storm water that is presented to us. We would love for the city to address the water coming down the street. I would be thrilled to talk to a city official about this problem. Many thanks, Maarten Bout Eastside Neighborhood 511 S Anita Street 812-219-3377
Weeds are very high and growing over the sidewalk.
An anonymous caller is concerned about overgrowth near Wheeler Mission that is covering buildings and sidewalk in the area.
This house was sold last year and is currently used as a student rental. The grass has not been mowed this spring and at present is roughly three feet high.
