People are living year-round in an RV parked on an unimproved surface at 220 S. Maple Street. They have been there for about 18 months. I previously reported them to H.AN.D. and the city's legal department. There are also 3-5 other cars parked in the small property lot at all times. The man is apparently fixing cars for others. Various articles and garbage bags are often strewn about. Their has been many domestic violence and nuisance reports to the police and fire department during this time.

The owners of this property currently have a contractor cutting an entire tree down, blocking the alleyway. They frequently have contractors and tenants of their airbnb in and out of their property, blocking the street, blocking cars in, encroaching on nearby property. No one in the adjacent properties were notified this would be happening. This tree is old and enormous, and one of a pair that was clearly planted together years ago. They're chopping it down instead of fixing their sewage - not illegal or a violation, but 100% selfish yuppie hogshit in keeping with everything else they've done.

2nd day in a row the owners of 813 W Kirkwood have directed a tree removal service to park in, and block off, the alleyway. Yesterday, they occupied the entire length of the alley, cutting off every driveway and blocking everyone in. Today, after seeing they intended to drive heavy equipment over my yard to access 813, I told them not to, and they proceeded to anyway. Business is Anthony's Lawn Care, 812-929-9463.

There is a sign advertising an AirBnB rental attached to a tree on the property at 813 Kirkwood Ave. The tree is one of two on either side of the alley next to the property, and is located on the berm between the street and the sidewalk, and so appears to be in the city's Right of Way. As far as I understand it, this signage is in violation of the Bloomington Municipal Code, Title 12 (Streets, Sidewalks, and Storm Drains), Chapter 24.080 (Trees and Flora), Ord. 08-06 § 2 (part), 2008) - Prohibited actions, which states "(2) No person shall do any of the following to trees subject to these provisions: (b) Attach any wires, nails, chains, cables, advertising posters or any other contrivance" I would appreciate it if the city removed this sign and prevented such actions by the landlord in the future.

Please plow the alley behind S Maple Street. Multiple residences use that as the primary entry/exit from their homes, because they don’t have access to the main street.

Your homeless people problem within the city of Bloomington is out of control. It is ruining the city an it's image. Even Inpls TV news is bashing the city for it's pathetic attempt at dealing with the issue. People feel unsafe as do local students. Who gets the blame when something terrible does occur? The mayor's office has certainly known of this problem for quite some time now. It will be the mayor's office having to answer the questions of the victims whenever something does occur. Fix it. The people of Bloomington deserve better.

Hi, just putting a request in for snow removal for the alley I live on if/when you're able to get to it. My house is in the alley between Kirkwood and 4th, and there's been no plowing here since it began snowing a week or two ago. It's normally not a big issue other than the ice that builds up and makes walking dangerous, but after this storm I'm pretty well blocked in completely. The complicating factor is that this is a fairly narrow alley, with a drainage ditch at one point that can make navigating it with large equipment dicey - I wouldn't recommend anything bigger than a pickup with a plow come through, if you are in fact able to dispatch anyone here anytime soon. I understand that even if you can it may be a while, but wanted to put the request in regardless, as the postal service is having a less than ideal time getting down here and the snow compacts into ice if it isn't cleared. I'd very much appreciate it if you can make it, even if it won't be for a bit. Many thanks either way!
