Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)

We had our basement flood (wet carpet in half the basement) on January 20, 2017 without any previous sign of leakage on that side of the house. The source of the water is unclear, but I'm wondering if the home (built ca. 1973) has a footer drain connected to the storm drain. Kevin Potter is coming out to inspect for structural damage at 2 pm today (1/25/17)
The city storm drain was updated within the past two years with the new pipe starting at the down-slope corner of our property. The neighbor two houses up-slope from us discharges a lot of water from his property and had excavation work done near the end of his french drain on the 18th or 19th. Part of this work involved off and onloading a sizeable backhoe in front of our driveway near where the old and new drain pipe would be joined. I'm not sure what work the neighbor had done. In addition to his drainage, the neighbor immediately down slope from us was also draining his pool into the storm drain on what had been a very rainy week.
Is it possible to send a city employee out to see whether some combination of these activities has caused the drainage system to fail or otherwise backflow into our house? Thanks!

The street at the end of our driveway and in front of our mailbox has been eroding to the point that I'm worried it will cause a tripping or biking hazard for the kids in our neighborhood or will damage the tires of people visiting (including the mail truck). I'm not sure if this is something we should attempt to repair ourselves.

Someone hit a tree on the city-owned portion of our property and left a partially broken branch hanging in the road. I don't feel safe cutting it down myself and I've already chased off two kids trying to play with it. Can the city send someone to remove it? Thanks!

Great job on the part of a city of Bloomington snow plow! While cleaning off our driveway at 5:30 this evening, the city plow/truck came up the street. I was sure the truck would plow up a tall trail of snow at the foot of our driveway (which I had just cleared). Instead, the driver shifted the plow blade the other direction as the truck came past me on the driveway! This action was so kind and thoughtful that I wanted you to know about it right away. The driver should be commended for his quick understanding and caring response. Kudos to that wonderful guy!

I just reported this, but the app wouldn't allow me to edit. The tent is actually tied to the fire hydrant.

At https://bloomington.in.gov/interactive/maps/parkingmap
the map shows either Residential Parking or Other Permit Required (can't tell which as the symbols are identical) on one block South and one block East of the intersection E. Smith Ave. and S. Dunn St. I don't believe this is accurate. I have not seen signs posted in this area and there are not adjoining residences. They are also not in a Zone.

There is a large pothole near the intersection of S Dunn and E Smith. Since people street park it is almost impossible to drive on that street without going through it.
