Multiple helicopters flying low for an extended period around Broadview neighborhood and Switchyard Park after dark, causing our house to vibrate and frightening our animals. Multiple explosions heard.
Military helicopters over the city at night? Not ok! Maybe some warnings next time?
If the military and police were planning to engage in night training this evening, WHY was the public on the south side of Bloomington not notified? Many residents were scared and are extremely angry they were not informed. People were outside wondering what was going on. The helicopters were flying incredibly low over our houses, literally shaking our homes. Social media was lit up with reports of loud booms, police, shooting, and people were scared. This was irresponsible for Bloomington residents to not be notified.
Please turn back on the water fountains in the city parks. The CDS has advised that the risk of surface transmission of COVID-19 is minimal. Not having access to drinking water during these hot days is likely causing more harm than turning the fountains back on.
I noticed road repairs on Roundhill lane in Spicewood, but Spicewood Ct and Spicewood lane are full of potholes.

Was not informed of military exercise that took place overnight from 07Jun to 08Jun. The noise from the plane/chopper was alarming & was loud enough to rattle windows. It also continued extremely late into the night (~ 2:30 am) which was a significant noise disturbance during quiet hours. City did not provide notice that (1) this was going to occur or (2) the timing of the exercise.
I believe the City owes an explanation to its citizens regarding the military maneuvers that took place last night just outside Switchyard Park. Those were Special Operations Aviation Regiments apparently performing training maneuvers in the midst of a residential area. There are training areas all over Ft Bragg, Quantico and Ft Campbell that look like towns & buildings, where they can actually use live ammunition to do these types of maneuvers. I understand our military needs to train - but why Bloomington? It seems way out of the ordinary.
The street tree in front of our office was removed a few years ago and not replaced. The tree plot is a bit of a trip hazard without a tree. Can one be planted in place of the tree that was removed. I believe it was a Linden that was there and it was great!
