There is a downed tree ( a very large limb from a tree) and what appears to be an abandoned car at the deadend of Thornton and Troy Ct. The car has been there much longer than the downed tree limb. I am unsure if the tree is from private property or city owned property but has been down since the bad storm from the end of June....there is also a large section of fence that is down. If this is private property, I am unsure how to get ahold of the owners.
I submitted uReport Case #191361 for debris pickup at my property at 2625 E Edwards Row. The debris has not been picked up and I can no longer see this case number in the system. Can you please confirm that I'm still in the queue for pickup? Do you know around when I can expect the debris to be picked up? Thanks!
My neighbor at address 2131 S Bent Tree Drive just reported two dead trees on City property that are leaning towards both of our houses. Within the past 10 mins, another dead tree just split in half and half of it fell against other trees leaning towards our homes. Please please would the City come quickly and assess/remove these trees before they fall on our homes. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. Lark Hatfield 812-320-1855
Damaged tree limb blocking sidewalk access
I’ve noticed the incident of local people in town getting vitiligo seems to be going up. The occurrence in the general population is believed 22/100,000. I can count 8 people who have the condition and I know that I don’t know nearly half the population of Bloomington. So anecdotally that leads me to believe that it is possible that the occurrence in town is much higher than the general population. This of course piqued my curiosity. So I did some research as to the cause of vitiligo. Although there are many potential causes, one cause that stuck out to me is environmental exposure to phenol-containing chemicals. So I looked up what phenol chemicals are and used for. Although they are used for many industrial products, I learned that they are most often used to clean medical devices. https://www.chemicalsafetyfacts.org/chemicals/phenol/ This made me think about the cleaning facility that Cook medical has in Ellettsville. And made me wonder if there is a company in town that uses this type of cleaning agent (Cook or some other) that may be spreading into our environment and causing exposure risk to the general population. So my question is: has the health department recieved data about the prevalence of vitiligo in our community and if so is it elevated in comparison to national averages? And if so, will there be an action plan to reduce the exposure risks to our community?

The parking garages are said to be free after 5pm on Fridays, all day Saturday, and all day Sundays; however, I parked in there yesterday (Saturday) and had to pay when I left. The gates are still closed and red so i’m assuming the same will be for today.
Both Trades District Garage and 4th Street Garage charging do not work. Several business owners from out of town visited with their EVs and could not charge their vehicles while visiting downtown Bloomington. Our next meeting is in two weeks. Can you resolve this problem? I talked to EV Connect, and they stated there is nothing wrong with the hardware and the maintenance is a policy put in place by the City.
Hilton Remodel getting tiresome. This morning one of my co-workers had to drive over carpeting to get to his parking spot. We constantly have to avoid workers and forktrucks and debris everywhere. This has gone on for months. Also now there are garbage dumpsters overflowing that we have to walk past to get into our building. This is ridiculous. We pay for parking in this garage and have been tolerant but this is getting very tiresome. I've had to pick up large staples from beside and behing my vehicle at night to keep from getting flat tires. It's time something is done and especially now that there are numerous nasty dumpsters to walk past!
uReport Case #179576Thanks for looking into these issues. The carpet is gone, however the overflowing garbage dumpsters are still there and still overflowing. Why, after all these years that the Hilton has been there, have they now started to put their garbage dumpsters in the walking exit area? And they are always overflowing. They have never been there before until the last couple of weeks or so. They fall on the ground and come open and then we have to step around food stuff everywhere etc, it's nasty and gross. By the way, this complaint is actually for myself and others.
