Attention to Southeast Park and facilities. We have lived in this neighborhood for close to 20 years and the upkeep of the playground is not being handled like in the past. There are weeds and thistle all over the playground area and no new mulch added. It is an eye sore and not a great environment for the kids to play. If someone could get a handle on the weeds and clean it up a bit it would be nice. We also play tennis and I have reported before that there needs to be a seasonal blow around the edges of the inside of the courts. The pine tree droppings are such a mess and attach to the balls and an annoyance to play. The droppings with acidic state also start "eating" away at the court. If someone could address and blow the courts it would be appreciated.
Toilets/bathrooms need emptied (and cleaned if possible). They are almost overflowing.
An active hornets nest is in a tree hanging directly over the eastbound walking/cycling path on Sheridan Dr. near Bryan Park. It’s on a lower branch that hangs over the path, and it’s perfectly positioned to cause stings on the head/face. We unfortunately found that out the hard way.
I am afraid of this park due to drugs, sleeping people and drinking. It sure sets a bad example for Bloomington as a friendly town.
The pine tree on Sheridan Dr. just east of Manor Road was marked for removal on May 5, 2025. I thought it would be removed within 60 days, yet it is still (barely) standing and leaning heavily. This tree continues to be a significant hazard. Is there anyone who has this scheduled for removal yet? Or was it forgotten about?
A whole patch of highly invasive Tree of Heaven saplings have sprouted along the B-Line trail just noth of Dodds.
There are a couple of trees blocking the Griffy Creek trail. They are located on the main trail that follows the creek just after the trail makes a sharp left turn. I came from Lanam Road and crossed the creek and started walking up the creek when I came across this blockage. There may or may not be other blockages on the trail. A good job was done removing downed trees on the Lanam Road trail by the way. Thanks!
Received from a Resident in Van Buren Township. I live off Sims lane and have a question? When you try to get out onto Leonard Springs off of Sims there are a bunch of weeds / shrubbery/ trees that totally block the view to the South. So you have to inch out and hope to not get hit in the meantime. And with the way people fly over that hill south of Sims, it can be dangerous. So my question is how can we get those trimmed? It is practically on the road, so not sure if it’s the county or homeowner? I don’t want to cause any problems but also don’t want there to be an accident there. Sims lane traffic plus the Heatherwood traffic makes for a busy intersection. I’ve lived there for 30yrs and this is the worst I’ve seen those weeds / shrubs, whatever it is. Any help would be appreciated!
