People have been camping in the shelter houses at 9th St. Park for several weeks, if not months. I've been reluctant to officially report it but over the last week it's become a bit more permanent. And also a bit unruly.

At East Thornton Drive and Covey Lane, there are several big old trees whose branches overhang Covey Lane, and the big branches are rotten and some have already fallen, but the limbs that hang over Covey Lane are dangerous to pedestrians walking their dogs and cars using Covey Lane. Can you please look into this and have the limbs and/or tree cut so that no one will get hurt or property damaged by falling limbs. Every time a hard rain comes or storm with light wind come, large limbs fall onto Covey Lane. Thank you.

• Methods used to detect lightning (Weather Apps, Specific Equipment such as lightning detectors, Payed services)
• If you have separate policies for different facilities. (i.e. Outdoor pools, Amphitheaters, Outdoor fields and Sports complexes)
Any information that you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached at jacob.johnson@cityofls.net or 816-969-1544.

Hello.
I am a regular user of the Bloomington Rail Trail. I love the trail, however, recently the trail was altered in a way that is dangerous and less than ideal for running, walking, and biking.
The original surface was recently disturbed with new material which was applied unevenly and makes it hazardous or impossible to run and bike on. I have seen several minor accidents and suspect more are occurring. I know several in the fitness community that are unhappy with the recent changes to the trail.
I would appreciate any info on why this change was made and if there are any plans to improve the situation.
Thank you!
Craig

The shrubbery along the west side of the trail around the Winslow sports complex needs to be pruned back especially in the area near the wooden bridge. It's growing halfway across the trail. The shrubbery near the south east corner of the trail might also benefit from some pruning.

This is about Sherwood Oaks park-(the link from the webpage for the park itself to Ureport is not working) not Elliston Drive-
The growth in the field in this park is getting REALLY tall and woody-is anyone going to come out with a bush hog and cut it all down? You have mowed more in the Goat Farm Park, and you have also cleared out all that brush in the woods between the two parks, so I hope that you plan on mowing in the Sherwood Oaks field soon-
Thank you-
Kim

One of the two infant swings is broken in Schmalz Farm Park. The broken swing is unsafe and has very sharp edges for little children. Hopefully the swing can be replaced before long.

City seems to be deleting and ignoring requests/complaints made through this forum.
Yesterday I came home to find one of my trees had been cut down by the city. It is a tree I purchased and planted 10 years ago. With no prior notice, or any explanation, it was cut down yesterday. I complained on this forum last night, ticket #165085 and it was assigned to Charles Brandt. I checked status this morning and the ticket seems to have disappeared. I can find no record of it. I also did not receive a response of any kind. Charles Brandt did not address my issue, respond to my issue, or try to resolve my issue.
City response to it's voting citizens, who the city works for, needs to be addressed. What happened to my original complaint?

I also did not receive a response of any kind. The tree was bought by me and no reimbursement has been offered for the city destroying my property. The original complaint was submitted properly, and assigned, and removed from the system without a response from the city. I demand an explanation and I will not be going away until this issue is resolved.

I own the Bicycle Garage on Kirkwood Ave next to People's Park. On June 8th the trees that are next to my property were trimmed and it seems a branch that is dead was not removed and is in a very precarious position above our back gate. This can fall at a moments notice. I have attached pictures.
