Similar to the previous case #193719, the new fiber optic cables that were installed have created speed humps along the Bline trail between Dodds and 1st. I've seen that this is to be repaired already, but I want to add another complaint point to ensure visibility. Additionally, south of the trail tree roots have begun to surface creating large bumps/uneven terrain closer to Dodds St. The roots were attempted to be repaired with crack sealer, but the bumps still exist.

I am writing to bring your attention to a serious safety concern at the entrance of the Winslow Sports Park in Bloomington, Indiana, specifically the lack of a sidewalk and clear crosswalk on Highland Avenue. As a concerned resident and frequent park user, I would like to request immediate action to address this issue to prevent potential accidents and injuries. On [date], I had two close encounters where I almost got hit by cars speeding into the park and not paying attention to pedestrians. This alarming situation made me realize the imminent danger that exists for both pedestrians and drivers. Given that the park is designed to promote pedestrian activity, it is essential to create a safe and accessible environment for all users, especially considering the large neighborhood across the street. I kindly request the following actions to be taken as soon as possible: 1. Construction of a Sidewalk: I urge you to install a sidewalk along Highland Avenue leading up to the entrance of Winslow Sports Park. This would provide a designated path for pedestrians and separate them from vehicular traffic, ensuring their safety. 2. Installation of a Clear Crosswalk: It is imperative to establish a clearly marked crosswalk at the park entrance, complete with visible signage and pedestrian indicators. This would serve as a visual cue for drivers to yield to pedestrians and encourage safer crossing. By addressing these concerns promptly, we can prevent any potential accidents and injuries that may arise from the current hazardous situation. Moreover, enhancing the accessibility and safety of the park would further encourage pedestrian engagement and contribute to the overall well-being of our community. I kindly request that you consider the urgency of this matter and allocate the necessary resources to implement these changes. I am also willing to collaborate with the appropriate departments or community organizations to help facilitate the process and ensure a successful outcome. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I believe that with your support, we can create a safer environment for all park users and foster a greater sense of community. I look forward to hearing from you soon regarding the proposed course of action.

The bug maple city tree in front of our house on S Washington (near the corner of Dodds) has a carpenter ant infestation at the base of the trunk. If treated immediately I think the tree can still be saved. Will the city do this? If not, may I do so? We don’t want to lose this beautiful tree.

Hello - Following up to my prior report of an infestation to the city tree in front of our property at 724 S. Washington under uReport Case #202945, I received a message that Haskell Smith would come by to look at it, but the ticket was then closed so I've no way to further communicate with Haskell. I understand that Carpenter ants are opportunistic, but they can make things worse. I am still seeing lots of them around the base of the tree and the typical "saw dust" around the area to indicate some sort of boring insect infestation happening. Has anything been done to mitigate? I am hoping something can be done to save the tree before it gets out of control. I would contact an arborist, but since it is a city tree I assume it should be handled by the city.

Tree limbs block the sight of the stop signs on BOTH sides of eastbound E 11th Street at N Park Ave from a distance. The signs are not visible until a moving vehicle is at them, which poses a hazard.
