Citizen called about tree across the street from her residence. Tree is enormous by her standards and a potential hazard for a single family rental adjacent to tree. By her summation the tree is a "when it falls" as opposed to an "if it falls." Can we, should we do anything?
Compost (right of driveway) not covered, drawing rats. Weeds growing all over property esp. right of driveway.
Open compost bin. Dumping garbage in open bin. Wood crate south of driveway.
Excessive growth. North of driveway and south of driveway, not the garden area, yard.
The landowner at this address has installed DIY compost collection system of structures in the city ROW adjacent to the property. The compost is poorly managed with anaerobic odors detectable 1/2 block away. In addition the area is immediately adjascent to a city storm drain such that nutrient runnoff from the compost is a major immediate concern. They also have allowed the invasive, noxious weed Johnson grass to grow up in the city ROW areas nearby as well as elsewhere on their property.
Excessive growth both yards to north and south of their driveway. Excessive growth hangs out in roadway. Compost bin south of driveway is not covered or enclosed. Rats!
There are homeless encampments steadily increasing in number behind my house and those of my neighbors. There are now several in view of my windows. The amount of trash is staggering, including countless hypodermic needles. Trash is regularly set on fire by the residents of the encampments, producing noxious smoke that smells terrible and is surely not safe to breathe. The city needs to do something about these encampments. Open air drug use within feet of neighborhoods with young children should not be tolerated. I've been a resident of Bloomington for a decade and I'm strongly considering moving out of town due to the city's inability to address this issue. Please do something.
