Hello, I cannot find a place on this website to enter a report of dead trees on public property. Please forward this to the right office: I'm concerned about dead trees that may be hazardous to cars or people, located in the forested public right-of-way (formally known as Davis St.) beside my house: at the dead end of the 1000 block of S. Ballantine. Can the city cut down some of these trees before they're blown onto cars or the street? Additionally, we have a huge dead tree between our house (1033 S. Ballantine) and the home behind us on Highland Ave. It abuts power lines, so I assume that this is either public property or a utility easement. I have tried (off and on) for a year to get Duke to remove it. No action. Can the city either remove this tree or persuade Duke to do so before it takes down all the wires that serve both Highland and Ballantine homes on this block? Thank you.

There is a metal post with a sign on the train tracks right at the intersection of Indiana Ave and 13th St that looks very frail. In the past wind advisory situations we have had in the city, anytime the wind hit the post, that post sounded as if the wind could dislodged it violently from the base and the sign at the top could fly off into near-by buildings, it even sounded horribly loud as the sign does not seem to be securely attached to the post. When that happened I called 9-1-1 to let them know and asked them to contact whoever is in charge of the tracks for them to look into that by securing that post. However, nothing happened. Tonight, with the tornado watch and the very strong winds we are having, it's the same situation with the post. Because of that, I called the Indiana Railroad Company's emergency number and they said they would email someone but that that would take some time and they were not sure they would get to it that night since they were also in tornado watch.

Mr. Strats called the Mayor's Office at approximately 10:45 a.m. on Tuesday, August 19, 1997 to express concern over his water being turned off. He had originally received a notice that his water bill was late, then showed proof of payment to Utilities. After doing so, Utilities informed him that he would be taken off the list, but his water at the Uptown Cafe (his business) water still turned off.

This is a follow-up on my complaint from 8/18, #173408, regarding the noise from the work on the tennis courts. The piercing truck backing-up noise went on late yesterday, possibly until around 8 pm. This morning it began at 6:40 am. Is this not a bit too early? Is 12-14 hours of this noise in a day not excessive? This noise has been going on all week. How much longer will it persist? Speaking with my neighbors, this noise is forcing us to risk covid and go into the office. Is there no way to turn down the volume on the warning beep? As bad as it is for me, I imagine this must cause some loss of hearing and sanity for the construction workers using the equipment.

Noise all day from the piercing beeping of the construction trucks on the tennis courts. Is there a volume control? Even with all my windows closed and the walls are insulated, I hear this beeping in my house over a block away. It makes it VERY difficult to concentrate and work from home! When will this project be done? This construction project is going to force me to go into to the office.

From Reddit Bloomington: Fiber cables damaging sewer lines We live right next to Bryan Park. About a week ago our toilet backed up, and after multiple visits from our (very honest and reasonable) plumber, we discovered that the city's fiber optic internet contractor had carelessly run an optic cable directly through our sewer line. This caused a ton of debris to get into our drain pipe and completely clog the pipe, necessitating a $10k repair. I called the city and apparently, this is happening to people all over town. (The person in the utilities office said I was the third person to call today with this exact problem, and our plumber said that this contractor got thrown out of Carmel for damaging so many sewer lines).

I just wanted to alert you to some defamatory, and possibly criminal, behavior demonstrated by the regional manager of Hunter Properties, one of the larger leasing companies in Bloomington. He's both personally insulting me after I pointed out the poor handling of a pool closure policy and threatening to put my IU teaching position in jeopardy because he doesn't like that I pointed out the office's mishandling of the matter to the office and online. As a housing office I would want to know about this happening in my city; thus, I'm alerting you. I'm happy to email the entire printed PDF since I know these files may not attach.
