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.

Hi, First, thank you for removing the leaves from Park Ridge Park, the excellent park in the Park Ridge neighborhood, in April. Now, it seems like it is in need of a little bit of post-winter care. The areas where the leaves laid overwinter have become bare (see the picture). This is a spot that the Parks Department has worked hard trying to recover before and I suppose it is time work on it again. There are also other bare spots in the park where leaves had laid over winter (by the shelter - to the east) and for some unknown reason to the south of the swings. Could these areas please be addressed with grass seed and straw to make sure that park stays maintainable, that the structures don't end being compromised by erosion, and to make the park less of a mess after a rain? Also, the mulch covering the area underneath the playground structure may need refilled, in particular underneath the swings. Finally, is there a regular schedule under which these aspects of the park(s) get addressed? I am sure there are priorities and limited resources. We do not want to bother the department - if we knew that this maintenance would be done (based on a known schedule), then we would only have the thank yous to include instead of a thank you and a request. Thanks again.

There is a big piece of steel rebar sticking out of the sidewalk near the eastern entrance to 2427 E 2nd Street. It's become a safety issue for cars and pedestrian as many kids walk through there to get to the elementary school. Unsure if since it's an IU office if it's IU property? Thank you for investigating and potentially resolving.

Please help me Verify Alpha Books Solutions in the Philippines To whom this may concern, I am JoAnn Johnson currently residing in Florida. I am emailing to see if you could help me verify the business address of whom I am currently dealing with regards to promoting my book. I will have to spend decent amount of money on this endeavor with them and I don't have any problem paying for travel just to visit their physical office. Unfortunately, they discouraged me to visit their office for some reason. They want me to pay through check but to be sent out to a different address not listed as their mailing address on their website. These sort of inconsistencies triggered to me to do extra precaution. I am hoping to at least obtain verification from your respective office as a highly regarded organization. If I happen to inquire on a wrong place, please refer me to an office who’s authorized to address my concern. Their Business Name is Alpha Books Solutions or Alpha Books Solution. Their email signature and website has different names on it so I specified the two names for your reference. They said that they exist on the following address below.

Near corner of Woodlawn/Atwater: alley that exits onto Woodlawn between Subway/apartment bldg. and rental house is dangerous. Shrubs on corner of Subway/apartment bldg. completely block the line of sight for drivers pulling out of this alley onto Woodlawn. Nothing can be seen that is approaching from the north and heading south. Have to pull car partially into the roadway to see if anything is coming. This is a heavily used alley due to an IU parking lot, IU office building and student housing rentals whose parking can only be accessed through the alley. And the area, itself, is active. This is even more dangerous to pedestrians/bikes/scooters. We cannot see them approaching and THEY CANNOT SEE US, either. It was bound to happen sooner or later and could have ended in injury or death. Yesterday I almost hit a jogger who was heading south on the sidewalk as I was trying to pull out onto Woodlawn. I couldn’t see him approaching due to the shrubs. He also could not see me! The shrubs completely blocked his line of sight and he couldn’t see that a car was approaching. The city has known about this for at least two years and hasn’t done anything to address it. My colleagues and I have tried repeatedly to have this fixed. Three cases were found in my search, but I know that there are more because this has been ongoing for longer than two years. Case #161202, 9/18/17, second half of complaint reported this. The case was closed with no mention of it having been addressed. Case #164914, 6/21/18, and case #167848, 3/21/19, are both still open. With neither showing any update that this is being addressed. Why? How can this be left unattended for so long? A whole year for case #164914! At some point there is going to be a tragedy here and it’ll be on the city for not having addressed this after multiple hazard reports.

From Complainant Davon Patton: Hello, I contacted the NAACP about a retaliatory arrest for the Education Department and my accusations of police misconduct in 2018 and was advised to contact you once the dispute with the school was adjudicated. After doing some research on my claims the statute of limitations starts on the date of the occured action. For example; the statute of limitations on my false arrest claim began to accrue when i was arrested. The only claim that begins to accrue after the charges are dropped is malicious prosecution as one of the elements is a termination of a prosecution in my favor. I am preparing to file a suit pro se while my claims are still fresh but would like assistance finding a pro bono or contingency based lawyer and a statement from the NAACP in support of the lawsuit. My claims are as follows: 1. Free speech retaliation (Denying my petition for reinstatement in March 2018 was out of Retaliation for whistleblowing and accusations of discrimination and police misconduct) 2. Violations of Title IV of the Civil rights act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation act of 1974(Denying my petition in March 2018 was discriminatory) 3. Spoliation of Evidence(The IUPD omitted exonerating evidence from discovery) 4. Perjury (The IUPD committed perjury by including false statements in a probable cause affidavit and showed reckless disregard for the truth) 5. Defamation (The IUPD and university officials defamed me of my character by lying about the emails to the department of education and by filing false charges against me) 6. False Arrest (The University had me arrested on a false arrest warrant alleging intimidation for sending the provost a Kanye West Song) 7. Retaliatory arrest (I was arrested in June of 2018 for engaging in free speech and federal protected activities) 8. Retaliatory prosecution (I am being prosecuted out of retaliation for free speech and engaging in federal protected activities 9. Vindictive Prosecution (I was arrested and prosecuted because of racial animus). 10. Intentional Inflection of emotion distress 11. Abuse of Legal Process (I was prosecuted for illegal motives) 12. obstructing a pending proceeding before Congress or a federal administrative agency(I was arrested out of retaliation for the department of education) 13. conspiracy to injure using unlawful means(school has letter from therapist talking about how I’ve recovered from the trauma of being wrongfully arrested in 2016 University again wrongfully arrests and prosecutes me in 2018) Claims waiting to be filed: 1. (Malicious prosecution will be amended to complaint once charges are dropped at the time of this complaint my lawyer is getting ready to file a motion to dismiss on multiple grounds) 2. I am still researching other possible claims A refresher on my story can be found here local groups such as the Bloomington DSA, YDSA Bloomington, and Btown Antifa have shared the story aswell: https://bloomingtonsolidaritynetwork.tumblr.com/post/176958755178/who-will-survive-in-america Those CC'd are those who you had CC'd in an earlier email to me, Vauxx Booker, and Kevin Brown an IU professor who is suing the IMPD.
