"Tree-Keeper" database reports 56 Ailanthus altissima ("tree of heaven") trees being maintained by the City. Given this is an invasive plant and is known to be the primary food source for Lycorma delicatula (spotted lanternfly), should the City be obliged to remove these trees that are listed on the State list: ("Prohibited Invasive Terrestrial Plants [312 IAC 18-3-25]", https://ag.purdue.edu/department/entm/iisc/invasive-plants.html) ? If HAND is going to proactively threaten residents by "asking" them to remove something that is not on the State list (e.g., bamboo), it seems profoundly hypocritical for them to not address a serious ecological issue that they are helping to advance.

Resident (or visitor) driving a silver Ford Edge (IN-214EKW, I think) turned left (west) onto 11th Street from Lincoln and sped down the entire block against the one-way posted direction to get to Washington Street. This short block has no sidewalks and visibility is difficult given the mature, evergreen conifers in the area. People and animals are often walking in the street and are not expecting a careless driver to travel in that direction. This is definitely not the street to drive down the wrong way. Please advise this person that rules are there for a reason, and unilaterally disregarding them due to perceived inconvenience is selfish and uncivil, in addition to being a traffic violation.

My neighbors have had bags of garbage collecting on their front porch for weeks, and now it has been dumped in their front yard. I’m fairly certain there’s a pile of bags in the back too.

See case #201536 (https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=201536). Apparently, Ms. Hayes has not had the opportunity to follow through with her promise, "I will continue to monitor", because the large, bed-like object remains at the rear (west side) of this property alongside the alley where is has been for at least a year. It has painted on it a cartoon head of a large, white rabbit sporting a bow-tie, accompanied by the words "Phi Tau".

The trash has been out there since before graduation and now appears to have been gone through by animals. This is terrible and I am afraid this attract rats amongst other things.
