We live at 806 W. 4th St., in Bloomington. Today, Tuesday, July 10 was our normal trash pick-up day, and also the day for yard waste pickup, according to Bloomington Sanitation's "yard waste collection schedule." We have two 35 gallon bins filled with yard waste waiting at the curb in front of our house. They are properly packaged, and under the 40 pound limit. While our garbage and recycle bins were collected, these yard waste bins were ignored, (although they have been collected on past dates) No note was left by the Sanitation Dept. workers. We appreciate this service, and don't mind the collection fee, but we were missed today.

To Whom It May Concern! I wanted to say thank you to the Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department for trimming the low hanging branches on the two very large Oak trees near the entrance to Mills Pool off of Blair Ave. They not only look amazing, but its so much easier to access the park area under and around the trees when walking my dog. I know its much easier for the pool customers to use the sidewalk as well as get to their cars when parked along the curb on the exit of the main parking area. So, thank you. I'm asking and suggesting that the same tree limb pruning be done on the four very large Oak trees on the south end of the park area on the corner of Blair and Dyer. I, as a homeowner on Blair Ave. along with other residents use this area to walk our dogs and other outdoor activities. These branches are a hindrance to not only our enjoyment of the area, but to the city employee's who mow the park area. I've watched them navigate the low hanging branches so they don't get hit in the face and have to bend all the way over so their head is near their feet on the mower pedals just to mow the area. This seems very dangerous for them and I'm concerned for their safety as well as the overall ease of use for the area. Would you please consider pruning those limbs up just as you had done on the two trees to the north of the property. If you can do this and possibly while your at it, there is a very large yew right in front of the pool that had 3/4 of it removed last year. It's now a 1/4 of a living yew with nothing but weeds growing around it because it can't be mowed. This seems not only unsightly to the overall ambiance of the area, but really just dosen't look that good making the approach to Mills Pool rather uninviting. I did leave a voicemail with the Natural Resources Coordinator regarding this issue and had not heard anything. It's possible a plan is in place and I mention this so you can coordinate with that department. Once again, thank you for taking care of the two trees on the north end. They are truly majestic and make our community park and pool look magnificent. Gratefully! Mike Stribling mikestribling@hotmail.com 812-964-0846

A tree fell on power lines next to Willows Apartments. It must've happened during the last storm. It's been several days and no one has done anything, so I wanted to make sure the City knew about it. Potentially hazardous, also blocks sight when pulling out of the Willows Apartments.

I called over 30 days ago to notify you the city owned trees between our property and the street are blocking the line of sight getting out of our driveway. Since that phone call, there have been 3 near-misses by vehicles I could not see. Our address is 4000 S Jamie Lane. This needs to be taken care of ASAP. Thank you, Kathy Carter
