Just want to give a shoutout to the whole parks department on the excellent work with the new south shore trail. Fantastic connection and lots of fun to run tonight. Thanks for all your hard work.
water is not running right. barely any flow
called into city hall - K.Cummings, AHA inputting this issue -- John stated that he has called several times regarding this issue - there are two storm drains, one directly in front of his residence and another that is across the street that are in need of repair. John advised that the grates are too low, causing them to consistently get debris on them, causing flooding.
Property manager does not maintain sidewalk clearance. Passersby have removed obstructive invasive branches which remain piled in the yard. The tree in the photo has multiple invasive weeds that need to be removed as well as the tree trimmed back from the sidewalk. There is another tree north of this location that is in similar condition. I personally brought this to the attention of the property manager with no response. Hence turning to uReport. Thanks.
Hello. I recently read that many cities (more than in the past) only are planting male trees as less fruit than female trees for cleanup. Something along those lines. Anyways in short the male trees (from what I have read) are wind-blown pollen versus insect-transmitted for female. Short of it, is that all male trees is causing a big increase in suffering among those such as myself with tree pollen allergies. So please do more fruit trees/female trees. Plus fruit/food producing trees are just so much more awesome for a community. Apparently it's called botanical sexism amongst urban planners and it is increasingly recognized as a big problem. We NEED more female trees to remove pollen from the air; I could hardly breathe today. Thank you for considering diversifying the sex of Bloomington trees. I am hopeful we already are focusing on mixed or exclusively female trees and not falling into the trap of botanical sexism of male only.
There are two loose dogs in our neighborhood. They are not aggressive- but have berm running loose for at least a day. We think they might belong to one of the homeless folks. One is a light gray Pitt mix and the other is a black and tan mix.
Hearing animal activity in attic- scraping, digging, tearing insulation. Not sure what animal(s) are up there. We need some guidance. Thanks.

Unrestrained dog. Sherwood Oaks park. Seen today at ~11am, but also several other days, mid-morning or late-morning. Dog is small, brown, wearing a harness. Owner is short, middle-aged white female. Dog runs around, near people, but stays within vocal range of owner. Dog responds fairly well to owner's commands, but of course you never know what will set a dog off.
