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 is a massive trench across the full width of N Oolitic Drive. It has gotten terrible and I fear is a safety risk. It has been there since at least August 2023.

Debris Removal (Sand, General Street Debris)

Can the south side of Fields Drive/South Fenbrook Lane be cleared of the natural debris in the road’s gutter? This debris continues in the road gutter all the way eastward to South Smith Road. This area was bush-hogged by the City earlier this month, leaving leaves, twigs, dirt and cut branches in the gutter. During a recent heavy rain this caused drainage problems as water runoff toward the storm sewer drain was blocked. Thank you.
