Report from Mr. Dennis Mayfield that on Friday, June 13, he saw about an acre-and-a-half of what he thinks is hemlock at/near the intersection of N. State Rd. 37 Business and Old State Rd. 37. This seems to be just on the edge of city limits. Submitted a report to indot4u.com as well on behalf of Mr. Mayfield.
Dead limbs piled beneath the 9th St sycamore tree need removal. They've been there for weeks, if not months. This is my 2nd report of this issue.

My property at [address] flooded again on June 18, 2025, continuing a long-standing pattern of stormwater failures. This area lies within FEMA Zone AE. I have lost two vehicles to flooding and continue to suffer property damage and personal risk due to repeated flood events. The creek that repeatedly overflows lies just off my property line, meaning I have no ability to access, maintain, or control the waterway that causes these floods. Despite this, my home bears the damage. City crews have occasionally cleared culverts, but no long-term mitigation appears to have been performed. This remains a clear public hazard. I am formally requesting inspection and corrective action by the City under Title 13 of the Bloomington Municipal Code, which mandates maintenance, inspection, and prevention of stormwater harm. I have also contacted FEMA Region V to report this issue and request federal documentation. Attached to this report is one photo showing flooding on my property during the June 18, 2025 event, after I had to relocate my vehicle to prevent further damage. A parcel map showing the property location in relation to the adjacent creek is also available upon request. I ask that you please confirm this report is logged and provide a response or timeline for action.
This is the second time this year that my house has been flooded because of the inadequate city storm water drainage at the corner of Overhill dr and East 8th Street. It happened on April 4th and on June 18th. I'm not sure if the city had someone come and cleaned up after storm on April 4th, but my handyman told me that he had to remove a bunch of rocks from the drainage. I really believe that the storm water drainage is too small. Even if we clean it up, it still doesn't function properly. The storm water from the city's drainage backed up to my driveway and flooded the entire basement floor. It has happened many times, but the problem is getting worse throughout the years. I had to spend thousands to remodel my house due to the flood damages.
I own the law firm at the corner of 4th St. and Walnut Street. My parking lot access is from the alley on 4th street. The city allows street parking on 4th street up to the entrance of the alleyway. When pulling out of the alley, it makes it impossible to see if traffic is heading east on 4th street when there are cars parked in the spots next to the alley. A space or two needs to be removed so that people can safely pull out of the alley to turn left without getting hit by oncoming traffic.
No parking zone blocked by weeds and foliage
There is an abandoned red Toyota Prius full of junk in a parking lot with flat tires. It’s been there for months and is attracting unhoused people rummaging through the car.
