Homeless encampment starting Not sure who’s land it is on
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.
After a lift station replacement there are potholes left from the work. The gravel in them is being washed away do to the rains. Please patch the hole. Thank you for all your hard work.
Lake Monroe jr is growing in this pothole is they could be addressed
Street has eroded on the side by the curb. If someone drives too close to that edge of the road, a tire could get caught in the trough.
There is part of a tree down in front of 4104 N. Rosewood. It is hovering over the side walk and I'm afraid it's going to fall on someone. Thank you.
Foliage and missing sidewalk that need to be addressed.
I am a new homeowner and I have a question or two! I have two large sugar gum trees in the front of my house on the strip of grass in between the sidewalk and street. I was told that these trees are the city’s property not mine. I am concerned because I have to trim some on the larger branches that overhang my roof and also the roots are bowing the sidewalk out and pushing up the concrete in my basement. If I wanted to service these trees myself do I need a permit or does the city handle these things?
Poison ivy growing from lawn is dangling over retaining wall into sidewalk. West sidewalk on Madison, just north of intersection with Smith. Some of the poison ivy is disguised by adjacent Virginia Creeper.
Tree adjacent to east sidewalk on Fairview (near intersection with Howe) is covered in poison ivy. The poison ivy is dangling over the sidewalk at face- and shin-height. I unfortunately realized this was poison ivy the hard way. The vines appear woody and hardy, its leaves are very large, and it seems to be fruiting. Please remove before someone else walking on the sidewalk brushes by it and has a serious reaction to contacting the plant.
