I am an Adopt a Storm Drain volunteer for Queensway from High to Montclair and Sussex Dr. I have cleared leaves from drains numerous times this fall. I have cleared the drain at the SW corner of Queensway and Chelsey Ct several times this fall including raking leaves of Queensway for about four houses west of the drain onto the city easement. Today December 15, 2021 I cleared the drains because of an approaching rain event. The property owner nearest the drain on the south side of Queensway has raked not only the leaves that I had raked onto the easement last week but their entire yard into Queensway, blocking the drain completely. I suspect they will once again rake them into the street. This is one of the stormwater lines/creeks that results in flooding south along Rock Creek. Can the city take action and remove the leaves?

The leaf collection crew left a rake in our yard. It is leaning against our mailbox at 933 S Meadowbrook Dr. Please have them pick it up. Thanks.

For many years we have been putting out yard waste bags for pickup on designated. Never was there a problem. That is, until about six weeks ago. The excuse given was that the materials were against the house. That was not true. This Wednesday, today, we put two yard waste bags put placing them in front of our recycling and trash bins. They are (present tense because the bags were not taken) clearly visible. In fact, the recycling personnel had to reach around the waste bags to retrieve the bin to empty. Why the awful service the past few weeks?? Our adjacent neighbor, who is caring for an ailing spouse, did not have hers picked up either. Granted hers is not totally visible. But it is in a spot where their bags usually have been placed. Please resume the fine service you offered until six weeks ago.

Fall leaves and the tree seed that falls with the leaves can be used to reforest idle land, no mow zones, and natural areas in Bloomington Parks, other city properties and private properties. This idea can help both the city and private home owners to make a positive use of Fall leaves to complete the urban forest canopy. Mixtures of tree seed and leaves spread in layers on land will produce dense stands of native trees. Please forward this idea to Joanna Sparks, Haskell Smith, Gillian Field, Beth Cote. I am willing to meet with them to discuss the details of how to use Fall leaves and tree seed to expand the urban forest in Bloomington. Thank you, Ray Major Forester Trees From Seed on Facebook

Graywell got our leaf pickup on Nov. 5, well before many of our leaves had fallen. Will there perhaps be a later, followup sweep for those of us who were caught with our leaves up in the air?
