1122 S Henderson St
- Case Date:
- 7/21/2024
A large branch broke on the tree in the front yard of 1121 S Henderson. It’s about 30’ long and pretty big. It’s just barely hanging on. If it falls, it will most likely land in the sidewalk and could easily hurt or kill someone. This fell 3 weeks ago during the storm. I understand the tree folks are busy, but that has mostly slowed down. I even saw a truck stop and offer to remove it…
I used this form because I didn’t see an option that made sense for this type of report.

Following up on case #189419. The truck is still there and has been for over a year. There has been no work on the property in over 2 weeks, power has been disconnected, and the backyard is filled with trees from the recent storm. Is it possible at all to have the eye-searingly yellow truck with the phallic graffiti removed?

Multiple unhoused people are beginning to gather behind the residential dumpster and by the mail boxes. They hang out for awhile and then it evolves into them setting up camps and tarps, etc. often results in disturbances in the early morning hours. This is not the first time this has happened. Drug use and evidence of drug use was found. Do not want criminal charges or anything, just for them to not set up In our backyard.

There is a downed tree ( a very large limb from a tree) and what appears to be an abandoned car at the deadend of Thornton and Troy Ct. The car has been there much longer than the downed tree limb. I am unsure if the tree is from private property or city owned property but has been down since the bad storm from the end of June....there is also a large section of fence that is down. If this is private property, I am unsure how to get ahold of the owners.

I submitted uReport Case #191361 for debris pickup at my property at 2625 E Edwards Row. The debris has not been picked up and I can no longer see this case number in the system. Can you please confirm that I'm still in the queue for pickup? Do you know around when I can expect the debris to be picked up?
Thanks!

My neighbor at address 2131 S Bent Tree Drive just reported two dead trees on City property that are leaning towards both of our houses. Within the past 10 mins, another dead tree just split in half and half of it fell against other trees leaning towards our homes. Please please would the City come quickly and assess/remove these trees before they fall on our homes. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. Lark Hatfield 812-320-1855

I’ve noticed the incident of local people in town getting vitiligo seems to be going up. The occurrence in the general population is believed 22/100,000. I can count 8 people who have the condition and I know that I don’t know nearly half the population of Bloomington. So anecdotally that leads me to believe that it is possible that the occurrence in town is much higher than the general population. This of course piqued my curiosity. So I did some research as to the cause of vitiligo. Although there are many potential causes, one cause that stuck out to me is environmental exposure to phenol-containing chemicals. So I looked up what phenol chemicals are and used for. Although they are used for many industrial products, I learned that they are most often used to clean medical devices. https://www.chemicalsafetyfacts.org/chemicals/phenol/
This made me think about the cleaning facility that Cook medical has in Ellettsville. And made me wonder if there is a company in town that uses this type of cleaning agent (Cook or some other) that may be spreading into our environment and causing exposure risk to the general population.
So my question is: has the health department recieved data about the prevalence of vitiligo in our community and if so is it elevated in comparison to national averages? And if so, will there be an action plan to reduce the exposure risks to our community?

Large tree limb from recent storms. Cut it up in manageable pieces, but too large for our yard waste. I piled it up behind our blue barn next to alley.
