Switchyard Brewing reports several attempts to reach city landscaping department requesting this area have sod laid. Business owner has attempted to repair himself with no luck. Stated it has been dirt since they opened, and requests city assistance.
This is in refercence to case number 169692. I failed to mention the blocked bike path was at Bryan Park, adjacent to the woodlawn shelter.
There is a section of 'street' between Dunn and Henderson that I believe was supposed to be a continuation of E Wilson Street. It is just a grass area that the city owns. However, the city is doing no maintenance on this piece of property. There is a dead pine tree that needs to be removed and a very large maple tree that is overgrown and threatening to drop branches onto cars. This tree also present a health issue in that there is a large poison ivy vine growing up the tree. I have tried calling the city forester multiple times without response. Can the one tree be removed, the other pruned and cleared of poison ivy, and the grass on this city land occasionally mowed?
We are the 1556 S. Andrew Circle, Bloomington residents. This dead tree belongs to the City and it happened to be located right in front of our house. It really hurts our neighborhood’s green environment. We are encouraged to notify the City in order to remove or replace this Dead Tree ASAP. We tried several calls within the last three weeks, but no one really knows where we need to report. Finally we were asked to contact Mr. LEE from your forest department. But He neither answer our phone call nor response to our messages. We are very upset with Lee’s irresponsible attitude. If this is not his responsibility, he needs to call us and let us know who will be the right person to call. His ignorance to residents’s request is not acceptable. We are forced to write this email and hope City will pay attention to it. There is no too small things can be ignored if City really takes its responsibility. Hope to hear from you soon. Otherwise, we have to contact Mayor’s office to get City’s attention. Thank you. Ning 415/3191619. Or nn8us@yahoo.com.
City Tree: I have previously spoken with the Director of the forestry dept in Park and Rec regarding this issue, but the issue has yet to be resolved. He said that the tree should be take care of at some point this Spring. I'm still hoping and waiting. The tree is a very large/tall dead Ash tree. The tree is a "City tree" along my property. The tree is very tall, is an Ash, and is dead. I would really hope that it would be taken down before it falls down and before it spreads many more emerald ash borers. The Tree is along West 12th Street at the corner of my property and the gravel alley the runs in the direction of W. 11th.
Today I took my little sister and nephew to free skate at the Frank Southern Ice Skating Arena. While our overall visit was pleasant, I am concerned about the number of adults on staff during the free skate. It seemed to be staffed mostly by highschoolers, who would let their peers who were very good skaters recklessly skate in and out of the less experienced skaters and small children. It seemed dangerous. While this didn't upset me too much, I made a point to say something directly to the kids doing it, as it seemed they were friends with the staff. Further the adult on duty today, a man at least 40, who was dressed in all blue, seemed to be the least mature of all. As I was helping my nephew take of his skates, and my little sister was sitting next to him taking off hers, he walked by at least 3 times to stare at my sister's chest. When he made his third pass I said "there's no need to stare sir" unsure if he heard me or not. After I said this, he did not make another pass, but instead went behind the concessions counter. While I know these claims are probably not verifiable, it deeply disturbed me, and I don't think I will take my little sister or nephew back to Frank Southern unless some staffing changes are made.
Two dead trees on property by road: Inquiring about responsibility: City or property owner: 208 Hillsdale Drive, corner of Hillsdale Drive and Hillsdale Court
The recently removed Wapahani lake has produced a new washout problem; and I’m also concerned that a similar problem is going to happen to the remaining lake of the old twin lakes of years past. I’m not sure why people think removing a large body of water is the best answer for alleviating water issues. Anyway, before I digress further. I know the city/county are well aware that something permanent will need to be done. My hopes are that a well thought out plan will be considered
The City of Bloomington removed a tree approximately three years ago at the corner of Lincoln and 7th St. We would like to know if the City can plant another tree in that mow strip along 7th Street where the City had removed the tree.
I am requesting information on city-wide events and classes.
