Potholes, Other Street Repair:

Other: The ditch between my driveway and the adjoining driveway is clogged with dirt and debris that I want removed. I can do it, but I don't want to encroach on a neighbor's land or the City of Bloomington land without permission. the ditch is not on the pavement but may lie within the City's right-of-way, and I may need your permission or guidance to clear the drainage ditch and empty the culvert underneath my driveway. Is University Street an easement or a fee title? We also have a dead ash tree a yard from the pavement on the lot line, probably due to the Asian emerald ash borer, an invasive pest, and I have other live ash trees that I would protect. What are the rules for removing the hazard tree?

Mr. HOekstra Can you please provide me your address as I do not see it in the uReport. I will be able to determine if the drainage ditch is private or owned and maintained by the City of Bloomington Utilities. If we own the ditch, we can have a team come and look. As far as trees are concerned I would call Parks and Rec. (812) 349-3716. That is Haskell Smith, Urban Forester. I'm not positive if you should talk to him or someone in Planning and Transportation, but he will know exactly who you should chat with about hazard trees.
