Excessive trash, requires immediate attention
Excessive trash, requires immediate attention
IU students are returning which will put even more pressure on the RCA pickleball courts. There are six permanent courts there (one with broken net) The Bloomington Pickleball Club has offered to put temporary lines on the tennis courts to add 6 more courts. There are a number of temp chalk and paint products out there that will do the trick short term. The lines will not affect the ability to play tennis (though no one really plays tennis here) The BPC has temp nets we can put out at least on weekends to help with the crowds. I suggest the city also adopt some court rules for how the courts get shared when there is a large crowd. Let’s get ahead of this before it becomes a bigger problem in a few weeks!
The net on court 2 of the pickleball courts is damaged and unusable. Looks like a pretty easy fix.
Street light out
I'm not sure this is encroachment on the Rail Trail but it's fairly close. This is about .5 mile south of Tapp Rd.
The B-Line trail section from 1st Street to 4th Street is deteriorating because tree roots are breaking the pavement. It needs to be resurfaced.
We've had a problem with invasive Tree of Heaven ever since the city came a couple years ago to clear the overgrowth in the "alley" space at the northwest corner of the property. Since then, the overgrowth has of course returned, but it's now more aggressive, with the inclusion of Tree of Heaven, which is spreading to the rest of the property. It might be a good idea to clear that overgrowth again. Perhaps there are other preventative measures that can be taken.
Trash can has been left out front of house for 2-3 weeks. Elkins has been notified over a week ago.
Weeds growing across the sidewalk path
Management of Southcrest estates is deliberately adding antifreeze to containers of water in the trailer park with the intent of murdering the local cats and dogs that reside there regardless if they are chipped or collared. Please look into this issue as soon as possible, a neighborhood cat has already died and was found with antifreeze dripping out of its mouth and it was disposed of by management subsequently by being thrown into a dumpster. This is a hazard and risk to all humans and animals exposed to these toxic chemicals. Especially small children that may hold or interact with affected animals.
