Overgrowth of invasives along the sidewalk bordering the electric substation at Rogers and 11th.
Vegetation growing at edge of street through sidewalk all along Fairview side of Butler Park. Area of park around culvert near Fairview is choked with bindweed, Johnson Grass and more.
Tree branches overhang 9th St. sidewalk at Butler Park hanging lower than five feet--impassable without ducking or leaving sidewalk--very difficult for elderly pedestrians. Hard to understand why the city is issuing citations for minor aesthetic violations when their own property has significant issues with accessibility, unmowed grass, and poison ivy next to walkways. Come on, Bloomington. Stop empowering harassment and instead prioritize violations that actually impede safety and access.
Grass growing through sidewalk on Maple St. side of property.
Overgrowth and trees on this property encroach significantly on the sidewalk making pedestrian access difficult. In addition, the property is overrun with highly invasive plants, including tree of heaven, multiflora rose, and many others.
Tree on property is growing out across sidewalk at a height well below 8 feet, impeding pedestrian access.

While visiting Bryan Park on 8/9, I observed mowing with a gas engine lawn mower of grass already at a very low height. Greenhouse gas emissions are a concern from unnecessary mowing, and the area being mowed was very large. For a city with a sustainability office, one would expect either the use of electric lawn equipment and/or mowing only when necessary. Please consider training staff to mow using environmentally friendly practices.
Wednesday, August 9 The catch basin on the west side of the street just north of where the Indiana Rail Road crosses Pete Ellis Drive seems to be plugged somewhere underneath the road. Debris doesn’t pile up on the grate the way it used to, and the large puddle I observed after this afternoon’s thunderstorm was draining only slowly. Again, an accumulation of debris was not the problem. approximate address: 451 N Pete Ellis Dr, Bloomington, IN 47408, USA
