Not anything you can do now, but this is probably NOT the species indicated on the plaque. The flowers look more like a red horse chestnut, a hybrid

This water fountain next to Kroger on the bike bath is too close to this tree to be accessible, especially for a wheelchair to get to the water bottle fill side of the fountain. I can see this only being a larger access issue as the tree grows. The water bottle side would allow a user with one available hand to use the fountain, whereas the drinking sides need one hand to hold the bottle and one to push the button.
Was out at the Switchyard Skatepark until around 9pm. The lights for the rest of the park and the trails had been on for 20-30 minutes at least, skatepark lights never came on. They might've been turned off for the maintenance week a few weeks ago and forgotten to be turned back on perhaps?
Good morning! Can someone turn the water on at the switchyard dog park? The one inside the gate isn't on and there isn't a hose like there was previously. Thanks!
Is the paved trail in Rev Earnest D Butler Park supposed to be wheelchair accessible? There's quite a few issues with broken pavement I'd like to report. Even for an able bodied user of the park, this particular section of trail is dangerous.
The eastern set of lights on the south set of tennis courts went out with a burst of sparks from one of the boxes on the north of the two light poles. The lights had been on for about 30 min when this happened. No people or animals were near the pole when it happened.
Winslow rec baseball was not held tonight due to field conditions- All others leagues around Bloomington, Ellettsville, and Smithville are on tonight! The fields At Ellettsville and Smithville are ran by volunteers to get the fields ready. Winslow has a city maintenance behind them and can not get them ready! This is disheartening for baseball players in Bloomington! Why can’t this problem be fixed? On field 4 has not been available to play on all week.

Olcott Park behind Jackson Creek middle has a very large pothole at the circle drive by the playground that needs filled in immediately. This hole has the potential to damage vehicle tires and wheels.
Please fix the light timer at the Bryan Park Tennis court. The sign states the lighting will go off automatically at 1030 pm. This is not happening. The lighting has remained on past that until at least midnight. It is a very bright light adding to the light pollution in town. Thank you. V/r, Mark
