Someone has hacked your parks system and is sending phishing emails using your government email. I have attached a screenshot of an email I received from your .gov Please have your IT people look into this. It can potentially cause big issues for your constituents and others.
A large portion of Pin oak on the west side of our home that is on city property just came down. We believe the rest of the tree is a hazard. Please contact me soon to assess the situation.
Weeds in the medium in mulch area.
We were at Upper Cascades Park with our daughter, and we saw a syringe on the playground.
I think it’s unacceptable that well behaved dogs aren’t allowed at a park. And that it’s only if certain people are at the field because I’ve definitely brought my dog here before without any issues. And then to be kicked out and have to sit in the car with the dog for over 8 hours because we came for a softball tournament is outrageous. It would be one thing if my dog was misbehaving but we hadn’t even sat down yet. No dogs allowed has and always will be a stupid rule in outdoor public places. There are stores that allow dogs now let’s get with the program and change it to well behaved dogs allowed. And let’s give a person at least an hour to figure out what to do with the dog. Luckily, I came with my boyfriend today so my dog will not be suffocating in the car alone.
Has the city issued a tree removal permit for taking down a tree on the East side of Rogers Street just south of intersection at Patterson Drive at driveway next to Southern Stone and Fiest restaurants?
In Southeast Park the water at the two fountain has not been turned on. Is there a reason or just an oversight? The dog is really disappointed.
Likely poison Hemlock growing in library garden beds.
The lesser celandine (an invasive plant species) is almost in full bloom along the southern end of the Bloomington B Line Trail. It extends the width of about 3 lots along the trail. I thought it would be good to report since it's spreading quite rapidly. It used to only be around the wooden stairs that the neighbor installed on Bloomington Parks property (see photo). Also there is Japanese Knotweed in the area that is currently a small patch, but can spread quickly. The knotweed has not yet emerged from the ground.
There is an older fellow who consistently comes to the park on a bike with his dog and plays loud, very explicit music on a Bluetooth speaker. I wouldn't really have an issue if there weren't so many kids around that don't need to hear that music aloud. He should wear headphones like everyone else. To give a physical description for better identification, he has long, somewhat greying hair and looks to be in his mid to late 40s. He always wears a backwards baseball cap, sunglasses, a t-shirt, and shorts. The dog is a small to mid size breed, mostly grey with some brown and white spotting. He frequents the tables outside the two dog parks but never actually enters the large or small dog parks. I believe this qualifies as being a public disturbance/nuisance and enough people seem bothered by it that it seems like someone with authority should take action to get him to cease.
