Re: After being denied a solution, I would like to clarify that this is CITY property. I do not understand how and why I should “contact the county regarding this” because the City of Bloomington owns this property. As an employee am I supposed to contact the County regarding issues at my workplace? No! That’s why I’m filling out this report. There is an invasive species on the CITY OF BLOOMINGTON’s property of which they have vowed to remove in recent initiatives. This is the responsibility of the city, not the county. I feel like you didn’t even actually read what I wrote and just looked at the address and said “NOPE! Not my responsibility” Bradford Pears (invasive species) located at Monroe Water Treatment Plant. The two trees are located at the discharge point of a surface drain. More importantly, the trees are located directly adjacent to the Hoosier National Forest, which is just a mere 50ft away (across Shady Side Dr). Currently, the trees are bearing fruit. It appears that these fruits' seeds have the opportunity to traverse the slope and end up in our watershed, tainting the Hoosier National Forest, as an invasive species. The trees should be removed ASAP, as part of the City's initiative to systematically remove Bradford Pear trees from public property. Given the proximity to the National Forest and in the confines of the Lake Monroe watershed, this is a priority site.

There is this huge pothole at the entrance of Hunter Ridge Apartments which is nearby college mall. Every time when we enter it became a bit dangerous as it is exactly in the middle of the entrance and the size of the pothole is increasing daily. Please do something about this. Thank you in advance.

1) Pot holes in alley in west side. Is this the city’s responsibility? 2) Newly paved 11th Street - parking allowed on north side of street, yet center line marks in wrong place. Needs corrected.

I almost hit a very young grey kitten (probably nursing age) while merging onto 69 south from 45/46 this morning at about 7:30. I'm not sure if the kitten was hit by a car as I was not able to stop. Concerned there are more in the area that could also end up on the interstate.

I moved out of this property in January due to unsafe living conditions. There was a cracked foundation and slumping overhang. Our former neighbors have since reported that no outdoor work was done to the home.

Someone moved a dead raccoon from the roadway to our yard, where it is currently decomposing. We are at 1300 E Hillside Drive, immediately east of the Hillside Church of Christ. The dead raccoon is currently under an ornamental tree in our front yard, on the west side of the lot, which is the side nearest the church's driveway. Can you please advise how we go about having this dead animal removed? Many thanks for any help. Darrin Dolehanty

The house appears to be abandoned and someone has broken open the front and rear doors. Someone has also broken the windshield of the abandoned car in the backyard. The accumulating trash suggests a squatter. The property needs a major cleanup and secure doors and windows.
