Hello, during the storms on the night of April 27, the top of a tree in my yard blew out and partially onto my street. I was able to trim the edges of the branches to help clear the street, but the debris is still along the street. Would it be possible for you to send someone to remove the tree debris? Thank you.
Third Street underneath the B-Line Trail bridge. Kirkwood and Dunn. Indiana Avenue between Kirkwood and 7th. The three-way intersection of E Moores Pike, S Sare, and College Mall Rd. 7th St by the IMU. The IU campus around Ballantine. Dozens of alleyways and backyards. What do all of these places have in common? Flooding. They flood when it storms. I don't mean when it rains a bit, and I'm not talking about those rare events when it rains for days and we have unanticipated flooding (like in 2019 and 2021). I mean when it storms and we get heavy rain. Dozens of places in Bloomington become impassable. These areas have flooded out for years - ESPECIALLY that part of Third Street under the B-Line bridge. That seems to flood whenever we get more than just a drizzle of rain. And it's right next to that construction for the shiny new skyline bridge and convention center add-on. I recognize that drawing in additional funding through the use of the convention center is appealing for the city. That said, it's always amazed me how the city seems to focus on construction projects while completely disregarding the abysmal state of the stormwater drainage/runoff system in various parts of town. It's not like this is a new issue. I can only imagine how frustrating it will be for those visiting town to visit the convention center, only to get stuck there because the street right next to it flooded out. Again. I know it would be a massive undertaking, both in terms of cost and time. I won't pretend to know the ins-and-outs of infrastructure design and improvement. All I know is that I have to plan an alternate route to get through town whenever it rains enough, and it's happened enough that I know which parts of town to avoid.

The bit of sidewalk across the alley is made of bricks that are at a significantly lower level than the surrounding sidewalk and therefore is a tripping hazard. Because it's in front of an alley, I suppose it's the city's responsibility to upgrade the bit to something safer, like has been done on the opposite side of the street.
Between 925 and 927 W Jackson, there's a sidewalk across the alley that's made of asphalt or something. It's down at a different level from the surrounding sidewalk and is a tripping hazard. Because it's across the alley, it's the city's responsibility to repair.
There is trash behind the house, in the parking area--some in trash containers that are open and some laying on the other side of the parking area--those opened trash bags are covered in weeds and have been there for several weeks and the flys are breeding. This is an on-going and regular problem with this location. I have also seen rats in the front yard.
Between 811 and 815 N Jackson, the sidewalk across the alley is . . . gone?? There's just a grassy gap there now. It's surely the city's responsibility to replace it since it across the alley.
