We have a tree over looking our house that it’s dead. The limb is over the roof and I’ve asked multiple times to see if we could get this tree taken down or the branches.
Bushes need trimmed back from the road so that line of site is available from further away in both directions.
A large, tall tree that is about 20 feet due north of my property appears to be dead. The tree resides in Winslow Park If it falls it could likely hit my house. Would you please check the health of this tree and proceed as needed. Thanks.
The Sycamore Tree in the easement at the end of our drive is showing signs of possible insect damage and poor health. This is a big tree that could damage things if it or any part falls down. It would be great if the Bloomington City Forester could take a look at it.
There's a clump of poison ivy growing by the curb in the parking lot by the southern pickleball court.
Some questions about the white PVC pipe that drains into Sheridan Creek. It is supported by concrete chunks that have moved around over time and, I think, maybe the bank has eroded or pulled away. I have been visiting it for over 10 years and noticing the changes. One thing I first noticed were the bright orange (mulberry?) roots, so carrot orange that at first I thought they had to ne man-made cables. But: now I see earth has been moved around. Doesn't seem to be from flooding. Is it something Parks employees did? And I'm curious what drains into the creek (related to the manhole cover on the other side of the asphalt path. Thanks for your help and for your work maintaining and improving a Park i enjoy so much.
Maple tree next to a house with lots of rot at the base of tree and a tight codominant union. Should be assessed for safety.
Bottom of fence on north east corner of the court(s) curls up from the ground significantly creating an intermittent but substantial gap which allows sports equipment: balls etc. to escape the perimeter fence leading to frequent stoppages during games.
The grate on this tree is out of place and presents a tripping hazard as it is no longer flush with the sidewalk. I tried to push it back into place and couldn’t budge it. Please see it is readjusted.
