Hello, I was passing by the Fields Apartment complex, all around Clarizz, Fenbrooke, I need to check the exact streets. All of their trees lining the sidewalk and street are improperly mulched with root suffocating “mulch volcanoes.” I’ll pass by there again today or tomorrow and send exact street names and photos. Thank you so much! :)
There are two billboards on this parcel N of our neighborhood entrance on N Walnut St to the W beyond the chiropractor’s office. It appears this parcel was once owned by Hoosier Outdoor Advertising so, I’m presuming that once Steve Ferguson obtained it and Parks and Rec is now the owner that both of these billboards can be taken out and until that might happen at least the one with the lights can have those deactived along with any service. It would be perfect if this area would then be able to gain native trees to add our Tree City USA canopy and Haskell Smith would be able to increase our diversity with new trees followed by native shrubs et al that will be most welcomed over any likely invasive bush honeysuckle et al along this main coordinator into our City and from the N into Cascades Park along the E side of Old State Rd 37 or Dixie Hwy. Thank you for letting me know if I can provide any additional information that might permit this prime cooridor becoming most appreciated and greatly improved with native trees and plants stepping up our Greenspace cooridors W and E along N Walnut Street. Thank you!
Trash in area behind convention center off blind trail
Enjoying the BSO concert at the switchyard pavilion tonight (8/24/25) and they closed the bathrooms at 8:00pm! I know the sign says closed at 8, but when an event is going on and there are 100’s of people here at the concert! Not good.
Dead tree
There is a watering station for humans and dogs located on the Clear Creek Trail, 1/6th of a mile south of the Gordon Pike overpass. The button for the dog watering part of the station is sticking, resulting in the water continually running. This was observed Thursday, September 11 at 8:40 a.m.
Can someone please explain why I'm being forced to listen to an outdoor religious concert blasting on Sunday evening through the whole Broadview neighborhood. I don't know if this is at switchyard or the warehouse or what but the nose is rattling the dishes in my house and I live on Rogers and country club. If these people have a permit then whoever gave it to them needs to be fired. And if they don't then they need a severe fine. Absolutely ridiculous.
In 2024, the City of Bloomington planted native species along the west side of the B-Line trail adjacent to the 300 & 400 block of Mortons St. After a year of growth the portion next to the B-Line trail looks fine; however the “back side” of this planted area that is on the east side of Morton St is heavily overgrown, encroaching 3 to 4 feet into Morton St, obstructing traffic, pedestrians and bikers on Morton St. this is becoming a safety issue due to the narrowing of the street die to overgrown, and un-kempt planting of native plants along the B-Line trail. Requesting that the City of Bloomington groom the back side of this native planting, along Mortton St as to not obstruct the normal use of Morton shared by pedestrians, bikes and traffic.
A black Pontiac sedan is off the road, parked/abandoned/unattended, facing Rogers (maybe spun out). It is on S Rogers between Gordon Pike and W That Road on the east side of the road, just north of the pedestrian crossing. It is off the road, in the snow/on the trail.
Poop in the dogpark. Several months ago both the supply of bags and the container for used bags were moved from within the dog fields themselves to an area within the double gate entry area. Perhaps this was an attempt at efficency but it has had a sigificanlty adverse affect on the conditions in the park itself with much more poop being left on the ground and more full bags being left scattered around the park. Yesterday I picked up 11 full bags left out in the field and this is not uncommon. Both the bags and the refuse containers need to be returned to their original spots to turn this trend around. This is a great park, let's keep it that way. Thank you, please let me know how you are proceeding. Thanks, Dirk Fraser
