My property at [address] flooded again on June 18, 2025, continuing a long-standing pattern of stormwater failures. This area lies within FEMA Zone AE. I have lost two vehicles to flooding and continue to suffer property damage and personal risk due to repeated flood events. The creek that repeatedly overflows lies just off my property line, meaning I have no ability to access, maintain, or control the waterway that causes these floods. Despite this, my home bears the damage. City crews have occasionally cleared culverts, but no long-term mitigation appears to have been performed. This remains a clear public hazard. I am formally requesting inspection and corrective action by the City under Title 13 of the Bloomington Municipal Code, which mandates maintenance, inspection, and prevention of stormwater harm. I have also contacted FEMA Region V to report this issue and request federal documentation. Attached to this report is one photo showing flooding on my property during the June 18, 2025 event, after I had to relocate my vehicle to prevent further damage. A parcel map showing the property location in relation to the adjacent creek is also available upon request. I ask that you please confirm this report is logged and provide a response or timeline for action.

not sure which utility dug and then left the mound of dirt, but it would be great if they could come fix it

North Margie Court in Union Valley Farms Subdivision. Court is still covered with sand from the winter months. While I appreciate the sand being put down for the winter, I'd also expect it to be removed after the weather clears, all this should be taken care of by my tax dollars. Above that, young children are now riding their bikes throughout the development. It would be a shame for one of them to wipe out on this sand and be severely injured.

I would like to suggest sending a clean-up crew for the sidewalk on Gordon Drive East of Henderson behind the Sweetbriar neighborhood. I walked past there yesterday and it is filthy and full of debris. Placing about three trash cans along that road may also help. I love Bloomington and really enjoy my walks both along the trails and in the neighborhoods. Cannot wait for the new the Switchyard Park!
