I would like the street lighting in front of my house to be removed (or at a bare minimum, the light fixture being updated to something that is DarkSky lighting approved where it is ideally motion sensor activated and directionally pointed down and away from my house). It forces us to do substantial light control inside my house when we'd generally like to leave blinds and curtains open to the view of the gold course across the street, it disrupts sleep for some of the members of our household, and this type of light pollution is terrible for wildlife. When we moved into this house in 2022, the light quickly burned out and was not operational for more than 18 months. That was definitely a better situation than the light now that it is illuminated again. The light pole is 168 135.

Trees on Pete Ellis Drive marked for removal Hi there—I just read the article in the paper about this issue. Please work with the state to not remove all of these beautiful old trees. Surely some compromise can be made to save some of them! Thank you!

I witnessed this officer using an extraordinary amount of verbal and physical force when arresting this man for riding the wrong way down walnut. The amount of unbridled rage displayed publicly by this officer driving car 1263 is dangerous and should be investigated thoroughly.

Last year someone ripped up the building that was here and made a huge mess. Then they poured gravel everywhere on the alley and also on the street out front and even across the street in the grass section where the trees are. Then they just left it all a mess for everyone to look at. Can you please make them sweep up the street out front at least where it is difficult to walk and ride a bike, and maybe also the grass across the street? Thank you ahead of time.

I am a resident in the area of Pete Ellis Drive and Discovery Parkway in Bloomington, Indiana, and I am writing to strongly urge you not to proceed with cutting down the trees along these roadways. These trees provide far more than aesthetic value. Mature urban trees offer shade that reduces pavement temperatures, lower surrounding air temperatures by several degrees, and help combat the urban heat island effect. They reduce energy costs for nearby buildings, improve air quality by filtering pollutants, absorb carbon dioxide, and help manage stormwater runoff by intercepting rainfall before it reaches drainage systems. Removing them increases runoff, erosion, and strain on municipal infrastructure. These trees also serve as critical habitat for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife, helping maintain local biodiversity. Beyond environmental benefits, numerous studies show that trees improve mental health, reduce stress, support public safety, and increase property values. Tree-lined streets encourage walkability and community engagement, contributing to overall quality of life. Mature trees cannot simply be replaced with saplings and expected to provide the same ecological, environmental, and economic benefits for decades. A replacement ratio of less than one-fifth does not meaningfully offset the long-term loss of canopy coverage. It takes 20–40 years for newly planted trees to begin delivering comparable benefits. Urban tree canopy is an essential part of climate resilience planning. Many cities are investing heavily in expanding — not reducing — their canopy to meet sustainability and climate goals. Removing established trees runs counter to these broader environmental objectives. I respectfully ask that you reconsider this proposal and explore alternatives that preserve as many existing trees as possible. If removal is deemed absolutely necessary, a significantly higher replacement ratio and a clear canopy restoration plan should be implemented. Protecting our urban canopy is an investment in the long-term health, sustainability, and livability of Bloomington. Thank you for your consideration.

No attempt has been made to clear the sidewalk south of the Carlisle factory on Weatherstone. The snow is piled up from plowing at the SE corner of Woodlawn and Weatherstone to the point that it is impassable, forcing pedestrians (including children walking to elementary school) into Woodlawn where cars come flying down the hill. Please contact Carlisle to clear this and to ensure that they prioritize clearing it in future snowstorms.

No house street address on mailbox or house. Delivery drivers confused and making wrong deliveries. Also, people looking for residents coming to neighbors searching for their address.
