On the B-Line light number 63, just north of Dodds St. is not working at night.
Scooter illegally parked on private property, hidden behind dumpster.
On N. Oolitic near 11th St there is a deep cut in the road where I assume utility work was done but the cut is dangerous as it will destroy a car. There is no sign to alert a car that it is there, and it needs to be filled in or a metal sheet needs to be placed over it until the complete repair can be done. I thought my tires were going to blow out yesterday when I drove over it and I drove very slowly over it because I was aware already that it was there. Please stop ignoring the road conditions around here (Lindbergh and Oolitic between 11th and 17th) and please fix them asap.
Referencing case #172753, I would like to point out that no,the tree actually has NOT been removed.
Nope, Public Works was wrong. Drivers exiting from the rear of Union at Crescent aren't going out 14th. They are going to W. 11th via N. Oolitic. Since that exit opened, traffic on Oolitic has tripled and they don't all come down the hill heading South at a kid-safe speed. Thanks for upgrading the infrastructure before development, Hamilton.
Bradford Pears (invasive species) located at Monroe Water Treatment Plant. The two trees are located at the discharge point of a surface drain. More importantly, the trees are located directly adjacent to the Hoosier National Forest, which is just a mere 50ft away (across Shady Side Dr). Currently, the trees are bearing fruit. It appears that these fruits' seeds have the opportunity to traverse the slope and end up in our watershed, tainting the Hoosier National Forest, as an invasive species. The trees should be removed ASAP, as part of the City's initiative to systematically remove Bradford Pear trees from public property. Given the proximity to the National Forest and in the confines of the Lake Monroe watershed, this is a priority site.
Re: After being denied a solution, I would like to clarify that this is CITY property. I do not understand how and why I should “contact the county regarding this” because the City of Bloomington owns this property. As an employee am I supposed to contact the County regarding issues at my workplace? No! That’s why I’m filling out this report. There is an invasive species on the CITY OF BLOOMINGTON’s property of which they have vowed to remove in recent initiatives. This is the responsibility of the city, not the county. I feel like you didn’t even actually read what I wrote and just looked at the address and said “NOPE! Not my responsibility” Bradford Pears (invasive species) located at Monroe Water Treatment Plant.
