Trails:

Other: I am a runner who parks at the Grimes/Patterson/Bike Garage trail head and runs south on the B-line most every day. Today for the first time after work (5:45-6:30pm) that parking lot was 90% full. Everyone who I observed coming and going from the parking lot had a gym bag and went in to Crossfit rather than using the trail. It seems like Crossfit as a commercial venture should have to secure its own parking for its patrons rather than allowing them to park for free in the trailhead lot to the detriment of trail users. Is it possible you may speak to the Crossfit owners or put up signage there before the students come back and it gets worse? Thank you for letting me know about this, in case there is nothing to be done and I need to find somewhere new to run.

We are aware of Cross Fit's use of the Grimes Lane parking lot and to date have permitted it. Parking for access to the B-Line is also provided off Countryclub Drive at the start of the Bloomington Rail Trail. To date, this is the first concern that we have received regarding spaces at the Grimes Lane being taken near to its capacity. The Countryclub parking lot rarely fills to capacity. We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention and we will continue to monitor use of the lot to ensure parking for trail users between Grimes and Countryclub is maintained.
