Parks & Playgrounds:

Web Form: I love Bryan Park and have walked there nearly every morning for many years. In the past year or so, bikes have increased in numbers in the park and have become a significant danger to pedestrians. While there are many bikers who are careful and ride slowly down the park's paths, there are always a few bike riders who speed along the park's sidewalks and paths, endangering pedestrians and pets. They fail to announce themselves when they are passing people from behind and ride at speeds that are too fast to be safe. There are many older people who use the park as well as people with small children and pets. The bikers are especially dangerous to them. There should be some safe places for pedestrians in Bloomington and the parks should be among these places. Please keep the bikes out of the park and off of the sidewalks surrounding the park or please enforce bicycle speed limits in the park. This is an accident waiting to happen. An encounter with an unsafe biker is nearly a daily event in the park.

Thank you for this report. I apologize for the late response. As you are aware these are multi-use trails, though some of the paths at Bryan Park are narrower than what is ideal for a true multi-use trail. We will continue to evaluate cyclist traffic through the park, particularly through the east-west route along the creek that gets the most commuter traffic. Thank you.

What is the policy on bike traffic in parks such as these?
