City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #182050

Trails:

Other: Despite the city's high-level promotion of leaf mulching for the sake of saving time, energy, money, and the environment, the city continues to deploy teams of city workers to rake, blow, and bag leaves along the B-line trail. I would hope that the city would set a better example by implementing its own climate recommendations for its citizens in maintaining city and public land.

Thanks for the insightful comment. I'll make sure we look into this a little bit more. We have a lot of areas in parks that we designate as low-mow/low-maintenance/low-blow in which we leaves our leaves. We also have some spaces that we necessarily need to clean up. The margins of the B-Line have thus far been one of those places due to the propensity for leaves along the trail to end up on the trail and create hazards for pedestrians, cyclists, icing, etc. We'll certainly take another look at this and see if there are some areas we could convert to lower-maintenance. Please get in touch if you have further ideas.
