Suspicious person has been parking in the Building Trades Park parking lot for months and seems to sit in his truck for hours almost every afternoon. As I was riding my bike by the parking lot, he drove out of the parking lot and followed me on Howe St heading east until I got on the b-line.
There is a strip of grass outside our back yard fence along the parking lot across from the Bryan Park poo. For the last three years + the city has mowed it. This year so far they have mowed a strip along the parking lot but have left a strip along our fence (see photo). The gentleman who mows rides his mower through the parking lot several times a week, could he please mow that strip or would you please tell me why not? He does a great job keeping the area mowed and trimmed. Thanks, Rich Pierce
I would like to complain about all of the rain outs at the Winslow baseball fields when there is no active rain. Games are being canceled by the city when the Smithville and Ellettsville leagues are still playing games. Both other leagues have people on the field clearing water and putting down quick dry every day while it appears very little effort is given to clearing water from the Winslow fields. Having city employees work on the fields or allowing volunteers to do so would make a big difference.
It seems the baseball fields either do not have proper drainage or are not given any sort of priority or care after it rains in an attempt to make the playable for youth baseball leagues. We have had more games canceled in the recent weeks than we have played. All while other local fields in town continue to be able to successfully get theirs ready and play.

Old tire in the creek area of switcyard park. Possibly washed down from elsewhere with all the rain we've been having this week. See marked area on picture of map attached for area. It's north of the splashpad, south of the skate park, in the stream bed between he east & west bridges on the B-Line
Games canceled again tonight even though there has been no rain in 36 hours. There were no attempts to work on them yesterday to remove water so they could have a chance to dry out today.
I completely understand that weather is no one‘s fault, but we need to find a way to protect the Winslow baseball fields from rain. My family and many others have paid for the Bloomington junior league baseball Association season and we are now going on the third consecutive night of canceled games. Only field three appears to have standing water. Can you all please work to find a solution to maybe cover or tarp the infield so they do not get waterlogged and the games can be played. Thank you for your consideration.
