Large tree branch down in Butler Park, at the entrance from the BLine side, near the westernmost shelter.
My wife and I took our kids to explore Switchyard Park one morning last month (3/27). We were excited to see the new development. And it really is wonderful, but...we found homeless people drinking in the play areas, one passed out on a bench, and vomit on the B-line trail (around the area of the Warehouse). It didn't feel like a safe place for kids. At the corner of B-line/Grimes, there's a small police station, and the area in front of it was strewn with trash and bottles, and with a person passed out on top of the picnic table. I guess this police building might not have any police inside. This is a serious problem. I would not let my kids go there by themselves. Is this issue on your agenda? Thanks for all you do.
Invasive shrubs cut down in Bryan Park on the slope adjacent to 1101 S Stull Ave. are regenerating. The stumps need to be removed.
A branch fell off of a tree onto the fence and basketball court in Broadview Park. Thank you so much!
Overgrowth hanging over street on West Club House Drive. Low enough to scratch vehicles driving by.
I would like to know more about how the COVID restrictions apply to the parks, specifically the gathering restrictions. For example, if a group of 15-20 people independently show up to the park masked and distanced to engage in a sport or other active outdoor activity, is that in violation of the City of Bloomington order?
Just one muddy hole in Ferguson dog park
Filling in muddy holes in Ferguson dog park.
This is a repeat of a previous ureport as I haven't heard any updates on the previous ureport nor seen noticed action yet being taken to address this issue. There is bare ground at the playground structure at Park Ridge Park. There is need of new fill material in particular at points of high traffic (the bottom of slides, the bottoms of steps etc). Also - there is ongoing erosion at locations through out the park, in particular to the north of the concrete steps leading in to the park and to the north of the the playground structure. I suggest strongly trying to address this (and the other locations) sooner rather than later as previous experience suggests that these areas only get worse with time.
