The Bloomington Police need to start patrolling the trails (and all of town) for illegal electric motorcycle operation. At 8:35pm on 5/26/2026 I observed an illegal electric motorcycle narrowly miss hitting a pedestrian. The illegal electric motorcycle was traveling south bound on the B-Line from Kirkwood with two people on it at a high rate of speed. The motorcycle has no pedals. It is not a bicycle. The motorcycle did not slow down or stop before crossing 4th Street. A lady was walking from west to east on the sidewalk along the south side of 4th Street. The electric motorcycle was quickly approaching the pedestrian and the lady saw it just in time and was able to stop walking and narrowly miss being hit and severely injured. The illegal motorcycle did not try to avoid the collision. These illegal electric motorcycles cannot use the trail. The operators need to be issued tickets with fines and the motorcycles impounded and not returned. These motorcycles are operating recklessly and dangerously on trails, sidewalks, and streets. Please start removing these from our town before someone is seriously injured or killed by these motorcycles on our trails and sidewalks.

There has been a massive uptick in mostly young and teenage kids, mostly boys, riding on electric and gas powered bikes on the B-line at very high rates of speed that would not be safe even on a road. They pop wheelies, shout at pedestrians to get out of their way, and pose a huge safety risk. Why is there not an enforced rule on the kinds of vehicles that are not permitted on the B-Line? Surely it is illegal to drive a motor vehicle down the path?

1st world problem, but this wonderful bridge on the trail is at risk of being overwhelmed by grape and mulberry vines / branches soon. It's not a problem yet, but will likely be an issue by September. I would volunteer my weedwacker to fix it, but.... lawyers. Please put this bridge on your to-do list. You did a great job on the tree fall on the SE Park Lower path last month.

The ditch between E. Southdowns Dr and E. Sheridan Dr requires a mowing. The young man who was initially mowing this year is now MIA. He was doing a fine job. It has been at least three weeks, since last mowed. Can we get this area back on a regular schedule, perhaps with Bryan Park? Thank you. V/r, Mark
