LED street light out at W. Allen and B Line trail crossing.
ornamental LED light on B-Line at Morton and Allen Street is out.
Shopping cart has been stashed behind bushes
Lights 153 and 148 are out. There is a child's bicycle that is on the side of the trail near light 153, too.
Several large branches have fallen across the Bloomington Rail Trail. Apologies if this has already been reported....
Three lights out on the B-Line: 61, 77, 153
The tree branches hanging over the sidewalk connecting the B-Line to the parking lot and Rail Trail are extremely low. I keep hitting my helmet on them as I bike through. It would be nice to get these trimmed back. Thanks!
I would like to highlight what I believe to be one remaining safety concern along that B-Line bike path. It has to do with the bridge on Allen that crosses over the open drainage (right by the Traffic Division's garage). When approaching the bridge from either direction, there are significant gaps on either side where there is no barrier between the road and the drainage culvert. I am concerned that a cyclist -- perhaps one pulling over to allow a car to pass -- could misjudge their stopping distance and ride into the culvert. Additionally, there is no easy way for someone who does fall in to climb back out. I believe that the expense to fix this would be low. It appears that an attempt may have been made to create a curb at one point, but the work appears to be incomplete and not sufficient to stop a bicycle. However, something like a length of guardrail seems like it would be more than sufficient. Thank you for taking time to read my concern.
Broken air pump at bike repair station on B-Line trail near Bloomingfoods. The lock-lever on the air hose does not engage and it will not seal onto bike tire nozzle.
Bike air pump at bike repair station (at Grimes and B-line trail) is broken. It seems to be missing the pump handle from the air pump, and is not functional as an air pump.
