Hello-- Once a week a group of us run on the Rail Trail...we are primarily a collection of faculty from IU who really enjoy the trails that P&R provide (THANKS). We are also truly a multi-generational group...with a couple of our members ALWAYS....and I do mean always....mentioning how nice they thought it was to see a plaque honoring George Heise and others near the bridge at the end of the Rail Trail. George was a longtime member of the Psychology department and a colleague/teacher for many in our group. So, they were very saddened to see that the plaque has been stolen. I've attached a picture of where it used to be, and hope you could find it in the budget to replace it. I'd appreciate a response. Thanks again. Rob
Pile of needles found along side of B Line trail this morning, Near the turn off to Butler Park and under the railroad crossing bridge
Tree leaning and looks like it may fall onto paved trail of B-line, north end. On north side of trail. Approx 1/4 mile from N Adams Street. The tree trunk is near the 4th lamp post, heading south, from the lamp post that has a Bryan Pk commemoration banner.
Trail not cleared properly of storm damage, trees hanging precariously directly over trail
Tree cleanup needed in the creek alongside the Clear Creek Trail between That Road and Church Lane. There were trees at various locations that fell into the creek from the trail side that the city owns. These trees cause a potential flood hazard and need to be removed. I spoke with City of Bloomington Stormwater and MS4 Coordinator and they referred me to report this to Parks and Rec to take care of the issue.
Will the Rail Trail get some new gravel soon? Last Thursday I was on it for the first time since April and the wet summer has made it much more muddy.
There was evidence that someone is trying to live in the woods on the northern section of the NL trail at Griffy Lake. I hiked parked of this trail 8/26/16 and saw what seemed to be the beginnings of a make shift shelter as well as various Styrofoam to go containers scattered throughout this part of the trail. There was a man who was clearly not on a recreational hike on the NL trail who we saw multiple times before we decided to turn back and head towards the NS trail. The man had long brown hair, was clearly dirty and smelled strongly. He was young (less than 40 years old). We saw him several times on different parts of the NL trail and it was clear he was not hiking the trail in a linear fashion (possibly going of trail to cut to a different part?). The presence of this man plus the food containers/shelter seemed very suspicious and VERY unsafe for recreational hikers. Please have someone take a look out there to clean up the trash/take down the shelter. I have a attached an image marking the location of the food/shelter. Feel free to contact me with additional questions/concerns.
