I am wondering about the wind fall limbs in local parks, am I allowed to pick it up and take it home for my fire place???? Also when the City cuts down trees what happens to the wood??? Thank you for you time. I have lived in many places and Bloomington has some of the best parks I have seen. Thank you for that

There has been some construction on the trails near the Wesley Sports complex. I use the trail to commute to work by bike every day and noted its bad constitution - especially after heavy rain. I had hope for some improvements but the 'closed for construction' signs have been removed and while the trail is now wider it seems like the construction has been stopped half way. The trail is still very sandy / muddy and parts are very soft so that my bike sinks into the sandy surface which makes it very uncomfortable to rise and also somewhat unsafe. Is the construction already done or just paused?

Wonderful, 1st walk down 9 mile creek. Questions are there nature walks to identify plants? Would it be possible to identify plants with a small sign similar to Mpls. Wild Flower Garden? Can we interest the Audobon Society to schedule events? Has a bird list been made? I heard a Pileated (sp) woodpecker today. I'm living at 9 mile senior Living… can I hep in some way?

Graffiti on the B Line. Behind Le Petit Cafe and Bloomingfoods, there is some new and hateful graffiti. It would be nice to have it gone by the next Farmers Market!

There's a section of the paved path in the low part of the Rev Butler park that is totally blocked by leaning and fallen trees and grapevines. They make the path impassable.
Thanks for looking into this.

The Polly Grimshaw Trail is in dire need of bush and tree trimming. The east bound "lane" is overgrown and in many places only two or three feet of the west bound "lane" is usable so that two bicycles would not be able to pass at the same time without one of them leaving the trail. A particular hazard is just east of the Pete Ellis crossing where a recently broken branch of a locust tree (the kind with thorns) is covering most of the trail. A thorn could easily puncture a bicycle tire.
I realize that Parks and Recreation has always denied having jurisdiction over this trail. But this was the only link I found to report this. Please pass this request on to which ever department would be able to handle it. Thanks so much!
