concerned with Fence around solar panels at Winslow Trail. If you are putting barbed wire across the top, I don't think you are putting in a tall enough fence at location just north of baseball field. Due to elevation of the trail vs top of fence barbed wire will be to low, chain link fence needs to be 2 ft taller, then barbed wire.
Checking if sharrows are happening soon on E Morningside bike lane. Bus went by very quickly this morning so was reminded of the need unfortunately. Was prior told would happen in Spring so hoping can soon as have started biking again. Thank you! Looking forward to their return!
I would really like to see emergency call buttons placed along the B line trail. I love walking the trail, but I don't feel comfortable walking alone, especially since some portions of the trail are very isolated. I know that many citizens, especially women, would use the trail more if they felt safer.
Last summer I went hiking at Leonard Springs Nature Park at least once a week (I live down the road) and I just followed the trail around in the big loop and I never had an issue. There were no need for signs because there were no forks in the path or anything like that. Today I went hiking there for the first time since last fall and I got lost for nearly an hour and ended up on a new trail that led me to someones private property where they were hunting. There are at least 4 places where the the trail forks and there are no signs telling you which way to go and where they lead. I took a right turn and the trail dead ended and I found myself in the middle of nowhere. I am an experienced hiker and I have a good sense of direction but something weird is going on with this trail. There are giant bulldozed areas with no description that lead nowhere. This is very unsafe. And why on earth would one of these trails lead to someones property where they have hunting equipment set up? Those rednecks are hunting back there where people are hiking. Also there is broken glass and polar pops everywhere. I know the Indiana crowd isn't super classy to begin with, but I think we all pay enough taxes to permit someone cleaning up that trail every now and then. My dog stepped on a broken beer bottle. The whole situation is just disgusting.
Do you maintain the Griffey Reservoir trails? The trails going from Meadowood through the woods no longer have chips on them. and in some areas, vegetation is now overhanging the trails. A couple of the direction signs seem to have been switched around a bit. A number of us here at Meadowood would be thrilled to have some maintenance done! Many thanks!
The water fountain (doggie fountain portion) on the Clear Creek trail that is halfway between That Rd. and Rockport Rd. (Just behind the house at the end of Dove Dr on the trail) is not functioning. It has not been functioning all year at all since it was turned on in the spring. Our pets out walking could use a little repair help please :) Thanks, Kevin
We were walking today on the Jackson Creek Trail & going up the hill that goes in the woods. I take my camera to get photos of wildlife. About halfway up the dirt trail, past the black top path, there is a tree located down at the creek which has a hollow hole in the base of it. I also like to take photos of tree structures. Inside the tree, it looks as though there is a trap set. Please keep my name anonymous. Thanks, Barb
Oak tree along Cascade trail (across from dog park) could use a little attention. It's been like this for at least two months. Certain mowing crew has seen this, along with the sign they mowed over. Not certain why they have not taken the initiative to correct this... Respectfully, Ralph Vargas
Hi! There is an abandoned bike tire locked to the city's bike rack at the B-Line and Dodds in front of Hopscotch. Can you please remove it? Thank you! Jane
Hello. I am a regular user of the Bloomington Rail Trail. I love the trail, however, recently the trail was altered in a way that is dangerous and less than ideal for running, walking, and biking. The original surface was recently disturbed with new material which was applied unevenly and makes it hazardous or impossible to run and bike on. I have seen several minor accidents and suspect more are occurring. I know several in the fitness community that are unhappy with the recent changes to the trail. I would appreciate any info on why this change was made and if there are any plans to improve the situation. Thank you! Craig
