Highland & Winslow Farm Dr

Case Date:
7/6/2024

On the trail by Winslow Sports Park, adjacent to Highland, near Winslow Farm Rd. There's a short wooden bridge/boardwalk. We were biking on the trail as an alternative to riding on Highland Ave and my son crashed at the bridge. He's fine, but it wasn't fun and it could've been worse. The wood was wet and friction strips are missing/ineffective in areas. There's also a large bump from asphalt to wood, so his tires were bouncing anyway. On top of that, the bridge is located in a turn - you can't even go over it straight, you have to be turning. Turning a bike on wet wood is destined for failure. Please replace this bridge. Preferably a permanent solution, like a culvert covered by concrete, which will permanently resolve the friction and bump issue. Wood will just become an issue again. Thank you.

Several of the bridges on the trail at RCA park have severe damage. One of them has been broken for weeks, the other has several broken boards and has become unsafe in the last day. There is also a deep pot hole in the asphalt. I am sending pictures of the problems. I greatly appreciate what all of you do! Thank you!

Clear Creek Trail

Case Date:
4/18/2017

I started using the Clear Creek Trail about 3 yrs ago and was impressed with the way it was maintained. Last summer and so far this year not a lot of attention has been given to upkeep.no one seems to be mowing or cleaning the trail after a high wind when limbs have been blown down. One place that keeps getting worst is as the trail turns and runs along Rockport Rd. There is a large brush pile that has been there for the three years I have been using the trail and now it's starting to push a little more out onto the trail. There has been several limbs, some big enough to block the trail and I personally have removed the just so I could use the trail. This past winter the trash cans were full and the contents was blowing out onto the trail. It would be nice if you could give a little more attention to this matter. Thank you

Clear Creek Trail

There is an abandoned bike in the woods just behind the bench. It doesn't look like it's been there very long, and it looks like a fairly decent bike. The wheels are off, but they are nearby on the ground. It seems like too-expensive of a bike to just leave in the woods.

Bloomington Rail Trail

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.

The row of shrubs on the southwest side of the B line at Rogers need to be removed (every other one?) or trimmed so they are not a place for concealed drug use. Thank you.
