On the walking ramp going from the parking lot up to the trail at the Church Lane location, the weeds have grown out over the path and makes it hard for pedestrians or bicycles going opposite direction to pass.
Lights 130, 132, and 133 on the B-Line trail are out. Don't know if they ever got fixed from my last report.
Human feces along Clear Creek Trail My wife walks the Clear Creek trail every day in the morning. On several occasions she has noticed that someone has been defecating along the trail. She has noticed it around the first and/or second bench from the starting point at Tapp Rd. She knows it is not an animal because there has always been tissue paper left behind. She has also told me that the feces has been cleaned up from time to time and knows it's not a onetime incident. She has recently stopped walking that section of the trail to avoid the sight. Thanks in advance for looking into this matter.
Fallen trees are blocking the entrance to the Winslow Woods Nature Trail.
Light numbers 130, 132, 133 are all not operational. These lights are located near the train trestle. This makes it extremely unsafe to walk home. Please repair as soon as possible before someone gets hurt.

I am a frequent user of the Jackson Creek trail and connector up to Olcott Park. The trail just east of the bridge between Sherwood Oaks and Olcott has had drainage problems from the start, but they have steadily become worse, and now this section of the trail is not only messy, flooded and muddy, but to the point of being dangerous. I attach a picture of the mud accumulation on the trail at the bottom of the hill that students returning home from JCMS often ride with their bicycles. This mud is very slick, and it surely just a matter of time before a serious accident happens. I have another picture showing the mud accumulation right by the bridge, which is also an issue. Some effort to control the drainage form the east would solve this problem. Thanks. Arthur
I often walk my dog on the trail. About every afternoon the Lighthouse Christian School has a large group of kids running on the trail. They seem to take over the trail. I was just wanting to know if every school in Bloomington did this who would the trail belong to? The public for walking, ect. or to the schools? Seems to me that if you let one school all of them could take advantage of this. I do not like to be walking and have to step aside for a group of jogging kids!
Good afternoon, I am a Bloomington local who has an issue with smokers on the B-line. The B-line is designed as a fitness path, in addition to being a transportation path. I run frequently on the B-line and my runs are consistently clouded with smokers on the B-line. Anyone who runs knows, especially when well into your run, each breath is crucial to keeping your pace and to keeping on track. When you are approaching a smoker on the B-line, there is nowhere to run to avoid them and you can’t simply hold your breath until you pass. A big part of Bloomington is a community that promotes healthy living. I think that the environment of the B-line should reflect that and be one of health and positivity, not drinking, smoking and disturbing others. This is my first attempt at reaching someone about an issue with the B-line, so if there is a more appropriate area or person I should contact, please let me know. I am not sure what the appropriate action could be, possibly signage that establishes the path as a no smoking area. I often feel compelled to say something to the smokers when I pass but I don’t have anything to back up my protestation. If I could point to a sign or if they obviously had seen 15 signs saying no smoking on the trail, they would know what they were doing was wrong. I look forward to hearing back from you on this issue. Sincerely, Lindsey LINDSEY HARMON Regulatory Affairs Specialist- Latin America Cook Inc. 750 Daniels Way P.O.
