Hello - I'm concerned about the use of the herbicide glyphosate on our city medians and on the B-Line Trail. Please stop using this chemical immediately - it's killing bees.

I understand it reduces the manual labor involved in weed removal, but when measured against the environmental impact on vulnerable species, I don't think its use can be defended.

I am becoming very concerned with the increasing homeless population on the B-Line Trail. The trail is no different than the parks out of which they are being removed. It's interesting that they get to use the same city services when they don't pay taxes. They often monopolize the public spaces, thus adversely impacting the availability for those who pay taxes and responsibility use the city services. The City of Bloomington needs to begin worrying about its taxpaying citizens, not the homeless.

I was walking my dog this morning on the trail at Winslow and High (I call it the goat farm, but am not sure if this is the correct name). There are signs all over about Pesticide use stating that it was applied on Wednesday and should be avoided until Saturday. Yesterday when I was walking my dog these signs were not posted yet and he (and I think many other neighborhood dogs) went in that area. I am concerned that the signs were not posted earlier as I would not have gone there to walk my dog. In the future could you post signs alerting that this will be done as well WHEN it is done?

Question on map. Greenway that goes W/E on 7th I saw as a dotted line on a map with other dotted line proposed trails. Are improvements going to be made to the existing path/greenway on 7th/morningside/etc.? Thank you.

A tree question but didn't see category. House at 4011 E Morningside has big dead tree trunk in corner of yard. Branches were cut off. Anything the city can do to cut down the rest of that trunk? Even if just a stump is way better than current.

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.

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.
