I was walking along the B-Line Trail yesterday when I spotted a patch of dodder about 75 sq. ft. in area. It was located at light no. 32, in the Switchyards. This stuff is terrible once it gets going, but if you contain it now you'll save yourselves an awful lot of heartache in the future. If you need additional info, feel free to call me at 812.929.1513. Thanks for all you do, and all best wishes. John Linnemeier
There is excessive growth on the walking/biking trail that starts in Park Ridge and follows the train tracks behind Woodbridge apartments. The section that goes between park ridge and pete ellis along the tracks is the worst. It is difficult to bike the trail.
pull-up bars on B-Line at Allen Street were fixed the day after I reported it. Thank You! Please repair the parallel bars at Bryan Park, (northwest end). These bars have been in disrepair for years. I know several others who use the exercise equipment routinely. Best regards.
The RCA park - off from the trail, creek, there is a tree fell and it would possible cause the flooding to my neighbor house.
I was walking down the B-Line today at approximately 12:10 pm and found it concerning that a city of Bloomington employee driving a small green vehicle was "patrolling" the switchyard by driving to remote locations and idling while using his phone rather than driving the trails. Perhaps a better use of his time would be to salt or plow the b-line, because although the roads are fine, the trail is iced up and difficult to use. Please fix these problems and ensure that city workers are doing their job! -concerned citizen
Will the Rail Trail get some new gravel soon? Last Thursday I was on it for the first time since April and the wet summer has made it much more muddy.
I see that the Winslow trail around the baseball/softball fields is being upgraded. I've heard it will be widened and paved. Please be sure to put up a sign to remind bicyclists to yield to walkers--the sign you posted on the Jackson Creek Trail would be great. I walk this path 2 times a day. And lately too often bicyclists just plow down the trail expecting walkers to clear out of the way, even when they come upon a walker from behind.
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?
The water fountain at the trail head near the B-line is continuously running
