Dear Whom it may concern, I have a question related to my previous report (https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=214067). I saw that many kids drive dirt e-motorbikes threatening pedestrians on the park road. Is it legal for them to drive those motorized vehicles on the park trails? Currently, park regulation prohibit any motorized vehicles on the park trails. I think that they are definitely motorized vehicles because they are not e-bicycle with pedals. Therefore those e-motorbikes are not allowed on park trails under current rules. Am I right? I am wondering why city is not taking action (such as impose fines or warning etc.) for this serious violation. You should see how these kids are threatening pedestrians and stunting on the trails and streets. They are just literally racing in the jackson creek trail shouting "get out of the way" to the pedestrians. I reported this to 911 since last year three times. How long we should wait? It is a matter of time before somebody, either one of those kids or pedestrians, get seriously injured or worse. Please put the police officer on the trail between 4-7 pm. If the police wants to identify them, I have the video of these kids. PLEASE take this seriously. Thanks.

Many young people (most approx 10-14 years old) ride motorized bikes at high speeds along the trails at Olcott Park and Rogers family park. They also ride up and down The Stands Drive, often in the middle of the road. It is very dangerous, not only to them but certainly to pedestrians on the trails. I don't think they realize the danger of the blind curves and how fast they are really going. I'm not sure what a realistic answer is... I want kids to be able to get places independently and be outside with their friends, but maybe a "speed limit" if they are allowed on trails at all, as well as a campaign to educate parents and children about why it is important and just how dangerous it is. (Even pedal bikes can feel dangerous around the curves sometimes, but hopefully most adult bikers are aware of the dangers.) If they really need to use the trails for safe transportation at a slow speed that's one thing, but just to be riding fast for fun down the trails is extremely dangerous! I'm not sure how that would be enforced, and if it can't be then they probably shouldn't be allowed on them at all. Thank you for your help in keeping the trails safe for everyone to use!

The information sign which had the Morse code and other information on it has been damaged and is practically unreadable. Request a replacement sign because our escape room uses the Morse code as a piece of a puzzle for our outdoor Sherlock Holmes experience.

The mowing crew continues to blow debris onto my property from the b-link trail and they are mowing my property that has already been mowed. I've stopped them in the past and they had attitude when I asked them to blow up the hard surfaces. Please have them return and blow off all the clippings and tell them to do it the other direction, which seems to be common sense, going forward. Thank you. ~Lori @ Choice Realty

Lights are not working at nighttime. This has been ongoing now for almost 10 months. Respectfully, it should not be this difficult to turn lights on at nighttime. Please finally fix this.
