Hello, Monroe Parks & Rec, This is just an FYI and hopefully an appeal for help. I contacted the sheriff’s office on Sunday, March 29, 2020 and since then the camping site looks to have expanded and the trash in the creek and along the road has increased. If you begin at the parking lot on Country Club and walk south on the gravel road that runs parallel to the trail, it takes about a 4-5 minute walk south to arrive at the spot. It is past the brush and next to the creek. There is a small orange tent and a large blue/green structure (I didn’t get too close), there is also something large in the creek that looks like bedding. Thank you for any help! My personal email is <patwooie@yahoo.com>
Could you move bicyclists and runners off the trails at this time of social distancing? It's especially noticeable on the the popular B-Line Trail. Walkers are doing a good job staying apart, bicyclists and runners not so much. There's limited space and time to distance from runners and bicyclists going by - two groups who by the nature of their activity are more likely to be exhaling droplets. Those on bikes could easily use streets which are fairly free of traffic right now, and sidewalks likewise for runners.
At Leonard Springs nature park someone has spray painted “F*** Capitalism” on the side of the old concrete damn wall. It looks relatively fresh.
Bicyclists, skateboarders who pass walkers unannounced, catching.walkers off guard and nearly grazing them. Some shout "Passing on the left", which I always acknowledge. But, too few do so. I suggest signs along trails to affirm and require this simple act of trail etiquette. We are frequent walkers on the B-line and we think Switchyard Park is a wonderful addition to Bloomington. Thank you.
B line trail from Henderson to south walnut is a mess. There are hypodermic needles, lots of dog feces, clothes, garbage and debris. The needles are dangerous and disgusting.
Trail around winslow park needs dog bins or people wont pick up dog crap. there's only one by the parking lot, needs to be 3-4 around the park perimeter trail
Two or three of the lights on the north side of Bee Line Trail bridge over Grimes/Patterson are out.
Lights along the B-Line are out: 45, 46, 47, 77, 110, 121, and 139 need fixing! And now #60, too. And yet more, now 94. Wondering what the percentage of lights not working needs to be before they get fixed.
Someone has dumped a rusty gas fireplace as well as blower motor along Winslow Woods mile long loop. It's in the woods just off the trail along the west leg towards north corner.
