deep sand and gravel collects on trail due to elevated soil and grass blocking proper draining. The worst area is on trail corner adjacent to Moores Pike and culvert underneath. The area becomes problematic for wheelchairs and strollers when muddy. risky for kids on bikes and scooters. thanks
Entire trail system needs care. from Sherwood oaks park to trail around football field. Very overgrown, unsafe paved surface due to roots and thin pavement.
There are a couple folks sleeping in the pavilion area and one tent erected on the nature trail. Have seen them the past few days taking my dog for a walk. Not sure if these are folks experiencing homelessness but figured city should be aware.
On the outer loop of the trail (at the bottom of the hill if you enter left where the pavillion is) there's a tent that I believe someone is living in. Was hoping to guide this individual to the Homelessness Resources department if possible. Thanks
There are three downed trees blocking the forested trail between upper Olcott and the Jackson Creek playground (by Rogers Family Park), plus a couple very large branches. Another tree has fallen over the new southern trail extension (leading to Rhorer from the Jackson Creek playground), squashing the wooden rail fence between the trail and the nearby homeowner's gravel drive. There is also a large branch blocking the forested walking path on the east side of Olcott's football field.
Trail lights on the hill that connects park with Goat Farm are not working. Or perhaps timer is malfunctioning. Thanks!
There are 2 trees that have been knocked down by the wind and are leaning over the rail trail. They are held up only by branches of other nearby trees and it doesn't look like they are very stable. Area is on the southern end of the Bloomington Rail Trail, in an area of limestone embankments, prior to where it intersects with the Clear Creek Trail. I'm worried about the safety hazards these trees present to people using the trail if they fall. Thank you, Tony Watkins
Polly grimshaw trail has a lot of overgrowth. Can parks trim it back or have the abutting property owners? Including poison ivy
Please post signage that motor vehicles are not allowed on the B Line. Multiple times I have been walking on the B Line with my dog and motorized bikes have come flying within inches of my dog and almost ran him over and hit him. There is no reason bikes that are motorized and go 30+ mph should be on a trail where people, children, and animals are walking. Please please do something about this, my dog almost got hit today by Hopscotch coffee shop.
