Hello! I am a representative of the Bloomington Highlands HOA, and it has been a concern of many neighbors in our neighborhood that people are parking along our streets to access the Clear Creek trail. It is especially problematic at the entrance to our neighborhood along W. Hennessey St. and up S. McDougal St. Could Parks and Rec post signage along the trail and within our neighborhood explaining that parking is permitted at the trail entrance and not within our neighborhood? Thank you for any assistance you can provide. Kind regards - Anna Bragin; Member At Large; Bloomington Highlands HOA

I’ve been hiking this trail for years with my dog. Other dogs give her anxiety, especially large ones. There are signed posted at the entrances to the trail informing people they must keep their dogs leashed. Almost every single time we take this hike we encounter at least one unleashed dog. We always pick up our dog And our toddler and step off the trail but many times the unleashed dog Approaches us and with our hands full we have no way to defend ourselves. It’s getting to the point where we Can only bring our dog on hikes if it’s very very early in the morning before anyone arrives there. We have tried politely asking people to please keep their dogs leashes but it is clearly not working. We very much need someone ministering the griffy hiking trail. We have many dog parks for dogs off leash. I don’t take my dog there, because she would be frightened, and that’s OK. We take her to the griffy trail because the dogs are supposed to be leashed. PLEASE help. We’ve had dogs jumping up and nipping at our dogs feet and really terrifying our child while he’s strapped to my back (which we do Often because of all the unleashed dogs as well)

We were saddened this morning to find all of this fireworks trash on the Jackson Creek Trail (East Branch). As far as we know, this trail is city property and, per state law, should *not* have been used to set off fireworks. It would seem appropriate to fine the neighborhood resident who illegally used the city's property for fireworks last night. We do hope that those persons involved will also be cleaning up this fireworks trash. Thanks for your kind assistance!

Major limbs came down on the rail trail just a few 100 yards south of the Country Club parking lot.

The Renwick trail is over grown. It's become dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. I cut trees and bushes back at one of the worst squeeze zones on the trail. The entire trail needs cut back. thanks

There used to be No Tresspassing signs here after more people started going out on trails during the lockdown. Many people still think it’s part of the park. Few city people know the purple paint means the same thing. Owners of both sides of the property line must agree to use paint instead of signs. Did the city really agree to this? One guy on the path down from Olcott thought the paint marked the BHSS cross country course. If he really wants to keep people out he needs to invest in maintaining real signage or fencing.
