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!
Someone is camping off Dunn street near the Griffy trails. They have a nailed a private property sign to a tree and have a site with a large tent and other items set up.
On the Renwick trail between Sare rd and a Renwick Blvd there's a bunch of trash including a knife at the Sare rd end of the trail
walking path behind 1001 E Winslow Dr. several broken limbs on city and my property, please have them removed, they have been there since Spring!
Lamp post 134 on B-Line Trail appears to be out. This is a high-priority public safety issue as there have been assaults on this part of the trail recently.
Guest came into WonderLab having found sharps on the trail near the janeway statue. There are piles of abandoned belongings around the side entrance to our WonderGarden on the trail. This is a safety issue for our guests and staff.
Observed a drum (as in musical) situation in the creek just south of the Switchyard skate park. Can see the drum from the newer path/metal overlook bridge.
The road/trail crossing at Moravec is dangerous due to bikes crossing at high-speed without regard to vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The bushes on southwest corner of this crossing also impeded visibility of bikes crossing at high speed. The trail should have speed limit signs for bikes/e-bikes and yellow yield signs.
Bloomington resident Sam Melchior (dsamuelm375@gmail.com) contacted me through an email message the following concern: " I would still appreciate a further response as the scooter and ebike problem continues to worsen. I have added ebikes due to the increased use of them on the Bloomington Rail Trail and the increased size and speed of these vehicles. They are extremely dangerous and damaging to the natural surface trail. Thanks." Please direct a response to Mr. Melchior via his email address dsamuelm375@gmail.com. Thank You, Pat Martin
