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

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.

Just wanted to say that I saw a worker/or volunteer(?) the other day on the Griffy Trail raking leaves off the trail. It was much appreciated and I appreciate the work being done! Makes walking the trail much easier!

Huge thank you for the fix and needed improvement reported in case #181846. It has worked well during the last rains. Also, there is now less chance of frozen puddles creating slip and falls. Other trail neighbors, some elderly, are also appreciative!

NO CAMERAS AT TRAILHEAD.
About a month and a half ago my friend and I parked at the Clear Creek Trailhead on Tapp Rd. We went running on a Sunday afternoon and when we got back she noticed her drivers side window was broken in and her purse was stolen out of her car. We reported it to the police at the time.
Since then a group of us haven't used that trail for fear that our cars will be broken into, too.
I am wondering if cameras could be installed at all the trailhead parking lots? Thanks.

B-line trail lights 83, 79, 22 and 12 are either off or very weak. I observed these around Oct. 1, 2022. My notes also say J223 is off but I can't recall where that is (could be typo in my notes). Thanks much.

The stop sign for trail users on the Bloomington Rail Trail is leaning pretty severely and is not visible for trail users. It's on the Bloomington Rail Trail, north side of Gordon Pike.

On Sunday afternoon after all the rain, I noticed a debris dam across the creek that was holding back some water. Yesterday it was not holding back water, but remains in a position to collect more debris in the next rains. On Sunday I could see from the trail through Olcott woods that the water had overflowed at the dam and moved across the low land on the north side of the creek, through the grove of pawpaws.. Part of the debris came from a pile that had been just below the bridge. The dam includes a tree trunk that is now caught on an upright tree. If you go to the bridge and stand on the Olcott end and look downstream, you can see the debris dam.
