Someone has been camping in the woods east of the rail trail behind my house for the past week. They have multiple dogs and have been running a generator.
Someone has been camping in the woods east of the rail trail behind my house for the past week. They have multiple dogs and have been running a generator.
A few weeks ago, I noticed that there were some limestone slabs put on the rail trail entrance near Gordon Pike to keep away the cars that I had seen driving back there. Then I went on a run with my dad back there and we noticed that all of the tents seemed to be gone. I was excited that it seemed like that area was being cleaned up, however people are back to living on the newer trail that runs parallel to the rail trail. There have been only two incidents where I have tried to run on the rail trail and turned around both times because I felt unsafe. Both times, I heard someone yelling sounding agitated from the encampment on the trail. I would love to run on the Rail Trail because it is a beautiful trail and perfectly shaded for hot summer runs, but I just don't feel safe. I realize that this is a bigger issue to solve, but it is just frustrating to me that I cannot utilize that trail, even if I am with someone else, because I just don't feel safe. It is disappointing that Bloomington has beautiful parks and trails that people don't want to use because they feel unsafe.
Water fountain was turned off. Please turn it back on.
Please trim the branches that overhang the short bike path that runs between South Rogers Street and South Madison Street on what would have been West Ralston Street (If it were a street and not a bike path). Thank you.
This mileage sign for walkers heading northwest on the Clear Creek Trail is totally unreadable. It is across from the hopscotch court on the little learning trail just south of That Road. Cheap to replace! I think it is meant to mark 0.5 mile point from the roundabout where CCT intersects with the Bloomington Rail Trail. We walkers like to know how far we’ve traveled! FYI the pavers under several of the benches on the trail are loose and could also use some work.
This mileage sign at top for people walking northwest on Clear Creek Trail is nearly unreadable and incorrect. Needs replacement. It barely says 1 mile from Tapp Road roundabout. It is actually 1 mile from the CCT/Bloomington Rail Trail intersection roundabout. The bottom sign is pretty worn as well.
There is a tree down across the trail from a recent storm. Approximate location shown on the attachment.

Homeless encampment off B line trail.
The raised traction on the boardwalks in Bryan park is too tall and poses a trip hazard. In addition, there is a small section near the east end of the boardwalk by the adult fitness equipment that is warped so that it is sticking up more than the rest. It's subtle, but it's problematic. Several people who saw me trip on it today said they had struggled on the same spot earlier today or earlier in the week.
