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.

You have paved the path to the waterfall at Cascades to make it more accessible, which is great! But then you blocked off the parking lot right near there so I have to park farther away. Even parking with my handicap tag in the small lot by the playground adds a significant distance between my car and the waterfall. It is difficult for me to walk this extra distance. Please re-think this plan!

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!

Despite the city's high-level promotion of leaf mulching for the sake of saving time, energy, money, and the environment, the city continues to deploy teams of city workers to rake, blow, and bag leaves along the B-line trail. I would hope that the city would set a better example by implementing its own climate recommendations for its citizens in maintaining city and public land.

People walking north along the b line often walk along the left hand side of the bridge ramp to get to the Patterson sidewalk, might it be a good idea to pave this? There is a dirt path formed in the grass here.

Case #179848 is marked closed and labeled as resolved though it never was. Problem is still a problem and has been since originally reported. People traveling east bound are forced to use wrong side of trail if they don't want muddy shoes, slip or fall as they walk or run. Also, people on bikes or using strollers traveling east bound use wrong side of trail because of risks due to poor maintenance. Then, those traveling west bound, walking running or riding have routinely been forced off trail towards Moores Pike (very narrow grassy seperation there) or have a head on collision with those using wrong side of trail. Please remove silt, mud, gravel, etc. Please dig out a channel so it can drain properly in the future. Thank you.
