New steps were installed roughly two months ago at this Goat Farm turn. There is construction material debris that has remained here since, however. Please finalize this nice project with the removal of the unnecessary materials. Thank you!
Near the Clear Creek Trail parking lot off of Tapp Rd there are two large pieces of limestone stacked just north of the bike rack. Just under the far right bottom corner of the lower rock is an entry point for a yellowjacket nest. There was a lot of activity with the afternoon sun, with at least 15-20 yellowjackets seen flying around and entering the opening.
Looks like two bed frames were dumped on the northside of the Bloomington Rail Trail, across from the raised shed/treehouse on Ellington Farm
From the bridge of Tapp Road, the trail is overgrow along the creek/ parking lot narrowed.
Tree branch hanging over and blocking the BRT. Tree is approx 150 yes from BRT and Clear Creek Trail intersection
The footbridge right next to the Bryan Park restrooms has two or three damaged planks. This seems new, just noticed it today.
At the Winslow Woods Nature Trail, up on the hill as you're heading to the streets behind the trail (E. Azelea Ln and S. Bent Tree Dr.), there is a yellow jacket nest buried to one side in a thicket. I have noticed them the past couple days I've been out there getting more aggressive and expanding their territory. I was also stung by one before I knew they were there. They seem to be increasing in number, so wanted to let you know to warn anyone who might be allergic, or if children/pets are out there. Thanks!
A lot of effort has been done to trim trees and remove invasive honeysuckle along this trail the last year. Unfortunately, the perhaps even more invasive tree of heaven has taken its place. I've noticed dozens of saplings that have grown already up to 10 feet tall this year.
The trees planted along the new multiuse trail need water! The blue beech are wilting.
Yesterday morning, Wednesday August 20, at approximately 11:00 am, I was riding my bike southbound on the B-Line trail through Switchyard Park. In front of me on the trail was a riding lawn mower. As I pulled around to pass the mower on the left, the driver turned left without looking and knocked me off my bicycle. No one was injured, but the front wheel of my bike is wrecked. The incident occurred near light pole BL 29, which appears to have a security camera on it, in case it's helpful to review the camera footage. The operator of the mower is named Larry Norris, he works for Green Dragon Lawncare, under contract to perform maintenance services for the City. If it's possible to have my wheel replaced by their insurance, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
