Hi! The north leg of the B-Line trail needs some TLC. It's super icy and patchy. Thank you!! Grateful for you guys!

Leonard Springs has fallen trees blocking trail, been there a while.
B-line lights 22, 31, 40 and 52 are either out or are very weak.
There are two abandoned bicycles in the creek beside the nature trail, south side of the park.
Hello, there is a partially down tree which is blocking access to this trail. The trail goes behind the Renwick subdivision on Sare Road and is just before the underpass (if you are coming from Sare Road).
Winslow Woods Park on a spur trail, an individual has created a Mountain biking obstacle through plant life and dug up creek bed to create a jump. I’m pretty sure that this park does not allow bicycles on trails.
Question on map. Greenway that goes W/E on 7th I saw as a dotted line on a map with other dotted line proposed trails. Are improvements going to be made to the existing path/greenway on 7th/morningside/etc.? Thank you.
I would really like to see emergency call buttons placed along the B line trail. I love walking the trail, but I don't feel comfortable walking alone, especially since some portions of the trail are very isolated. I know that many citizens, especially women, would use the trail more if they felt safer.
Last summer I went hiking at Leonard Springs Nature Park at least once a week (I live down the road) and I just followed the trail around in the big loop and I never had an issue. There were no need for signs because there were no forks in the path or anything like that. Today I went hiking there for the first time since last fall and I got lost for nearly an hour and ended up on a new trail that led me to someones private property where they were hunting. There are at least 4 places where the the trail forks and there are no signs telling you which way to go and where they lead. I took a right turn and the trail dead ended and I found myself in the middle of nowhere. I am an experienced hiker and I have a good sense of direction but something weird is going on with this trail. There are giant bulldozed areas with no description that lead nowhere. This is very unsafe. And why on earth would one of these trails lead to someones property where they have hunting equipment set up? Those rednecks are hunting back there where people are hiking. Also there is broken glass and polar pops everywhere. I know the Indiana crowd isn't super classy to begin with, but I think we all pay enough taxes to permit someone cleaning up that trail every now and then. My dog stepped on a broken beer bottle. The whole situation is just disgusting.
Hello. I am a regular user of the Bloomington Rail Trail. I love the trail, however, recently the trail was altered in a way that is dangerous and less than ideal for running, walking, and biking. The original surface was recently disturbed with new material which was applied unevenly and makes it hazardous or impossible to run and bike on. I have seen several minor accidents and suspect more are occurring. I know several in the fitness community that are unhappy with the recent changes to the trail. I would appreciate any info on why this change was made and if there are any plans to improve the situation. Thank you! Craig
