Will the Rail Trail get some new gravel soon? Last Thursday I was on it for the first time since April and the wet summer has made it much more muddy.

I see that the Winslow trail around the baseball/softball fields is being upgraded. I've heard it will be widened and paved. Please be sure to put up a sign to remind bicyclists to yield to walkers--the sign you posted on the Jackson Creek Trail would be great. I walk this path 2 times a day. And lately too often bicyclists just plow down the trail expecting walkers to clear out of the way, even when they come upon a walker from behind.
I am wondering about the wind fall limbs in local parks, am I allowed to pick it up and take it home for my fire place???? Also when the City cuts down trees what happens to the wood??? Thank you for you time. I have lived in many places and Bloomington has some of the best parks I have seen. Thank you for that
There has been some construction on the trails near the Wesley Sports complex. I use the trail to commute to work by bike every day and noted its bad constitution - especially after heavy rain. I had hope for some improvements but the 'closed for construction' signs have been removed and while the trail is now wider it seems like the construction has been stopped half way. The trail is still very sandy / muddy and parts are very soft so that my bike sinks into the sandy surface which makes it very uncomfortable to rise and also somewhat unsafe. Is the construction already done or just paused?
Abandoned bike on clear creek trail doth of rockport
The multi use path along High Street is still not completed around the telephone/electrical pole just south of the corner with Wimbleton Ln. This unfixed part of the path continues to be unsafe 6 months after the rest of the path was completed. Is there a timeline for fixing this?
Looks like beavers have built a dam at the small pond between E Creeks Edge Rd and Creeks Edge Path where it empties into the East Fork Jackson Creek. Pond appears high and creek appears low as a result.
#92 light is out. I used to simply contact the Pks person in charge of replacing the light bulbs, but I don't know if he is still with Pks!
On the Clear Creek Trail just north of the That Road Trailhead, Nestbox 24 is down. This box been used many years in a row for tree swallows who will be returning to the area soon. I would be happy to repair it myself if you would like me to, but I’m hoping it can be up again by the time the birds are looking for their nest spots.
We are new to Bloomington and have been enjoying the cities walking trails and parks. Sunday we visited Rail Trail walking trail on Country Club Drive and we were shocked at the amount of trash we saw. We parked in the lot and walked the rock trail and at the second bench we started seeing a lot of trash and debris on the access road to the left of the trail. LOTS of debris and it looked almost like a shanty town and camping areas set up. The area may be on private property don't know but it is a hazard. Just wanted to let you know
