There are three downed trees blocking the forested trail between upper Olcott and the Jackson Creek playground (by Rogers Family Park), plus a couple very large branches. Another tree has fallen over the new southern trail extension (leading to Rhorer from the Jackson Creek playground), squashing the wooden rail fence between the trail and the nearby homeowner's gravel drive. There is also a large branch blocking the forested walking path on the east side of Olcott's football field.

Trail lights on the hill that connects park with Goat Farm are not working. Or perhaps timer is malfunctioning. Thanks!

Just south of lamppost 117, on the east side of the b-line, is a statue that is structurally defective. Every time I see it, it is at a different angle. Sometimes it hangs into the path. It is scary and dangerous for cyclists, as it hangs at eye level when it extends into the path. If this hazard existed on a road, it wouldn't last one week but it has been allowed to damage bike&ped infrastructure for years. The scrapyard is right across Rogers. You know what you have to do.

There are 2 trees that have been knocked down by the wind and are leaning over the rail trail. They are held up only by branches of other nearby trees and it doesn't look like they are very stable. Area is on the southern end of the Bloomington Rail Trail, in an area of limestone embankments, prior to where it intersects with the Clear Creek Trail. I'm worried about the safety hazards these trees present to people using the trail if they fall. Thank you, Tony Watkins

About .5 mile into the rail trail is a large homeless camp (off Country Club) from the entrance. The sites continue to grow & pop up. There are multiple concerns with this. 1. Contamination with the water by litter, human waste, & drug paraphernalia. 2. Affects to wild life through trash & humans inhabiting their homes. 3. Land is affected by litter & drug paraphernalia such as glass pipes & needles. 4. There are safety concerns with children playing in the creek due to human waste & drug paraphernalia being in the water, they could get diseases from contaminated needles or step on glass pipes. 5. This is a dangerous location for the homeless as they are in a flash flood location. It has completely flooded out on 2020 & 2019. 6. Safety concerns with those using the trail or those who live in the neighborhood on the other side. One of our tenants contacted the police for fear of someone being outside of his home in the middle of the night. We have also noticed foot prints being outside the windows when there was snow on the ground. We can send additional photos it needed & have also reported to Rebecca Swift. I do believe others in the community are noticing & possibly reporting. Thanks Danny & Zella Taylor

On July 30 I reported a large bump in the B-Line. Although a few weeks later I observed that it had been flattened out, it is now raised up again. It is a 10 by 6-inch oval, 2 inches high. It is located between light pole numbers 6 and 7.

I'm at the north parking area for the Bloomington Rail Trail. It's my option that the regular parking spaces need to be marked in addition to the handicapped space. I know the lot is made of very nice brick and I hate to mark it up but people's parking is so haphazard without lines. Sometimes there is no parking without parking so close to someone that they can't get in or out of their car. Also the bushes need to be trimmed around the handicapped parking sign. It's there so it might as well be visible. Yes, I have seen cars parked there without handicapped tags. Thanks for your consideration, Steve
