Is it possible to get a list/schedule of herbicide sprayings in Southeast park?
The page https://bloomington.in.gov/parks/trails/southeast-trail is blank. I'd like to see a map of what constitutes this trail. E.g. does it follow the creek bed and end at Sare road?
I’ve been hiking this trail for years with my dog. Other dogs give her anxiety, especially large ones. There are signed posted at the entrances to the trail informing people they must keep their dogs leashed. Almost every single time we take this hike we encounter at least one unleashed dog. We always pick up our dog And our toddler and step off the trail but many times the unleashed dog Approaches us and with our hands full we have no way to defend ourselves. It’s getting to the point where we Can only bring our dog on hikes if it’s very very early in the morning before anyone arrives there. We have tried politely asking people to please keep their dogs leashes but it is clearly not working. We very much need someone ministering the griffy hiking trail. We have many dog parks for dogs off leash. I don’t take my dog there, because she would be frightened, and that’s OK. We take her to the griffy trail because the dogs are supposed to be leashed. PLEASE help. We’ve had dogs jumping up and nipping at our dogs feet and really terrifying our child while he’s strapped to my back (which we do Often because of all the unleashed dogs as well)
After the last heavy rain in Bloomington, I noticed a large tree next to Jackson Creek on The Goat Farm is going to fall. The roots are showing and the tree is leaning over the creek water. It looks very dangerous because sometimes the children come to play in the water and they may get hurt. If no action is taken, the tree will fall down into the water and block the creek water flowing and cause more damage later. Please see the picture attached above.
On the Jackson Creek Trail between the roundabout at Sherwood Oaks Park and the Rhorer Road bridge, it would be nice to have some creek access points (minor trail spurs cut through), similar to those existing near the Sherwood Oaks Park.
Some gravel washed onto the Jackson Creek Trail near the north end and needs to be removed
One of the fence posts along the Polly Grimshaw Trail has become loose at the bottom. The post is noticeably wobbly as is the fencing in that area. My guess is that the post rotted out approximately where it goes underground and needs replaced. Please address this issue now so that the fence doesn't fall down in this area.
Hello, I work for a local property manager, Mackie Properties. Our company manages a homeowners association called Madison Park located north of W Howe St, in between S Madison St and S Morton St. I was recently informed that the plants along a section of the B-line just east of Madison Park are becoming overgrown and would benefit from being trimmed. I've included photos of the relevant area, as well as a map of the area outlining the overgrown section with a red rectangle. Would it be possible for the City to trim up this area before the overgrowth gets too big? Thank you very much for your time, and please contact our office with any questions or updates.
There is a birch tree vandalized with racist hate. Vertically, in large letters, is the N word and above it is carved the initials of the KKK. I hope something can be done to erase this message of hate from this beautiful bike trail. To find the vandalized tree, start at the parking lot with the yellow gate and take a left, through the grassy field with the pile of logs to the right. Continue the trail until you get to what I call the staircase of roots. At first, the birch tree in question will be to the right, but to see the hateful message, you'll have to turn around so it is to your left.
A tree on southside of road, between gate and parking lot, has partially fallen and is hung up on a tree on northside of road. Leaning enough to possibly prevent vehicles with bikes on top from going past.
