I'm so confused. You at least still park on south end of Cascades Park right, just not go further?

There are a couple of trees I am concerned about. They are on the parks property but are leaning towards my house. These are good sized trees that I am afraid would do considerable damage to my house and shed. I have reached out several times but unfortunately nothing has been done. I spoke with Lee Huff directly before he left his position with the city. He said they would take a look at it. I don't know if they did. Since then, the trail behind my house (where the trees are located) has had significant work done. I am afraid this may have compromised the root system and made the trees more unstable. Last spring, we had a number of trees fall in this area with a neighbors shed being a causality. I am hoping this can be taken care of so I don't suffer the same fate. Thank you for your time.

I would like to highlight what I believe to be one remaining safety concern along that B-Line bike path. It has to do with the bridge on Allen that crosses over the open drainage (right by the Traffic Division's garage). When approaching the bridge from either direction, there are significant gaps on either side where there is no barrier between the road and the drainage culvert. I am concerned that a cyclist -- perhaps one pulling over to allow a car to pass -- could misjudge their stopping distance and ride into the culvert. Additionally, there is no easy way for someone who does fall in to climb back out. I believe that the expense to fix this would be low. It appears that an attempt may have been made to create a curb at one point, but the work appears to be incomplete and not sufficient to stop a bicycle. However, something like a length of guardrail seems like it would be more than sufficient. Thank you for taking time to read my concern.
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
