Sign near tennis courts that indicates that the loop is .9 miles but taking the small indent makes it a mile is broken off
I live right next to Bryan Park and walk my dogs there daily. Lately, there has been a noticeable increase in the amount of pet waste left uncollected by other dog owners. The middle path through the park is particularly bad. You can hardly go 10-15ft along the path without encountering a pile. I have stepped in several while moving out of the way for cyclists. I don’t have a good solution on how to fix this, people just aren’t picking up after their dogs and it’s becoming an issue.
Tree growing over trail, very unsafe for kids walking to school and bike riders.
There is a rotting deer carcass in the lake, right on the shore near the west north shore trail. I believe it was shot during the annual hunt but it was never collected. My sister is an ecologist and says that it should be removed from the lake to prevent e coli contamination. It is extremely pungent and can be located just by the smell. I have also tied a small green trash bag on a small tree along the trail, just uphill from the carcass.
Many street lights along the Polly Grimshaw trail are no working. The westernmost 2, the one west of the intersection with PEte Ellis, and all of them east of Pete Ellis. Some have dark lenses, and some are broken. Thank you for keeping our trail nice.
Erosion noted between 7th street and the bike path as it curves under IN 46. Not bad now, but going to cause a hazard as it gets worse.

The B-Line is icy and snowy. It is usually very well taken care of during the winter, but it is treacherous to ride in some sections. I understand that the temperatures are abnormally low, but compared to the roadway, it is a mess. I would expect at least some salt on it to help melt the ice and snow. Thank you for your help keeping this trail safe for users!
