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?
The port-o-let in the parking lot for Clear Creek Trail off Church Lane has been damaged. It looks like it's been hit by a vehicle. The door is hard to latch and there's a large gap between the back and right side panel giving a peeping tom clear visual access inside. I noticed this on Friday, 9/1, someone else may have already reported this. Thank you.
there is a broken board on a bridge on south side of park.
fallen tree at the entrance to rca trail by starview lane, 2 spots with trail blocked by fallen trees
Large trees fell across trails in multiple places, west side near highway, east side not far from parking lot.
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.
Observed a drum (as in musical) situation in the creek just south of the Switchyard skate park. Can see the drum from the newer path/metal overlook bridge.
Case #179848 is marked closed and labeled as resolved though it never was. Problem is still a problem and has been since originally reported. People traveling east bound are forced to use wrong side of trail if they don't want muddy shoes, slip or fall as they walk or run. Also, people on bikes or using strollers traveling east bound use wrong side of trail because of risks due to poor maintenance. Then, those traveling west bound, walking running or riding have routinely been forced off trail towards Moores Pike (very narrow grassy seperation there) or have a head on collision with those using wrong side of trail. Please remove silt, mud, gravel, etc. Please dig out a channel so it can drain properly in the future. Thank you.
Hi, It seems there maybe miscommunication within the chain of command or not a 100% buy-in to "best practice" or a little of both. Report #181846 described a problem and its location. Unfortunately the problem has not been addressed in any way. However, it does look as though some one came through with a leaf blower and cleared the cypress leaves that had covered the trail further up towards Southeast park, next to tennis court entrance and wood post. I do very much appreciate that as the the pavement is very bumpy there in the corner and can cause loss of control of bike or scooter as well as trip walkers. I don't have construction experience but have used a shovel in the yard and that is probably all it would take. Just a shovel and one person to remove some soil blocking the current grade from working properly. If that isn't the solution how about adding a thin layer of pavement so runoff goes the other direction. I believe this was done on Renwick trail, there are patches of pavement here and there. Thanks for your help with this.
