The multi-use path along Country Club on the north side of the street between Rogers Street and Rockport Road needs some maintenance. There are tree branches and bushes obstructing the path. The surface is also dirty with debris, mud, and gravel.
There is tree that is knocked over on the B-Line just north of Dodds St.
where the Clear creek trail meets the B-line trail at the round-a-bout needs fill as there is a large mud hole developing.
Vegetation is encroaching on the Winslow Sports Complex running/walking trail throughout the west side. The east side was trimmed last week, but the west side was not addressed.
Fiber contractors did not tunnel deep enough when they crossed the B-Line (what a surprise!). In the section of the trail between 1st and Dodds there is now a sort of "speed bump" spanning the width of the trail pavement from where they crossed from one side to the other.
Similar to the previous case #193719, the new fiber optic cables that were installed have created speed humps along the Bline trail between Dodds and 1st. I've seen that this is to be repaired already, but I want to add another complaint point to ensure visibility. Additionally, south of the trail tree roots have begun to surface creating large bumps/uneven terrain closer to Dodds St. The roots were attempted to be repaired with crack sealer, but the bumps still exist.
Hello-- Once a week a group of us run on the Rail Trail...we are primarily a collection of faculty from IU who really enjoy the trails that P&R provide (THANKS). We are also truly a multi-generational group...with a couple of our members ALWAYS....and I do mean always....mentioning how nice they thought it was to see a plaque honoring George Heise and others near the bridge at the end of the Rail Trail. George was a longtime member of the Psychology department and a colleague/teacher for many in our group. So, they were very saddened to see that the plaque has been stolen. I've attached a picture of where it used to be, and hope you could find it in the budget to replace it. I'd appreciate a response. Thanks again. Rob
About a month ago on a Saturday, a group of kids from the baseball fields (spectators not players) were horseplaying unsupervised on the adult workout station. They were scooping the gravel from the workout area with their shoes and throwing it at each other and all over the adjacent trail. The trail in this spot remains covered with most of the gravel even a month later, presenting a hazard especially to those using the trail with a wheeled device (bike or walker, for example). Would it be possible to bring a broom and sweep the gravel back into the workout station and clear the trail? It is just north of the entrance to the park.
Pile of needles found along side of B Line trail this morning, Near the turn off to Butler Park and under the railroad crossing bridge
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.
