Car broken into in Clear Creek Trail at Church Lane on Sunday, 3/26 at 2:15 pm. Two thieves, a man and a woman, smashed our drivers door window in the crowded lot, with people coming and going constantly. The sheriff told us this happens constantly in this lot. The escalation of crime in this lot needs deterrence. Why not put up cameras in the lot? Before someone is hurt, I believe cameras would deter these bold thefts before they escalate into robberies or worse.
Please review this article: https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/2023/03/30/falling-tree-kills-2-indianapolis-kids-parents-take-action/70055144007/ in today's HT regarding trees, limbs, etc., on trails. Although I'm so pleased with the work done on the Clear Creek and Limestone Trails during the year, during my bike ride yesterday, I noticed several vines, etc., that looked like they were about to fall off a tree. Not sure how you handle maintenance, but wanted to make you aware. If your staff takes a slow ride along the trail as they do from Country Club, they'll see what I'm sharing. Thank you.
A pet waste station is desperately needed at the intersection of Moravec Way and the B-Line. There are piles of uncollected pet waste all along the trail in this area, which I often step in while performing my Adopt-a-Greenspace duties. I suspect that folks would be more willing to bag up their pet's waste if there was a convenient disposal option here.
There are large trees across trails.
several large trees fell across west side of loop trails, near school and past

Recent storms have downed a lot of trees and sticks, not all trails are blocked but some are
I used the Highland address for Winslow Woods Park, but the problem is at the Azalea entrance. There is a large tree down across the trail (there was on Saturday, maybe you've taken care of it). Going further into the park, there is another tree down across the trail. It's been that way for over a week.
There are 2 trees that have been knocked down by the wind and are leaning over the rail trail. They are held up only by branches of other nearby trees and it doesn't look like they are very stable. Area is on the southern end of the Bloomington Rail Trail, in an area of limestone embankments, prior to where it intersects with the Clear Creek Trail. I'm worried about the safety hazards these trees present to people using the trail if they fall. Thank you, Tony Watkins
