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.

This is a follow-up to case #164460, which was marked as "resolved", but has not been resolved. This is part of a group of trees decimated by Indiana Railroad that is currently hanging across the trail in Butler Park. The lights mentioned in case #164460 have not been repaired and all of the fallen trees both in the actual park area and in the adjoining Indiana Railroad property have not been touched.

I’ve been using the trails mainly Clear Creek for several years. I’m a bike rider plus walking. The Clear Creek trail seems to be ignored a lot in the last year or so. In the past couple of weeks we have had strong winds, some trees have blown down. The trees were removed in a timely fashion but the small limbs and debris from t/he clean up was left untouched. One area north of That Road and just north of the water fountain gravel and dirt continues to wash out onto the trail but nothing is ever done to resolve the problem. Walking is not as bad as biking but biking can be a real hassle. The trail gets so bad sometimes that I go to Karst Farm even though it’s not as convenient.
It seems a lot is being spent to develop the area south of Grimes and Clear Creek gets ignored. I see maintenance workers driving up and down the trail and they even sit and talk a lot but no one ever gets out of the vehicle to improve the trail when only a few minutes could make a big difference.
Thanks for your time.

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.

Hello! I’m a resident of 639 north maple street. On my dead end street, there is an untrimmed, unofficial entrance that MANY residents of the neighborhood access on a daily basis. However, the path that has been roughly paved by passerby’s is steep, rocky, untrimmed and dangerous, especially in rain or snow. Even in the summer, it is dangerous. Children and pregnant women have issues going through here. I have tried to enter the b-line this way, but it’s too dangerous and steep for me. Anyway we can get something done for the neighborhood? We know there’s a sidewalk and safer way after the bridge on 11th to access, but out of convenience or maybe ambiance, most people enter through our dead end makeshift entrance. The makeshift entrance seems to not be in a definitive tenants yard/property. No one really knows. If someone could come check it out, that’d be great and appreciated. Thanks! - Ruth

Lamp post 134 on B-Line Trail appears to be out. This is a high-priority public safety issue as there have been assaults on this part of the trail recently.

A large tree fell and completely blocked the B-Line trail today at lamppost 156 (next to the railroad overpass). I was able to carve out a path for pedestrians and cyclists but the remainder of the tree still needs to be removed. I'd also appreciate if crews could remove the nearby brush pile since it creates cover for rats and mice. Thanks!
