Hello.
I am a regular user of the Bloomington Rail Trail. I love the trail, however, recently the trail was altered in a way that is dangerous and less than ideal for running, walking, and biking.
The original surface was recently disturbed with new material which was applied unevenly and makes it hazardous or impossible to run and bike on. I have seen several minor accidents and suspect more are occurring. I know several in the fitness community that are unhappy with the recent changes to the trail.
I would appreciate any info on why this change was made and if there are any plans to improve the situation.
Thank you!

I wanted to ask the city to consider re-repairing the section of the Rails to Trails trail between the roundabout near Church Lane and Country Club road.
Whoever attempted to "repair" that section several weeks ago either did not know what they were doing or did not care. I actually watched them put the initial layer of loose gravel down and it was obvious that the workers had never done that kind of thing before on a trail.
The loose gravel used to "repair" some low spots has become a "death trap" for unsuspecting bikers. I am an experienced biker and almost went down on my mountain bike.
An attempt was made to cover this loose gravel with a mixture of crushed and packed limestone, but that has become a bumpy mess.
PLEASE get someone to properly repair this section before someone is seriously injured.

Hello, I'm interested in filling out an adopt-a-trail application on behalf of students I work with at the College Internship Program Bloomington, but the adopt-a-trail application form wouldn't load!
Please advise.

A board of the fence along Polly Grimshaw Trail immediately adjacent to the basketball court in Park Ridge Park has come off and is in need of repair.

on the b line trail, on the east side just south of
lamp post 7, there is a piece of rebar sticking up
about 1" out of the gravel. This is a hazard.
I expect you could use a small sledge and a punch of
sorts to push it well below the surface.
