Hello! I am a representative of the Bloomington Highlands HOA, and it has been a concern of many neighbors in our neighborhood that people are parking along our streets to access the Clear Creek trail. It is especially problematic at the entrance to our neighborhood along W. Hennessey St. and up S. McDougal St. Could Parks and Rec post signage along the trail and within our neighborhood explaining that parking is permitted at the trail entrance and not within our neighborhood? Thank you for any assistance you can provide. Kind regards - Anna Bragin; Member At Large; Bloomington Highlands HOA

Hello, Monroe Parks & Rec,
This is just an FYI and hopefully an appeal for help. I contacted the sheriff’s office on Sunday, March 29, 2020 and since then the camping site looks to have expanded and the trash in the creek and along the road has increased.
If you begin at the parking lot on Country Club and walk south on the gravel road that runs parallel to the trail, it takes about a 4-5 minute walk south to arrive at the spot. It is past the brush and next to the creek. There is a small orange tent and a large blue/green structure (I didn’t get too close), there is also something large in the creek that looks like bedding.
Thank you for any help! My personal email is <patwooie@yahoo.com>

I was walking my dog this morning on the trail at Winslow and High (I call it the goat farm, but am not sure if this is the correct name). There are signs all over about Pesticide use stating that it was applied on Wednesday and should be avoided until Saturday. Yesterday when I was walking my dog these signs were not posted yet and he (and I think many other neighborhood dogs) went in that area. I am concerned that the signs were not posted earlier as I would not have gone there to walk my dog. In the future could you post signs alerting that this will be done as well WHEN it is done?

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.

Here is the content of the email we received at the Mayor's office. "The electric company’s tree trimming crew was recently working along the B-Line trail and they left a lot of debris in the storm water ditch. Along with the debris that was already there, the ditch is now clogged such that water overflows and floods the trail. This is close to light pole number 83, a short distance south of the driveway that connects the convention center parking lots (i.e., a short distance north of Second Street). It would be a simple matter for two workers with shovels and a truck to clear the debris out of the ditch."

Customer called in to Parks and Recreation office complaining about shrubbery on the B-Line trail blocking the yellow flashing light warning drivers of bikers. He did not want to write in a complaint, insisted I do it, because he is a senior and he wanted to report the issue via his landline.
