MSI Security guard drove unsafely on the trail. He drove over the yellow line and nearly hit an oncoming trail user. Those security people drive like bullies on the B-line trail.

3rd report - 3rd week - same issue. Lights out on b-line trail between splash pad and pickleball at switchyard. Saw the security guys truck - does he not report these outages? When will it be fixed? You have closed two prior u-reports, but never fixed this issue.
This is the third time now that I have walked the B-line over the Patterson foot bridge to switch yard and all of the lights along the b-line between the two are out. This has always between the hours of sunset and 10 PM. I just worry it is hazardous because if someone was riding a bike, they could easily come up on someone they don’t see and hit them if either party doesn’t have a light. Of course, ideally people would have lights, but I’ve found they rarely do when walking the B-line especially in the early evening hours. I’m sorry I didn’t get numbers for the lights because there was about 30 in total. I was counting them but forgot about the numbers- the last one I saw that was out was BL 38 in switchyard, but literally every light from that to Patterson was out on both the north and south paths of the b-line. I hope it doesn’t seem like I am being a stickler reporting this multiple times. It’s just so dark in that stretch with no lights and the tree coverage, it feels rather dangerous in terms of potential accidental collisions. Thank you for looking into this matter! I have more pictures and a video too I could email you if that helps any?
The bench on the Creeks Edge path has collapsed. It's used regularly by Evergreen residents. It's directly east of the southernmost apartment building on Creeks Edge Dr and between the .25 and .5 mile markers on the path.
At 7:00pm tonight it was very dark along the B-Line trail with the lights out between the splash pad going north past the skatepark. BL 45, BL43, BL42, etc.
The B line lights along Rogers St just south of Patterson are also out… There are at least four in a row that have been out for at least a month maybe longer. They are on the west side of Rogers (kind of along the IU health building).
This is the second time in the past few weeks that I have walked the b-line over to switchyard and all of the lights are off when it’s after dark. Surely you are aware of this issue, but thought I would report it just in case… It’s a little bit dangerous in the section between Patterson and switchyard Because it’s so dark with all the trees. It would be easy to run into someone on the B-line.
The Hopewell Plaza is haphazardly plowed. Half the sidewalks are clear, half aren’t. Some crosswalks are clear and some aren’t. For something that’s supposed to be the “great new area” in the city, we’re doing a poor job of maintaining it for winter use.
There is a mound of snow blocking the pathway from the B-Line Trail please address this
Can the City go out to make sure the woods all along the entire length of the Rail Trail from Country Club to Gordon Pike are clear of homeless camps? These were all evicted previously and there may be people living on the City property again. This morning there were multiple men screaming and yelling obscenities at each other back in the woods along the trail. This is dangerous for everyone who uses the trail, as it is a secluded, wooded area that has had a ton of safety issues previously. This area has had fights, frequent searches for wanted people who have committed all manner of crimes, weapons have been found in those camps, and there was deemed to be a serious fire hazard. I have smelled some smoke recently, suggesting their may be illegal burning happening again. Do not let this problem continue, as it was already dealt with and needs to be routinely enforced. These encampments are a serious danger.
