Would it be possible to turn this bench around so people can sit and watch the chickens, goats, and sheep that are part of the Boling Family Farm animals that are behind this bench on the Clear Creek Trail just past on the other side of Rockport Rd? Many people walk by here and enjoy watching the animals. It would be great for oldsters like me to be able to sit down on this bench and enjoy watching them. Thank you
The bike path along Sare Road south of the intersection with Olcott is rapidly deteriorating due to continuous water flow over the path that washes dirt, branches and rocks onto the path. Something needs to be done to divert this water away from the path. In the winter the water freezes, leaving the path coated with a sheet of ice. Very dangerous for bikes and pedestrians.
The walking path/trail along Sare Road has been overgrown with weeds and growth all summer long. It's now narrowing the trail in certain areas so much that it's almost one way. This has caused issues with bicycle riders and walkers as well as trouble maintaining social distancing. It would be great if the sides of trail could be trimmed like the Creeks Edge Path. Thank you.

The city website page on Jackson Creek is out of date and does not reflect the completed extension to Rhorer Rd. I could not find updated maps, and Google Maps also does not reflect the change despite the new trail being visible on aerials.

On June 4, 2024, the Bloomington Police were on the Rail Trail with their patrol cars for a disturbance / argument at a homeless camp around 11:45am. On June 5, 2024, around 7:45am the Monroe Fire Protection District was on the Rail Trail for some sort of fire related issue at a homeless camp. This is on the Rail Trail north of Gordon Pike and south of Country Club Drive, in the Terrace Drive vicinity and to the east of the trail in the woods. Can the City clear ALL of the homeless camps along the Rail Trail between Country Club and Gordon? The ongoing threat to public safety in 2024 that the City allows along this trail is asking for problems. The City must put an end to this now before someone gets harmed.
Just before 10am on June 6, 2024, the same group from U-report 188774 are arguing yet again out in the woods along the Rail Trail. 2 or 3 people are shouting and cussing at each other. This has been going on for 20+ minutes this morning and is starting to be a regular, daily occurrence now. This is annoying to nearby property owners and frightening to trail users. Clear these homeless camps out, from Gordon Pike to Country Club Drive. The City's inaction along the Rail Trail is allowing the problem to not just continue, but grow ever since the Switchyard camps were cleared and more people moved south. This is a threat to the safety of everyone in the area, and dangerous for the homeless camp residents as it is a challenging area for police to respond to quickly if situations escalate.
The morning of June 15, 2024, around 6:30am the Monroe Fire Protection District was out on the Rail Trail for a fire at the homeless camps north of Gordon Pike on City owned property. The City should not be allowing the homeless to openly burn material back in the woods there. The fire department cannot easily get their equipment back into the wooded area to deal with fires at the homeless camps.
