The mowing crew continues to blow debris onto my property from the b-link trail and they are mowing my property that has already been mowed. I've stopped them in the past and they had attitude when I asked them to blow up the hard surfaces. Please have them return and blow off all the clippings and tell them to do it the other direction, which seems to be common sense, going forward. Thank you. ~Lori @ Choice Realty
Lights are not working at nighttime. This has been ongoing now for almost 10 months. Respectfully, it should not be this difficult to turn lights on at nighttime. Please finally fix this.
Bike has been on Jackson Creek trail for almost two weeks. Still there this morning. Between Roher Rd and Sherwood Oaks Park.
Whoever is mowing the B-line up north of 7th St needs to slow down! Traveling and maneuvering way too quickly for a trail.
There is a gentleman who rides up and down the B-line in the picture attached, and is playing a song quite loudly through a speaker. I understand that speakers and inappropriate language cannot necessarily be reliably policed, but this has been occurring for several hours a day, several days a week, since at least June. The song he is playing is "POS" by Seuco and it is the only song, on repeat. It not only contains several occurrences of a man screaming "Shut the f*** up," but also includes themes promoting suicide, containing sexual content including the word masturbate, and degrades women. I encourage whoever is addressing or reading this complaint to at least read the lyrics, but listening will help understand the aggression and upsetting nature of the prior mentioned scream. While I understand this may seem nit-picky at first glance, his route includes switchyard park and around the children's parks. It feels disappointing that Bloomington works so hard to maintain a family friendly, accessible, and inclusive area and that he has not previously been approached about this or asked to stop. Or, if he has, he is obviously not maintaining this as he was observed doing this even today, 10/06, at 1pm. Can he please be asked to refrain from playing this song bare minimum, if not warned about using a speaker as loud as he is?
Homeless old women with yellow shopping cart on the B-Line trail by the Bloomingfoods constantly screaming, even during quiet hours at night and in the early morning. Very unpleasant deep screams that are concerning. She also says things like "You are going to die." She seems mentally unstable and like someone who needs some psychological assistance. It is concerning to walk on the B-Line trail when someone is screaming at you and feels unsafe. I know this women has been doing this for a while, yet the town is not doing anything about it.
Overgrowth between S Morton to West smith ave. Needs mowed badly. Previously this was dealt with every year but nothing this year. The Madison park community would like clear site line to the B-line trail.
The Bloomington Police need to start patrolling the trails (and all of town) for illegal electric motorcycle operation. At 8:35pm on 5/26/2026 I observed an illegal electric motorcycle narrowly miss hitting a pedestrian. The illegal electric motorcycle was traveling south bound on the B-Line from Kirkwood with two people on it at a high rate of speed. The motorcycle has no pedals. It is not a bicycle. The motorcycle did not slow down or stop before crossing 4th Street. A lady was walking from west to east on the sidewalk along the south side of 4th Street. The electric motorcycle was quickly approaching the pedestrian and the lady saw it just in time and was able to stop walking and narrowly miss being hit and severely injured. The illegal motorcycle did not try to avoid the collision. These illegal electric motorcycles cannot use the trail. The operators need to be issued tickets with fines and the motorcycles impounded and not returned. These motorcycles are operating recklessly and dangerously on trails, sidewalks, and streets. Please start removing these from our town before someone is seriously injured or killed by these motorcycles on our trails and sidewalks.
There has been a massive uptick in mostly young and teenage kids, mostly boys, riding on electric and gas powered bikes on the B-line at very high rates of speed that would not be safe even on a road. They pop wheelies, shout at pedestrians to get out of their way, and pose a huge safety risk. Why is there not an enforced rule on the kinds of vehicles that are not permitted on the B-Line? Surely it is illegal to drive a motor vehicle down the path?
