634 N Maple ST

Case Date:
12/29/2020

Hello, Every day, people walk to the b-line through this area, that no one is sure if it belongs to someone's private property or the city. I write to inquire that if it is city controlled, to please install a friendly path to the b-line through this culdesac. It is dangerous for anyone trying to take the short cut to the bline. It is full of rocks and mud, and people still climb through it. I see this as a clear sign that an official entry passage should be enforced here, for everyone's safety and convenience in the neighborhood. Thank you.

Lamp post 134 on B-Line Trail appears to be out. This is a high-priority public safety issue as there have been assaults on this part of the trail recently.

A campsite has been created in the Griffy Woods, just south of the North-most entrance to the trail system on Dunn street (south of the top of the hill/Dam). A path has been cleared off of the trail to the campsite area and a large area has been cleared for the campsite. There is a tent set up with gear, etc. present.

A fence has been bent down over the B-Line near where it ends at Adams St. Along the top edge of the fence, is sharply pointed barbed wire. This is positioned above the trail precisely where it will catch a cyclist in his face causing severe injury. This is such a very dangerous situation that it should be taken care of with the highest priority.

I was biking on the B-line, heading south between Rogers and the Showers plaza. There was an MSI guy in one of those little cars they have in the right hand lane. The little car takes up the whole lane and he was driving slowly, which is fine, but I wanted to pass him. So I crept into the left hand lane, craning my neck to make sure there was no one oncoming while I passed. But while I was doing that, the MSI driver started to drift into the left hand lane as well! I didn't know what to make of that so I braked. As I tried to pass again, I tried calling out but I don't know if he heard me. Those things have right-hand drive, so he was on the opposite side of the car from me and as I crept past, it seems he was looking in his right mirror? Anyway please remind them to maintain their lanes or at least to look all around before deviating from their path. Thanks!

This description of the Clear Creek trail has two errors: 20.8 acres stretching 2.4 miles from Country Club Drive past Tapp Road to Church Lane, and connecting to the existing Bloomington Rail Trail. The trail does not start from Country Club, it starts from Tapp Road. It crosses both Rockport Road and That Road before getting to Church Lane.

1. That Rd. parking lot. There is a Sycamore tree at the far end, near the handicap parking space and the bicycle rack, that is really starting to lean to the northwest. The trunk is rotting/decaying and looks to be about a 1/3 gone. You may want to consider taking this tree down. 2.The 2 security lights at the Church Lane parking lot are not working. Would it be possible to have at least one of them turned on? This would be beneficial, especially now that the trail is being extended south of Church Lane. I'm assuming that there will be more foot/vehicle traffic in the near future. Thank you for your considerations. Bob Rosenberger 812-824-2169

Wildflowers along trail in Olcott Woods. I was saddened to find this spring that placing lights along this trail involved digging up a considerable amount of ground along the trail that has been home to many wildflowers. It is now covered with clumps of clay soil. Is something else going to be done to prevent erosion and ameliorate the loss of the plants?

This pile of trash is on the trail at Griffy that leads from Lanam Road to the creek. A few workers with wheelbarrows could remove it (once some downed trees on the trail are removed.)

These trees fell across the trail at Griffy that leads from Lanam Road to the creek. They are difficult to scramble over and need to be cut. They have been there awhile. They will need to be cut in order to remove the trash in my other ureport. There is another large tree near these that should probably be cut as well though it can be stepped over.
