Wonderful, 1st walk down 9 mile creek. Questions are there nature walks to identify plants? Would it be possible to identify plants with a small sign similar to Mpls. Wild Flower Garden? Can we interest the Audobon Society to schedule events? Has a bird list been made? I heard a Pileated (sp) woodpecker today. I'm living at 9 mile senior Living… can I hep in some way?
Who weed-whacked the day lilies along the B Line, between Rogers and City Hall?
Graffiti on the B Line. Behind Le Petit Cafe and Bloomingfoods, there is some new and hateful graffiti. It would be nice to have it gone by the next Farmers Market!
Bike trail from college dropping into cascades, right st college. Significant and harsh bump could use just a bit of asphalt. Thanks. Tom Zeller

I am a frequent user of the Jackson Creek trail and connector up to Olcott Park. The trail just east of the bridge between Sherwood Oaks and Olcott has had drainage problems from the start, but they have steadily become worse, and now this section of the trail is not only messy, flooded and muddy, but to the point of being dangerous. I attach a picture of the mud accumulation on the trail at the bottom of the hill that students returning home from JCMS often ride with their bicycles. This mud is very slick, and it surely just a matter of time before a serious accident happens. I have another picture showing the mud accumulation right by the bridge, which is also an issue. Some effort to control the drainage form the east would solve this problem. Thanks. Arthur
I often walk my dog on the trail. About every afternoon the Lighthouse Christian School has a large group of kids running on the trail. They seem to take over the trail. I was just wanting to know if every school in Bloomington did this who would the trail belong to? The public for walking, ect. or to the schools? Seems to me that if you let one school all of them could take advantage of this. I do not like to be walking and have to step aside for a group of jogging kids!
Good afternoon, I am a Bloomington local who has an issue with smokers on the B-line. The B-line is designed as a fitness path, in addition to being a transportation path. I run frequently on the B-line and my runs are consistently clouded with smokers on the B-line. Anyone who runs knows, especially when well into your run, each breath is crucial to keeping your pace and to keeping on track. When you are approaching a smoker on the B-line, there is nowhere to run to avoid them and you can’t simply hold your breath until you pass. A big part of Bloomington is a community that promotes healthy living. I think that the environment of the B-line should reflect that and be one of health and positivity, not drinking, smoking and disturbing others. This is my first attempt at reaching someone about an issue with the B-line, so if there is a more appropriate area or person I should contact, please let me know. I am not sure what the appropriate action could be, possibly signage that establishes the path as a no smoking area. I often feel compelled to say something to the smokers when I pass but I don’t have anything to back up my protestation. If I could point to a sign or if they obviously had seen 15 signs saying no smoking on the trail, they would know what they were doing was wrong. I look forward to hearing back from you on this issue. Sincerely, Lindsey LINDSEY HARMON Regulatory Affairs Specialist- Latin America Cook Inc. 750 Daniels Way P.O.
