Please remove the Callery Pear trees. They are an invasive species and they smell bad. Please don't subject us to them next Spring, too.

There are a couple of trees I am concerned about. They are on the parks property but are leaning towards my house. These are good sized trees that I am afraid would do considerable damage to my house and shed. I have reached out several times but unfortunately nothing has been done. I spoke with Lee Huff directly before he left his position with the city. He said they would take a look at it. I don't know if they did. Since then, the trail behind my house (where the trees are located) has had significant work done. I am afraid this may have compromised the root system and made the trees more unstable. Last spring, we had a number of trees fall in this area with a neighbors shed being a causality. I am hoping this can be taken care of so I don't suffer the same fate. Thank you for your time.
The tail's light with number 152 is out on the B-Line Trail. Thank you for such a great trail and for all the maintenance that is done.
Hello, I'd like to suggest that the city pave the Bloomington Rail Trail connecting the B-Line to Clear Creek Trail. This would make it much safer and better for bicyclists (especially commuters). Currently, the gravel is too deep in some places and not present at all in others. Also, some of the posts at the entrace to the Rail Trail after crossing roads are too close together for a bike with a trailer to safely maneuver. This is especially true when crossing S Rogers near Baywood Drive. We broke our bike trailer there.
Tree trunk partially fallen and suspended across Renwick Trail at SouthEast Park
My son rides his bike there (as do tons of people, I'm sure), it's his only means of transport. He rides the B-Line bike trail to and from work. He keeps running over nails, which makes me think someone threw a bunch on the trail maybe. Would it be possible to sweep or check the bike trails for nails? I wasn't sure who to contact , so starting here. Thank you so much.
If you park in the handicapped parking off Henderson, near the handicap playground, and cross the bridge to the trail that leads to Woodlawn, there is a small hole in that pavement just past the bridge. It's big enough to catch my front walker wheel. Until the other day I always managed to notice it and avoid it, but that day falling leaves had hidden it, and I forgot all about it. Until, that is, my walker wheel fell into it. Fortunately, I managed not to fall and was able to continue walking, but my bones break very easily. I beg you to fill this little hole. As I said, it's just past the bridge, on the way to the walking trail. Thank you.
A tree was blown over. It is currently leaning over the trail, and it seems as though it could fall onto the trail at any time. It's just north of where the small pedestrian bridge is located.
THANK YOU for keeping the path clear of leaves this fall. It has enhanced our walk each day. We also appreciate the two new "bridges" across the path where water used to stand. Very nice. I'm wondering if the southern most "bridge" will get a railing of some kind. It seems a little precarious for walkers who might lose their balance. Thanks for considering this safety feature.
On west side of b line between kirkwood and sixth. This handrail goes up against the very edge of the b line, exactly at handlebar height for cyclists. This is a congested part of the b line where it is often necessary to ride at the very edge of the path. It presents a hazard to cyclists. Engineering standards as well as Bloomington City planning documents indicate there should be a foot and a half "shy zone" clear of obstructions at the edge of the path. At the city budget hearings a few months ago parks and rec director testified to the council that Parks and rec does follow engineering guidelines on the b line however I do not believe this handrail qualifies. Can we please get some safety.
