402 N Rogers ST

Case Date:
6/25/2022

On Saturday, June 25, 2022, around 6:38pm I was heading from the Showers parking lot to the B-Line Trail heading towards Rogers St. As I am heading down the trail I noticed a guy (tall about 5'10"-6'2", muscular, tan skin, dark shirt, bald head) standing next to a bike up ahead and he kind of moved just enough for me to see he had like a really firm stance. He was talking on a phone in a foreign language. and watching me closely. I stopped. Looked behind me to see if anyone else was walking nearby. A few ladies on bikes zoomed past but other than that it's just me and the dude standing there. He whistled twice pretty loud and just stood there facing me. Not wanting to turn around and walk back because I'm unsure of where to go or what to do, I didn't want to just walk past him, I'm scared. Like I can just feel it is a bad situation. I used a smart watch to call a friend and told her my location and asked her to stay on the phone. That way she knows where I'm at and is listening as I continue walking down the trail towards Rogers St.. As I pass the guy he is like standing arms folded and intensly watching my every move and still talking on the phone in the foreign language. As I continued walking I looked back a few times. It felt like he was following me but far enough back to look like he was still stopped. I could feel he was following me though. So I get up to Rogers St and cross the road and immediately notice a guy on the trail just a bit further down. He too is standing next to a bike and talking on the phone in a foreign language. He had on a striped tank top which was white with small horizontal stripes. He waved towards my direction/the trail across Rogers St.. I glance back and see the first guy nod his head. The second guy is now slowly walking towards me. I at this point am turning and walking the sidewalk going up Rogers St.. Once I started walking up the sidewalk neither of the individuals followed. The second guy did stand by the B-Line trail and the sidewalk a few minutes watching me. This event truly shook me up and has caused me to have a panyattack upon getting inside my apartment at B-Line heights. I did not contact the police because of previous incidents being casually "humored" but nothing be done because there was no true harm or attack that took place. I figured that this would be treated with the same disregard and I didn't want to waste their time. However there needs to be more surveillance on this part of the trail I believe. With the greenery being abundant and the buildings through that section of the B-Line Trail it feels fairly seculded and isolated. I feel if it was move visible it might have discouraged the above event from happening.

I was attacked by a goose while biking on the new Tapp Rd trail. It was pretty vicious and knocked me over. I broke my ankle and will likely need surgery. These geese are aggressive and are likely to also hurt others

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.

I have a couple of concerns. One is when they have treated for invasive species on the portion of the trail I walk between Country Club and Gordon, there is nothing other than a sign. There is no indications of what areas have been treated, nothing is blocked off. I'm also concerned about the fact that there isn't a spot to throw away animal poo bags on the trail between Country Club and Gordon. I have seen several abandoned along the trail or the waste not being picked up at all.

Renwick trail is very over grown and narrowed path so that two way traffic is unsafe. Thanks for the pavement patches. Also, graffiti is back on the walls next to and under the tunnel of this trail.
