porta potty has no toilet paper and desperately needs to be pumped.
Porta Potty's on both ends of these trails need cleaned. From Tapp to That rd.
The entire length of the Clear Creek Trail from Tapp Road to Church Lane needs serious tree trimming work. The number of branches obstructing the path is quite high all throughout the trail. It's dangerous as people dodge branches.
Hi! I was wondering if there might be any plans, long-term or short-term, for devising a somewhat less death-defying way for the Bloomington Rail Trail to cross Rogers Road (between Gordon Pike and That Road). Especially if you are on the Trail traveling south, because of the angle at which the Trail crosses Rogers, it is nearly impossible to see oncoming north-bound traffic. I am a long-time user of the trail (for more than 15 years), and have crossed Rogers at that point countless times, on foot and on my bicycle, as there really was no other option. Lately, however, I have been using the new “spur” trail, and crossing through to That Road using the construction staging area for the “SOMO” development, so that I can then cross Rogers at a 90° angle, with a clear view of traffic. That is a less-harrowing way to cross Rogers, of course. But it is not clear to me that the spur trail will continue to access That Road after the “SOMO” development is fully built out. And, using this method does mean that I have to use the traffic lane over the narrow bridge where That Road crosses over Clear Creek before I can re-join the Rail Trail headed south. It seems to me likely that traffic on this part of Rogers will increase when the Gordon-Fullerton connector is completed next month, exacerbating the situation. So, this is not an emergency of any kind. But just a query to see if the City has any plans to address the issue. Thank you for your time, and for all the good work that you do.
From the bridge of Tapp Road, the trail is overgrow along the creek/ parking lot narrowed.
Near the Clear Creek Trail parking lot off of Tapp Rd there are two large pieces of limestone stacked just north of the bike rack. Just under the far right bottom corner of the lower rock is an entry point for a yellowjacket nest. There was a lot of activity with the afternoon sun, with at least 15-20 yellowjackets seen flying around and entering the opening.
There is a watering station for humans and dogs located on the Clear Creek Trail, 1/6th of a mile south of the Gordon Pike overpass. The button for the dog watering part of the station is sticking, resulting in the water continually running. This was observed Thursday, September 11 at 8:40 a.m.
Just wanted to thank you for cleaning the trail today. It was much appreciated!
