The Polly Grimshaw Trail has shrubbery/trees over hanging such that one has to duck (at least) to avoid the branches while biking. This is especially a problem as it effectively makes the bike path one way in some locations. Please trim the branches to increase safety along the trail. Also, there is poisonous hemlock along the trail. It woudl be great to remediate that section of trail. Thanks!
You have paved the path to the waterfall at Cascades to make it more accessible, which is great! But then you blocked off the parking lot right near there so I have to park farther away. Even parking with my handicap tag in the small lot by the playground adds a significant distance between my car and the waterfall. It is difficult for me to walk this extra distance. Please re-think this plan!
Bloomington resident Sam Melchior (dsamuelm375@gmail.com) contacted me through an email message the following concern: " I would still appreciate a further response as the scooter and ebike problem continues to worsen. I have added ebikes due to the increased use of them on the Bloomington Rail Trail and the increased size and speed of these vehicles. They are extremely dangerous and damaging to the natural surface trail. Thanks." Please direct a response to Mr. Melchior via his email address dsamuelm375@gmail.com. Thank You, Pat Martin
The road/trail crossing at Moravec is dangerous due to bikes crossing at high-speed without regard to vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The bushes on southwest corner of this crossing also impeded visibility of bikes crossing at high speed. The trail should have speed limit signs for bikes/e-bikes and yellow yield signs.
Just wanted to say that I saw a worker/or volunteer(?) the other day on the Griffy Trail raking leaves off the trail. It was much appreciated and I appreciate the work being done! Makes walking the trail much easier!
Guardrail over B-line at 10th and N. Monroe has been left damaged after auto accident for 2 years. Abandoned bikes, grocery carts, bags of trash and camps are all collecting above trail. Cars speed up the road and it’s just a matter of time before another accident and the car goes onto the trail and injures somebody. Please fix the rail and cleanup. This has been reported and ignored ever since the accident. The debris left from the accident was cleared and cleaned by the neighborhood community. A sincere effort from the appropriate city departments to resolve this issue would be appreciated. We’re doing our part please do yours.
Huge thank you for the fix and needed improvement reported in case #181846. It has worked well during the last rains. Also, there is now less chance of frozen puddles creating slip and falls. Other trail neighbors, some elderly, are also appreciative!
NO CAMERAS AT TRAILHEAD. About a month and a half ago my friend and I parked at the Clear Creek Trailhead on Tapp Rd. We went running on a Sunday afternoon and when we got back she noticed her drivers side window was broken in and her purse was stolen out of her car. We reported it to the police at the time. Since then a group of us haven't used that trail for fear that our cars will be broken into, too. I am wondering if cameras could be installed at all the trailhead parking lots? Thanks.
B-line trail lights 83, 79, 22 and 12 are either off or very weak. I observed these around Oct. 1, 2022. My notes also say J223 is off but I can't recall where that is (could be typo in my notes). Thanks much.
A tree is across the Rail Trail at the south end near the roundabout.
