Dell Douglas called this morning to voice her concerns about bicycles on the paths and sidewalks at Bryan Park. During the past 3 years she has noticed more dangerous conditions due to the speed of bikers on the paths in the park. Most recently, she was walking far to the right on the path near the stream and a family on bicyles nearly ran into her. They were moving so quickly she was unable to say anything to them. She feels there is more disregard for pedestrians walking in the park and is afraid someone will suffer serious injury if things don't change.
She would appreciate a call back from Mick after 6/14. Phone: 339-1137

Large poison ivy is growing at the entrance to the rails to trails path. Specifically, it is on the fence on the East side/corner of the parking lot, along the sidewalk - growing out, towards the sidewalk. I know what it is (and to avoid it), but not everyone would. Could it be sprayed to kill it? (One time when I think the weed is worse than the poison needed to remove it!) Thank you.

I see that the Winslow trail around the baseball/softball fields is being upgraded. I've heard it will be widened and paved.
Please be sure to put up a sign to remind bicyclists to yield to walkers--the sign you posted on the Jackson Creek Trail would be great. I walk this path 2 times a day. And lately too often bicyclists just plow down the trail expecting walkers to clear out of the way, even when they come upon a walker from behind.

I am wondering about the wind fall limbs in local parks, am I allowed to pick it up and take it home for my fire place???? Also when the City cuts down trees what happens to the wood??? Thank you for you time. I have lived in many places and Bloomington has some of the best parks I have seen. Thank you for that

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!

There's a section of the paved path in the low part of the Rev Butler park that is totally blocked by leaning and fallen trees and grapevines. They make the path impassable.
Thanks for looking into this.

The pressure in the water fountains in Sherwood Oaks Park, where the B-Line crosses Country Club Road, and the water fountain next to the Second Street Kroger is low. Does anyone check to see if the fountains are working properly? I almost have to lick the faucet like a dog to get a drink of water.
