Run each morning next to the mall and the Latimer woods and there have been homeless encampments in the wooded area of Latimer woods for 3-4 months now. This morning it had a more unusual foul smell than usual, like the smell of something/someone dead. There is broken glass and trash throughout the woods and coming out of that area as well
The Rail Trail south of Country Club has some issues. There are large divots/depressions in the trail from the trees that fell in the June storms and the clean up. These depressions are difficult to see on the trail and are big enough and deep enough to be quite jarring on a bicycle. I imagine a runner or walker could get injured stepping into an unexpected hole as well. There are at least 3 or 4 of these depressions on the Rail Trail. Can the city get these leveled out? Please use a filler or fine gravel that matches the trail, not some large gravel sizes as have been done in the past on the Rail Trail repairs that create other issues.
On the jackson creek trail between Olcott Park and Sherwood Oaks there is a large dead tree limb from the recent storm hanging over the trail.
Tree cleanup needed in the creek alongside the Clear Creek Trail between That Road and Church Lane. There were trees at various locations that fell into the creek from the trail side that the city owns. These trees cause a potential flood hazard and need to be removed. I spoke with City of Bloomington Stormwater and MS4 Coordinator and they referred me to report this to Parks and Rec to take care of the issue.
There is a tree that looks like it is bending over the pathway. And I don’t know how strong it is, but if it does rain, I’m concerned about the safety of that tree landing on somebody.
There is a small pot hole developing on the BLine trail heading West on the right side moving West. It's just about half way between Fairview St. and Moravec Way. Dangerous for all community members! Small now, but soon to be larger as pot holes go!
See the picture. Trail connecting the Grimshaw Trail to the 7th St Greenway is partially obstructed by invasive overgrowth in a curve near the Greenway, east of the tunnel. Also, around the corner to the north about 10 yds. it needs a trim back as well. Thanks.
4th Street trail between Roosevelt and Bryan is overgrown and difficult to walk on path due to overgrowth.
