If you park in the handicapped parking off Henderson, near the handicap playground, and cross the bridge to the trail that leads to Woodlawn, there is a small hole in that pavement just past the bridge. It's big enough to catch my front walker wheel. Until the other day I always managed to notice it and avoid it, but that day falling leaves had hidden it, and I forgot all about it. Until, that is, my walker wheel fell into it. Fortunately, I managed not to fall and was able to continue walking, but my bones break very easily. I beg you to fill this little hole. As I said, it's just past the bridge, on the way to the walking trail. Thank you.

On west side of b line between kirkwood and sixth. This handrail goes up against the very edge of the b line, exactly at handlebar height for cyclists. This is a congested part of the b line where it is often necessary to ride at the very edge of the path. It presents a hazard to cyclists. Engineering standards as well as Bloomington City planning documents indicate there should be a foot and a half "shy zone" clear of obstructions at the edge of the path. At the city budget hearings a few months ago parks and rec director testified to the council that Parks and rec does follow engineering guidelines on the b line however I do not believe this handrail qualifies. Can we please get some safety.

West side of b line just south of sixth street. Planter blocking path, restricting effective width of b line to about six feet. The path was engineered to a ten foot width, and parks and rec director testified to council that b line conforms to engineering standards. Did an engineer sign off on this path width restriction right at its most congested point?

Hi - This structure was built directly on the path that connects Henderson and Walnut. It does not appear to be safe or legal for people to live here.

Even on trails where there is no room for social distancing, maybe half the people there wear no masks--and no surprise, because the city has not posted a sign at the park to say to do so. I've reported this by phone to no avail. Does the city even care if people wear masks? Why is so little done to encourage it? Why do so many city workers work close to each other, often close to people out walking, without masks?

What regulations govern the Bloomington Rail Trail? It is classified as "multi-use" and there are to be no motorized vehicles on it. However that's about all we know about the kinds of "use" the trail can accept. Can you point me to the rules governing this portion of the trail? Thank you very much! —Michael Regoli

I’ve reported this before, but there’s a homeless man cutting down trees and trashing the BLINK. He has been hammering things constantly all night. If you’re walking from south walnut towards south Henderson street along the trail, you’ll see his shelter on the right. He has been leaving trash alongside both sides though. Is it okay for him to be cutting down all of the nature that some of us would like to enjoy? I have to avoid walking my dog in the grass in that area due to the trash he has left.
