A few weeks ago, I noticed that there were some limestone slabs put on the rail trail entrance near Gordon Pike to keep away the cars that I had seen driving back there. Then I went on a run with my dad back there and we noticed that all of the tents seemed to be gone. I was excited that it seemed like that area was being cleaned up, however people are back to living on the newer trail that runs parallel to the rail trail. There have been only two incidents where I have tried to run on the rail trail and turned around both times because I felt unsafe. Both times, I heard someone yelling sounding agitated from the encampment on the trail. I would love to run on the Rail Trail because it is a beautiful trail and perfectly shaded for hot summer runs, but I just don't feel safe. I realize that this is a bigger issue to solve, but it is just frustrating to me that I cannot utilize that trail, even if I am with someone else, because I just don't feel safe. It is disappointing that Bloomington has beautiful parks and trails that people don't want to use because they feel unsafe.

Someone has cut a hole in the railroad fence in this approximate location on the Grimshaw Trail. The picture shows the hole and the insert is the nearest utility pole to the east of the damage.

Sign near church lane points to trailblazer challenge on OuterSpatial but only thing under challenges is about fishing We believe the sign mentioned is located where the Clear Creek Trail turns into the Limestone Greenway. The Trailblazer Challenge yard sign belongs to Monroe County Parks and Recreation, who also use the OuterSpatial mobile app. Monroe County Parks has not updated their app challenges in a while. Nat Resources Coordinator Rebecca Swift contacted Monroe County Parks Assistant Director John Robertson so he is aware outdated yard signs are still out on their trails.

Barrel and cones in the creek instead of warning of utility poles and guy wires.

There were two big barrels on the north side of a utility pole. One of them is down by Rhorer Road; the other one is near where it's supposed to be but close to the creek rather than by the pole.

This mileage sign for walkers heading northwest on the Clear Creek Trail is totally unreadable. It is across from the hopscotch court on the little learning trail just south of That Road. Cheap to replace! I think it is meant to mark 0.5 mile point from the roundabout where CCT intersects with the Bloomington Rail Trail. We walkers like to know how far we’ve traveled! FYI the pavers under several of the benches on the trail are loose and could also use some work.

This mileage sign at top for people walking northwest on Clear Creek Trail is nearly unreadable and incorrect. Needs replacement. It barely says 1 mile from Tapp Road roundabout. It is actually 1 mile from the CCT/Bloomington Rail Trail intersection roundabout. The bottom sign is pretty worn as well.
