Just a question. There are three structures on the old goat farm by the Jackson Creek Trail. They're maybe 10-12 feet tall and 2 feet square. Can you tell me what they are? Are they some kind of bird nesting sites? Thanks for any help. -a curious walker
There is a light on a utility pole at the dead-end of S. College Ave. This dead-end location is used as access to the B-Line trail. Unfortunately, there have been car break-ins along this street. I own the home at 1605 S. College Ave. and we've had 2 car break-ins at this location. It appears that the thief is using the access to the trail as a dark and quick get-away. This light needs repaired to prevent crime in this area.
Two men got out of two black trucks parked at the entrance of the bike park(where it branches off of Weiner Road. They were in full camo and equipped with hunting equipment entering the Bike park property. Is there anything that can be done to ensure the safety of Bike park goers? Just seems a little unethical and dangerous for them to be hunting on the park land.
The Renwick Trail is very overgrown, limiting it to nearly half of its width in some sections. Weeds, bushes and trees need to be cut back to allow for safe use of the trail.
LED street light out at W. Allen and B Line trail crossing.
I'm at the north parking area for the Bloomington Rail Trail. It's my option that the regular parking spaces need to be marked in addition to the handicapped space. I know the lot is made of very nice brick and I hate to mark it up but people's parking is so haphazard without lines. Sometimes there is no parking without parking so close to someone that they can't get in or out of their car. Also the bushes need to be trimmed around the handicapped parking sign. It's there so it might as well be visible. Yes, I have seen cars parked there without handicapped tags. Thanks for your consideration, Steve
The east-west trail running through the middle of Bryan Park needs to be significantly wider. This is a critical connection in the signed Allen-Covenanter bike route, but very awkward to ride on. Passing even a single person walking (not to mention groups, dog-walkers, kids, etc) is uncomfortable for all parties. When I come up behind someone am I supposed to ask them to walk in the grass or do I make them feel like they're in the way by trying to bounce around them in the grass? I'd avoid it, but the alternatives of either Grimes or Maxwell are scary. Please widen this connection to make it functional and comfortable for both transportation and recreation purposes. Thank you!
On July 30 I reported a large bump in the B-Line. Although a few weeks later I observed that it had been flattened out, it is now raised up again. It is a 10 by 6-inch oval, 2 inches high. It is located between light pole numbers 6 and 7.
There was evidence that someone is trying to live in the woods on the northern section of the NL trail at Griffy Lake. I hiked parked of this trail 8/26/16 and saw what seemed to be the beginnings of a make shift shelter as well as various Styrofoam to go containers scattered throughout this part of the trail. There was a man who was clearly not on a recreational hike on the NL trail who we saw multiple times before we decided to turn back and head towards the NS trail. The man had long brown hair, was clearly dirty and smelled strongly. He was young (less than 40 years old). We saw him several times on different parts of the NL trail and it was clear he was not hiking the trail in a linear fashion (possibly going of trail to cut to a different part?). The presence of this man plus the food containers/shelter seemed very suspicious and VERY unsafe for recreational hikers. Please have someone take a look out there to clean up the trash/take down the shelter. I have a attached an image marking the location of the food/shelter. Feel free to contact me with additional questions/concerns.
The trail behind city flats at Fenwick is really overgrown. Is this city or private property?
