Can the City buy a leaf blower for the person who mows alone Sheridan and Southdowns east of Bryan Park? I noticed from Manor to Woodlawn on Sheridan the bike/pedestrian path is covered in grass clippings. This can be very dangerous for bicycles, as it can be very slippery and cause accidents. If the City properly equipped the employees, this could get cleaned up. This is not the first time I've noticed it. And the clippings sit for days and don't get removed. Finally reporting it. Let's make it safe out there!

Lights along the B-Line are out: 45, 46, 47, 77, 110, 121, and 139 need fixing! And now #60, too. And yet more, now 94. Wondering what the percentage of lights not working needs to be before they get fixed.

High winds during a thunderstorm on the evening of 7/5/23 caused large tree branches on the trail of RCA park to fall onto my fence. There is also a callery pear tree that almost exclusively hangs over the fence into my yard that I would like removed, if possible.

The lights on light pole #150 on the north end of the B-line are out. It looks like someone may have interfered with the wiring to that pole.

The detour for the B-Line Trail around Switchyard Park right now (10/22/2019) is a product of shortsighted planning, a lack of anticipation of user experiences, and just illogical. When coming from the north, the detour turns you to the west on a small gravel path and leads to a street - W. Hillside Drive. There are no signs after leaving the B-Line that indicate there is a planned detour route. My assumption is to go on the multi-use path on the west side of Rogers. Good luck getting over there in rush hour traffic on a bicycle. No one on Rogers stops for bicycle or pedestrian traffic trying to cross the street. Why would the detour not go on the multi-use path on the north side of Grimes to Rogers? A sidewalk is in place to get from the B-Line (just north of the bridge) to the Grimes path and then use the light to cross Grimes and Rogers to get on the Rogers path. That is what I will do from now on with my logical thinking that the City did not use in setting up the detour. Also, the accessibility issues with the detour as it is now seem questionable at best, and unsafe otherwise. After you cross Rogers and get on the multi-use path to head south, the journey is far from smooth sailing. That path is woefully maintained and clearly not prepared to be the detour of the B-Line Trail. The trail bed has gravel, sand, and glass on it, among other debris. Multiple points along the path have overgrown bushes and tree limbs that present a hazard. The City's detour signs should read: Good Luck to All Who Pass. Thanks for creating a fun adventure on the commute home today. Nothing like leaving the safety of the B-Line to enter a world of traffic, debris, and obstructions. Well thought out. But, what else do we expect in a city that notoriously fails at detours and construction projects? Not on time and clearly out of the way. I'll drive tomorrow for my own safety.

Bicyclists, skateboarders who pass walkers unannounced, catching.walkers off guard and nearly grazing them. Some shout "Passing on the left", which I always acknowledge. But, too few do so. I suggest signs along trails to affirm and require this simple act of trail etiquette. We are frequent walkers on the B-line and we think Switchyard Park is a wonderful addition to Bloomington. Thank you.
