I own the Bicycle Garage on Kirkwood Ave next to People's Park. On June 8th the trees that are next to my property were trimmed and it seems a branch that is dead was not removed and is in a very precarious position above our back gate. This can fall at a moments notice. I have attached pictures.
One of the two infant swings is broken in Schmalz Farm Park. The broken swing is unsafe and has very sharp edges for little children. Hopefully the swing can be replaced before long.
Hello. I am a regular user of the Bloomington Rail Trail. I love the trail, however, recently the trail was altered in a way that is dangerous and less than ideal for running, walking, and biking. The original surface was recently disturbed with new material which was applied unevenly and makes it hazardous or impossible to run and bike on. I have seen several minor accidents and suspect more are occurring. I know several in the fitness community that are unhappy with the recent changes to the trail. I would appreciate any info on why this change was made and if there are any plans to improve the situation. Thank you! Craig
Hello, I love the new look and feel of your website, but I'm having trouble signing up for a fall Parks and Rec program. I got the brochure in the mail over the weekend, but any documentation for classes is either for summer or for fall 2017. When do you expect for this to be updated with fall 2018 information?

I wanted to ask the city to consider re-repairing the section of the Rails to Trails trail between the roundabout near Church Lane and Country Club road. Whoever attempted to "repair" that section several weeks ago either did not know what they were doing or did not care. I actually watched them put the initial layer of loose gravel down and it was obvious that the workers had never done that kind of thing before on a trail. The loose gravel used to "repair" some low spots has become a "death trap" for unsuspecting bikers. I am an experienced biker and almost went down on my mountain bike. An attempt was made to cover this loose gravel with a mixture of crushed and packed limestone, but that has become a bumpy mess. PLEASE get someone to properly repair this section before someone is seriously injured.
Are there any basketball leagues for the 14-17 yr old boys?? Kathi
Park ridge East Street trees removed. Not sure why. Please plant new ones!
The path surrounding the parking lot of the Winslow Sports Complex needs to be repaved. It is worn to the nub, cracked and uneven. It is a hazard to elderly and infirm people (of whom I am one). I walk there every day, several times a day. There are many of us who do this. During baseball games, there are also many parents and grandparents who have to walk this path. You are just waiting for a lawsuit if this goes unrepaired. Thank you. Janet Greenblatt
Many of humans at the Ferguson Dog Park do not know how to use the T-valve to turn on the water, or that spray will cool and clean their dog. Please post instructions, or use a magic marker to point the way.
