For the second year in a row, the plants in the middle of the trail roundabout where the trail to Sherwood Oaks Park, Olcott Park and to Rhorer Road intersect have been cut down. Why? This circle contained native plants, including elderberry (which was much smaller this year after having been cut down last year). This year everything was cut right down to the ground. This does not match practices elsewhere along the trails.

Please consider placing a restroom or port-o-let at Sherwood Oaks Park. It is a beautiful park but people use the woods as a restroom constantly.

Please install any sort of restroom at Sherwood Oaks Park. Our kids pee in the woods, we see other people going into the woods to pee all the time. I don't understand why there can't at least be a port a potty. I have made this same ureport before, maybe annually. It is a beautiful park that we visit frequently but to not have some sort of restroom is just ridiculous. I hear about Bloomington Parks and Rec being one of the top in the nation, how can that be true - when you have to pee in the woods it feels like a 3rd world country. The skate park at upper cascades has a nice port a potty, why is that an option there but not at this beautiful park where families spend time?

There is poison ivy around the chain link fence around the tennis courts. Could you please remove it? The tennis balls get in it and we've gotten poison ivy from this.

Pothole

More than a week after the snow stopped, I encountered many terrible sidewalks today. Just a few: west side of Rogers, between Kirkwood and 4th, around Regions bank on Kirkwood and Rogers, in front of the Gables house, along the Indian restaurant at the corner of Sixth and Walnut and from the steakhouse to the trail on 6th street. Also, can you please, please require that the sidewalk be cleared to the street? Often, the sidewalks are decent, but then you have to climb over a slippery mound at the corner as you approach oncoming traffic. Definitely a hazard. Please do better. Thank you.
