The plants alongside the trail at Butler Park just West of the bridge are so overgrown as to inhibit use of the path. I suggest they be trimmed back.

People are again living in the shelters at Butler Park. Not only are they preventing others from using the facilities but they are leaving trash, clothing, and other messes when they do leave.

Hi - there is a mosquito infestation in the woods between Oaklawn park & meadowcreek. I can see the trail from backyard. There was a cloud of mosquitos. It is a wildlife sanctuary there are what I believe rare birds I do not want it cut down but I want an arborist/ ecologist to assess if pine forests naturally have 2 feet of weeds, vines, underbrush. I googled misquote habitat & it says this exactly. Does the city own this easement ( trail)? If not - is it in city limits & issue a citation? I looked on city website there is a line here so I don’t know if the woods is on city or county side. There is a new disease in America , EEE, that mosquitos carry and it can be fatal or cause seizures. I know Mother Nature does their landscaping. The woods needs to be cleaned out please help my backyard of $150,000 condo is 10 feet away. Thx, Kate Fish 812-508-0907, 3319 S. Oaklawn circle , 47401

Excessive Growth

1100-1398 N Hancock Dr, Bloomington, Indiana, 47404

Weeds and grass has been allowed to become wildly overgrown along the drainage ditch at the bottom of the valley in Crestmont Park. There is no reason that should be happening. It's not to prevent erosion. Grass doesn't have to be 3 feet tall to prevent erosion. It just keeps it from drying out and causes it to attract mosquitoes among other things. In addition, invasive vines have climbed and wrapped around many of the trees and many of the trees are surrounded by overgrown areas containing invasive honeysuckle and others. Not acceptable in one of our City parks.

I first reported this May 20, 2019. I received notice July 15th that it had been taken care of. I took this photo today. There is still a large pile of trash along the trail at Griffy that runs from Lanam Road to Griffy Creek. It includes 2 tires, LOTS of broken glass, and lots of sharp rusted pieces of metal. It is about 1/3 or 1/2 of a mile down the trail from Lanam Road. There is a downed tree and log between the road and trash pile that might need to be cut if a wheeled device is used to remove the trash. My original ticket in May was 168600. Other trees blocking the trail which I reported earlier (ticket 168601) have been removed and I thank you!

There are multiple sections of the rail trail with large, loose gravel. This type of gravel is extremely dangerous for bicyclists. The latest section to receive this gravel is just north of That Road. Can the city look into having the large loose gravel removed, and replaced with the fine crushed gravel that used to cover the trail?
