Bloomington resident Sam Melchior (dsamuelm375@gmail.com) contacted me through an email message the following concern:
" I would still appreciate a further response as the scooter and ebike problem continues to worsen. I have added ebikes due to the increased use of them on the Bloomington Rail Trail and the increased size and speed of these vehicles. They are extremely dangerous and damaging to the natural surface trail. Thanks."
Please direct a response to Mr. Melchior via his email address dsamuelm375@gmail.com.
Thank You,
Pat Martin

Hello! I was wondering if I could gain permission to metal dectect on city parks and rec property? Specifically, I would like to try metal detecting at Lower Cascades. If permissible, I would minimize avoid any restricted areas, fill in any dig holes, and would remove all surface and underground trash encountered. Thanks for your time, and let me know if any other information is needed.

Two dead trees at the end of my dead end street need to be cut. Are they the city's responsibility or mine? Sorry, I'm old, not able to include photo.

The road/trail crossing at Moravec is dangerous due to bikes crossing at high-speed without regard to vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The bushes on southwest corner of this crossing also impeded visibility of bikes crossing at high speed. The trail should have speed limit signs for bikes/e-bikes and yellow yield signs.

Homeless junkies disrupting children and family time, profane shouting and making a nuisance for anyone trying to use the public restroom…. Lady in red jacket just nasty a rude, tired of bringing my kids here and listening to their shit, I see people literally avoid the bathroom with children. Can’t you remove them? I mean publicly screaming obscene things and just trying to literally camp out on city property where we cannot even have a picnic without hearing it?

A homeless man seems to be setting up camp in this park. Aren’t some of my tax dollars going to help house the homeless? I am at this park every day and will not be happy if it turns into another park full of homeless people. No problem if they are just passing through like the rest of us, but I don’t want them living here.

Just wanted to say that I saw a worker/or volunteer(?) the other day on the Griffy Trail raking leaves off the trail. It was much appreciated and I appreciate the work being done! Makes walking the trail much easier!

The door latch on the porter pottie has broken. The door can’t lock now. This is at Winslow Woods. Plus, there is a syringe and plastic bottles in the toilet bowl! Please put a trash can and sharps container in this porter pottie.

Huge thank you for the fix and needed improvement reported in case #181846. It has worked well during the last rains. Also, there is now less chance of frozen puddles creating slip and falls. Other trail neighbors, some elderly, are also appreciative!
