Weed and brush overgrowth on West side of the B-Line, between 2nd and 3rd street, is getting very heavy again. Understand this is something that is normally cut back twicw a year, in the Spring and Fall. Please look into doing the Spring cut-back as soon as feasible. Thanks.

There is a family on ATV driving on the trail. I don’t think ATV is allowed and it’s dangerous
Once again, we were woken up in the middle of the night to screams of men yelling in Bryan Park overnight- this time at 3 am, from someone yelling “help” and then laughter and loud conversation. The same men have been sleeping in the Bryan Park shelters for the past several weeks and many neighbors I’ve spoken to are upset about this. These men are extremely disruptive overnight. Please police the rule that no one is allowed to sleep in the parks overnight. I know the bathrooms are locked too then, so where are they going to the bathroom?
I am the President of the Board of Trustees at Unity of Bloomington. Our parking lot is partially owned by us, and partially City property as the B-Line runs behind our building on S. Rogers & Gordon Pk. (We currently maintain the entire parking lot vis-a-vis snow removal etc.) Recent changes, especially in Switchyard Park, have precipitated a migration of unhoused persons south on the B-Line trail. The UoB parking lot has become a stop-over for derelict vehicles and we're experiencing a significant increase in loitering and trash. The Board of Trustees recognizes that this is an important ministry opportunity, and we are engaged in prayerful consideration of reasonable steps forward. In the meantime, we host a nursery school in our facility and safety is an ongoing concern. My current request is this: 1. Could we receive help from the City to secure a larger trash barrel than the small trail-sized container currently in place near our parking lot (and would it be up to us or the City to tend it)? 2. Could the City help by providing a cigarette butt receptacle for our parking lot? (My husband and I collected more than 100 cigarette butts from the Unity parking lot before services last Sunday) 3. Are there any other recommendations or resources the City might provide in a situation such as this? Thank you for any advice and assistance you can provide, Joanie Spain UoB Board President
homeless individuals sleeping overnight/during the day in the Bryan Park North shelter. They had been up all night making verbal disturbances to the nearby neighborhoods
Several people have been staying overnight in the park near or in the shelter. On Wednesday night/thursday morning there was screaming at 2 am.
Two men have been living in this shelter for at least a month. They bathe in the tap, cook on the grill, and sleep in the shelter on the picnic tables. Their exclusionary use means no one else can use the shelter. They seem nice, but the shelter is not for long-term camping.
Missing tree grate. This is a trip hazard and not ADA compliant. Please replace tree grate or install pavers.
There is a large poison hemlock plant on the east side of the Pete Ellis Multi-use path, just before the Polly Grimshaw Trail crossing. And nearby, there is vegetation growing onto the multi-use path that reduces its width.
