My son rides his bike there (as do tons of people, I'm sure), it's his only means of transport. He rides the B-Line bike trail to and from work. He keeps running over nails, which makes me think someone threw a bunch on the trail maybe. Would it be possible to sweep or check the bike trails for nails? I wasn't sure who to contact , so starting here. Thank you so much.
What is the city doing about the growing homeless camp in the city park, Seminary Park? Is the intention to make this camp permanent? It seems to have been growing for about a year, with seemingly little effort to address it, the safety of passersby, or the sanitation issues that accompany it.
If you park in the handicapped parking off Henderson, near the handicap playground, and cross the bridge to the trail that leads to Woodlawn, there is a small hole in that pavement just past the bridge. It's big enough to catch my front walker wheel. Until the other day I always managed to notice it and avoid it, but that day falling leaves had hidden it, and I forgot all about it. Until, that is, my walker wheel fell into it. Fortunately, I managed not to fall and was able to continue walking, but my bones break very easily. I beg you to fill this little hole. As I said, it's just past the bridge, on the way to the walking trail. Thank you.
Is there a city ordinance about setting up tents in public parks? Seminary Square park starts to look more and more like a camping.
On the webpage that describes the features of each City Park, Crestmont Park has nothing listed. As to avoid the appearance of bias against the low-income (ahem!), please fix this. Thank you. https://bloomington.in.gov/parks/parks
A tree was blown over. It is currently leaning over the trail, and it seems as though it could fall onto the trail at any time. It's just north of where the small pedestrian bridge is located.
Cascades park. Why is it so hard to drive here?! Surely you can make it one way or protected bike path or even clog the other end instead of forcing town to expend significant gas miles to get to the north entrance? Please tell me this restricting isn't permanent
On nice days would it be possible for the Park staff (and the Bloomington police) to be more active in enforcing face coverings and the limit on gatherings. This was a day when Indiana hit another record (11/7). THe pickle ball court was taken over by this group of more than 25 people who were having a tournament. Most were not wearing masks as they sat around. Down the road the playground was packed. I know this is especially hard for staff or police since it's the parents making poor decisions, not wearing masks, and most if not all children not wearing masks.
Would it be possible to put heaters in the shelters in the parks around town so family and friends can meet up outside this winter due to the Coronavirus?
The tree inside the large dog park has a large diameter dip around the base of it. This dip is constantly filled with very rank smelling water and I along with all other dog owners have discussed how unhappy we are that we must bathe our dogs anytime we take them to get exercise. My dog needs consistent exercise and the best way to do this is at the dog park, but constant bathing can cause skin to dry out. At one point, the city had placed a temporary barrier around it so I believed there was hope for a solution, but since then the barrier has been taken down.
