I have two questions. 1. Can you reassure me that there will be programming in Bryan Park this spring/summer? I was disappointed to see that 90% of the winter programming is in Switchyard Park. I understand that it is new and exciting and has a lot of amenities but I really hope the other parks don’t get overlooked. 2. To whom do I speak about getting permission to install a temporary poetry hike in Winslow Woods? I would like to install cardboard signs on wooden stakes at half a dozen spots along the trail with a nature short poem on each. My initial thought was to do it for the Bloomington Montessori School (which my child attends) but I’d be happy to promote it more widely and it would certainly be available to anyone. Thank you.

Go Express busses are driving recklessly through the Sportsplex parking lot. I was dropping my daughter off for her program yesterday at 6:00pm. A bus nearly ran over the front of my car as it was turning to go toward the side parking lot. I was stopped with my window down and told the driver that she should slow down. She stated that I was in her blind spot. Then she continued to drive forward and I had to quickly back up to give her room to turn while trying to avoid hitting the car behind me. After walking my daughter into the building, another bus went by and was also driving too fast for being in a parking lot. Why are these buses cutting through the lot? They can enter at the stoplight closer to Weimer Road if needed and avoid putting parks and rec patrons in danger.

Divider in the middle of walkway impedes access to Bryan Park Pool. A painted line instead could solve this problem.

The lights at the six tennis courts have not been on in the evening for days. They are usually turned on around 9 pm. What is the matter with that?

The larger shelter at Building Trades Park looks like it will fall down any minute. I went there for a neighborhood meeting a couple weeks ago and am no longer comfortable scheduling our own neighborhood meetings in the park because it looks so unsafe

I walk through Switchyard Park on a regular basis, generally between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. I notice that the restrooms at Switchyard Park open at 10:00 a.m.; I urge you to consider opening them at 8:00 a.m. The park gets quite a lot of use, as early as 7:30 a.m., by joggers, bikers, skateboarders, pickle ball players, etc. Personally my wife and I have needed the restroom on several occasions before 10:00 a.m. Recently I saw a gentleman who appeared rather frustrated that the restrooms weren't open at 8:30 a.m. Please consider an earlier opening time. Many thanks.
