Bloomington Rail Trail, Bloomington, IN, USA

Case Date:
3/7/2021

About .5 mile into the rail trail is a large homeless camp (off Country Club) from the entrance. The sites continue to grow & pop up. There are multiple concerns with this. 1. Contamination with the water by litter, human waste, & drug paraphernalia. 2. Affects to wild life through trash & humans inhabiting their homes. 3. Land is affected by litter & drug paraphernalia such as glass pipes & needles. 4. There are safety concerns with children playing in the creek due to human waste & drug paraphernalia being in the water, they could get diseases from contaminated needles or step on glass pipes. 5. This is a dangerous location for the homeless as they are in a flash flood location. It has completely flooded out on 2020 & 2019. 6. Safety concerns with those using the trail or those who live in the neighborhood on the other side. One of our tenants contacted the police for fear of someone being outside of his home in the middle of the night. We have also noticed foot prints being outside the windows when there was snow on the ground. We can send additional photos it needed & have also reported to Rebecca Swift. I do believe others in the community are noticing & possibly reporting. Thanks Danny & Zella Taylor

Hello, there is a partially down tree which is blocking access to this trail. The trail goes behind the Renwick subdivision on Sare Road and is just before the underpass (if you are coming from Sare Road).

There is a birch tree vandalized with racist hate. Vertically, in large letters, is the N word and above it is carved the initials of the KKK. I hope something can be done to erase this message of hate from this beautiful bike trail. To find the vandalized tree, start at the parking lot with the yellow gate and take a left, through the grassy field with the pile of logs to the right. Continue the trail until you get to what I call the staircase of roots. At first, the birch tree in question will be to the right, but to see the hateful message, you'll have to turn around so it is to your left.

Winslow Woods Park on a spur trail, an individual has created a Mountain biking obstacle through plant life and dug up creek bed to create a jump. I’m pretty sure that this park does not allow bicycles on trails.

Winslow Woods has neighbors, on west side, that are clear cutting the woods (fresh stumps) behind their(?) homes, also they are leaving large brush piles of yard waste. They are making trails and lining them with cut trees.
