The middle trail with bridge across main creek is really over grown, very difficult to walk let alone ride.
The middle trail with bridge across main creek is really over grown, very difficult to walk let alone ride.
Large trees fell across trails in multiple places, west side near highway, east side not far from parking lot.
There was a homeless camp in the woods by Clear Creek at the end of Pinewood Drive. The people have moved on, as all their tents have been removed. However, there is a lot of remaining trash. Is it possible to have sanitation clean up this area? Please let me know if I need to contact someone else for this request. Thank you!
While visiting Bryan Park on 8/9, I observed mowing with a gas engine lawn mower of grass already at a very low height. Greenhouse gas emissions are a concern from unnecessary mowing, and the area being mowed was very large. For a city with a sustainability office, one would expect either the use of electric lawn equipment and/or mowing only when necessary. Please consider training staff to mow using environmentally friendly practices.
IU students are returning which will put even more pressure on the RCA pickleball courts. There are six permanent courts there (one with broken net) The Bloomington Pickleball Club has offered to put temporary lines on the tennis courts to add 6 more courts. There are a number of temp chalk and paint products out there that will do the trick short term. The lines will not affect the ability to play tennis (though no one really plays tennis here) The BPC has temp nets we can put out at least on weekends to help with the crowds. I suggest the city also adopt some court rules for how the courts get shared when there is a large crowd. Let’s get ahead of this before it becomes a bigger problem in a few weeks!
The net on court 2 of the pickleball courts is damaged and unusable. Looks like a pretty easy fix.
I'm not sure this is encroachment on the Rail Trail but it's fairly close. This is about .5 mile south of Tapp Rd.
The Davis St. right of way, just south of my property is forested. I know that the city doesn't normally tend to the trees in this strip, but it's public property. I write because of two particular dead trees in this area--one a hazard to utility wires, the other temporarily leaning against a live tree but will eventually fall on our fence.May I show you these dead trees and ask if the city would be willing to remove them before they damage our property and the public utility lines?
Oak trees on street in front of house hang over sidewalk so pedestrians have to duck. One tree was also hit by a truck this week and a branch is now hanging down and obstructing the street.
The last recent storm we had blew down a few limbs in the tree located in front of our house between the road and sidewalk. One of the limbs fell to the ground the other limbs are still hanging in the tree, they might fall onto the road or sidewalk (depending on which way they fall). The hanging limbs are a hazard and need to be taken out of the tree and cleaned up ASAP.
