The Bryan Park pool is looking a little rough. Both of the larger water slides have graffiti on the inside that you see when you go down them. There are two mushroom-like water features in the Limestone Lagoon: one doesn't spray water anymore and the other is missing its top. The women's locker room has peeling paint and felt damp and grubby. This pool is arguably the best in town, but it is sorely in need of a refresh.

The pavement on the B-Line Trail is buckled in several places, especially between 2d & 3d Sts. I thought this would be corrected when warm weather came, but it's now 95 degrees and it hasn't been fixed. Someone needs to flatten the bumps. It would be easy on a day like this.

Tree in front now has had 3 major limbs removed due to storms. Could the tree be completely removed? It is one of the invasive species found all over town, all of which should be cut down. (Bradford Pear)

A tree is down across the trail between the roundabout and Victor, closer to Victor. There’s another one further north partly across the trail.

The B-Line trail section from 1st Street to 4th Street is deteriorating because tree roots are breaking the pavement. It needs to be resurfaced.

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.

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.

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 sent this to mcdevitp@bloomington.in.gov, sternerm@bloomington.in.gov, eadsd@bloomington.in.gov, barrickb@bloomington.in.gov today, but I wanted to submit it here too so that it's entered into the uReport records and doesn't get lost. This is in regard to the hole in the turf field at the Twin Lakes Recreation Center, where the turf has worn through to the concrete and almost caused some serious injuries to our league players on Sunday, February 19th. Our league ends after March 5th and I'm worried someone will get seriously hurt between now and then unless something is done to cover or patch that spot on the field during that time.
Hi Paula, Rebecca, Mark, and Daren,
Thank you for your quick response. I do appreciate that you are inquiring to see if the work can be moved up to spring break week (March 13). However, this doesn't answer my question about what they are going to do to make the field safe to play on in the two weeks before that time. We still have to play on the field during those two weeks (unless of course Twin Lakes would like to refund us the money for those days and reschedule our field time - something that would need to be discussed with the leagues). Is there anything Twin Lakes can do to patch or cover that spot in the immediate term until the repairs can be made? We just don't want anyone to get hurt, and I know of course you must have the same concern.
Best regards,
