Employees in a security vehicle patrolling the Bline trail were smoking in the vehicle while driving through Switchyard Park. This seems like a lapse in oversight and resulted in negatively impacting the experience visiting the park.

Tree growing over trail, very unsafe for kids walking to school and bike riders.

Bryan park Bloomington, IN 47401, USA
- Case Date:
- 12/20/2023
I live right next to Bryan Park and walk my dogs there daily. Lately, there has been a noticeable increase in the amount of pet waste left uncollected by other dog owners. The middle path through the park is particularly bad. You can hardly go 10-15ft along the path without encountering a pile. I have stepped in several while moving out of the way for cyclists. I don’t have a good solution on how to fix this, people just aren’t picking up after their dogs and it’s becoming an issue.

There is a rotting deer carcass in the lake, right on the shore near the west north shore trail. I believe it was shot during the annual hunt but it was never collected. My sister is an ecologist and says that it should be removed from the lake to prevent e coli contamination. It is extremely pungent and can be located just by the smell. I have also tied a small green trash bag on a small tree along the trail, just uphill from the carcass.

Tree growing over trail. Unsafe for bikers and walkers. Between Fritz Terrace and BHSN

There are at least five camps of unhoused individuals along this stretch of trail. They are now clearing the land for firewood and also running generators. There is trash everywhere and almost daily screaming fights that are spilling over into the adjacent Broadview neighborhood, including an assault yesterday, 1/7 on Bryan. What's the long term plan here? The parcels on either side of the trail are owned by Autovest II LLC.

B-Line Trail, Bloomington, IN, USA

The B-Line is icy and snowy. It is usually very well taken care of during the winter, but it is treacherous to ride in some sections. I understand that the temperatures are abnormally low, but compared to the roadway, it is a mess. I would expect at least some salt on it to help melt the ice and snow. Thank you for your help keeping this trail safe for users!
