Will the Rail Trail get some new gravel soon? Last Thursday I was on it for the first time since April and the wet summer has made it much more muddy.

I see that the Winslow trail around the baseball/softball fields is being upgraded. I've heard it will be widened and paved. Please be sure to put up a sign to remind bicyclists to yield to walkers--the sign you posted on the Jackson Creek Trail would be great. I walk this path 2 times a day. And lately too often bicyclists just plow down the trail expecting walkers to clear out of the way, even when they come upon a walker from behind.

I am wondering about the wind fall limbs in local parks, am I allowed to pick it up and take it home for my fire place???? Also when the City cuts down trees what happens to the wood??? Thank you for you time. I have lived in many places and Bloomington has some of the best parks I have seen. Thank you for that

There has been some construction on the trails near the Wesley Sports complex. I use the trail to commute to work by bike every day and noted its bad constitution - especially after heavy rain. I had hope for some improvements but the 'closed for construction' signs have been removed and while the trail is now wider it seems like the construction has been stopped half way. The trail is still very sandy / muddy and parts are very soft so that my bike sinks into the sandy surface which makes it very uncomfortable to rise and also somewhat unsafe. Is the construction already done or just paused?

Large-sized tree has fallen across LC trail, towards the south end. Has been there for a few months now. Is south of the construction/Winter Shelter. Near the concrete parking area, where there are also concrete blocks - this area is on the east side of the road.

This tension wire is a hazard for cyclists and needs to be well lit for better visibility in the dark. Reflectors on the wire and along the bend in the path would also add to the safety. I am a 7th grade student at Jackson Creek Middle School. I ride my bike to school every day on the High St recreational path at around 7:30 am. It is dark at that time and I use lights on my bike. On Friday, Nov 5, I was biking down the hill towards this spot. I was going fast down this hill to have enough speed for the uphill right past this spot. Unfortunately, even with my bike light, the tension wire and the sudden bend in the path is hard to see in the dark. My shoulder hit the tension wire and knocked me off my bike. My bike had minor damage to the seat.

Hello, I serve as the volunteer creek & trail monitor for the LC area. (via Sarah Owens & company) I went by the creek on Friday, 11-12-21, at approximately 3:15p.m., noticing a distinct change in the water. Noting the current construction near the Waterfall shelter, I am uncertain if this is related. This photo was taken near the south end of the creek, about 1/3 mile from IMI concrete company. Trying not to presume - is there a permit in place for discharging into the creek? Can water sampling and testing be performed. NOTE: I returned to the same area on Saturday afternoon, 11-13-21, and the water has cleared. No visual evidence of what had been observed on Friday. Thank you.

One of the fence posts along the Polly Grimshaw Trail has become loose at the bottom. The post is noticeably wobbly as is the fencing in that area. My guess is that the post rotted out approximately where it goes underground and needs replaced. Please address this issue now so that the fence doesn't fall down in this area.
