On east side of b line between Kirkwood and 6th Street. Chicken waddle hangs down into head space about 4 ft from edge of path. This is a relatively congested part of the b line and it is often necessary to detour off the path here to get around a stationary group. i have had close calls with this chicken waddle, and other people have actually hit it with their heads while biking. Now that dave williams is gone could we get a little consideration for safety?

On west side of b line between kirkwood and sixth. This handrail goes up against the very edge of the b line, exactly at handlebar height for cyclists. This is a congested part of the b line where it is often necessary to ride at the very edge of the path. It presents a hazard to cyclists. Engineering standards as well as Bloomington City planning documents indicate there should be a foot and a half "shy zone" clear of obstructions at the edge of the path. At the city budget hearings a few months ago parks and rec director testified to the council that Parks and rec does follow engineering guidelines on the b line however I do not believe this handrail qualifies. Can we please get some safety.

West side of b line just south of sixth street. Planter blocking path, restricting effective width of b line to about six feet. The path was engineered to a ten foot width, and parks and rec director testified to council that b line conforms to engineering standards. Did an engineer sign off on this path width restriction right at its most congested point?

I was downtown at the walnut street post office and the parking lot was overrun by homeless people who apparently were on some sort of substance. One was lingering by my vehicle and I was uncomfortable going to my car. There were tents all over the park into the post office parking lot. Can the Mayor PLEASE do something about the homeless situation? This is not the same Bloomington we had 4 years ago! I don't think I will be coming downtown for a while now.

Tents are popping up again in Seminary Park and the adjacent open spaces. I cannot believe these are for "Garage sales, religious tent meetings, nonprofit events and political rallies" (City Code), so I hope they will soon be removed.
