Please! Can someone tell me why the intersection of Second Street and the B Line is still impassable?!? I understand that anything south of Second Street is part of Phase II so officially there has been no need to complete it and that there will eventually be a fancy inlay saying "Second Street" but just having a large hole where that eventually will go is unacceptable! Every other intersection along Phase II of the B Line has a piece of plywood or something laid over it so people can safely cross, why hasn't that been done at the busiest intersection along the trail! I bike that section of the B Line at least 4 times a day and every single time I have to awkwardly go offroading in order to get back on the trail for that 3 feet of trail that isn't paved. Or I have to continue on to Morton Street, usually angering drivers who are trying to turn onto Second. And that part of the B Line that isn't paved is so close to the street that is extremely unsafe for everyone. I can't count the number of times I seen children suddenly getting off their bikes in the middle of Second Street, with traffic that rarely yields to pedestrians, to maneuver around the unpaved section. Large groups of bikers will hold up traffic for a while as each of them get off their bike, walk around the hole then get back on. It is so frustrating and infuriating to continue further down south and see that landscaping has been completed and agility benches have been installed, yet no one has thought to put down a piece of plywood over that tiny section of trail that makes it extremely unsafe and inconvenient for people to use! I should have complained about this a year ago when it first became a problem but every day I thought "no, someone has to fix it, it's such an obvious problem that can be so easily fixed." I know I share this concern with many regular users of the B Line. My apologies for this not being a well-formed letter, I am just at the end of my rope!

We live on Wellington Drive in Sherwood Oaks and our street sign is turned so it looks like Wellington is Allendale and vice versa. Also off of Allendale, the Roxbury sign is bent. Many of the street signs hang crooked. I was hoping we could get a street sign crew to come check out our neighborhood sometime soon. Thanks, Michelle Sweeny 3511 Wellington Drive

I took my son for youth video program at Rhino's around 3:30. There were only 3-4 teenagers and the instructor told us to wait a little bit because of their broken door or something. I didn't notice what was the problem. Then he came out from his office and told us about their video program. He said that basically kids borrow cameras and go home or somewhere and do their video project. And I left my son there. right before 6:00 pm I came back to pick him up and my son was sitting on the couch. I asked how the program was and he said they didn't do anything for those 2.5 hours. I couldn't believe him and kept asking questions. he said those teenagers played video games for 2.5 hours and he just watched them. When he said that I remembered that the instructor mentioned to me that "those kids come here to play video games." I know this is a free program, but I have seen many wonderful free programs throughout the country. I was so regretted that your official website has false advertisement. You really should take out that ad from your website.

Training for Indy Monumental Marathon and running lots! The Bloomington B-Line and Rail Trail and Clear Creek trails are AWESOME!! As I always do, this am I start at Hillside and S. Lincoln, run west on Hilside across Walnut until where Hillside dead ends. run south and this street deadends. There is a pat through the woods that picks up old rail line. run west into the former railyard. run across this area passing over the soon to be completed new B-Line and pick up what I call the rail trail but not certain if technically this is the rail trail. This continues until Country Club. Cross Country Club and am on the official Rail Trail. This am, a private security vehicle and 2 guys stopped me as I came out of the wooded trail and was about to cross Country Club. They said I had been trespassing on CSX land. What is the deal? Where exactly is CSX property and where is it ok to run?
