The City owns TWO Historic Buildings. The Waldron AND The Banneker. One serves white residents. The other serves Black residents. One is getting a $500k renovation. The other desperately needs roof, HVAC, windows, flooring, masonry and drainage repair. Recover forward should honor ALL residents of Bloomington. Black and white. Invest in The Banneker.
Switchyard park is supposed to be open until 11 pm. Everyday there are no lights on in the skatepark after dark. It is currently 7:17 pm with no lights, this could be a serious danger to the riders. Please fix this issue it would make a huge difference!
I have observed that a couple of the interpretative signs around City Hall are too high. Most of the signs along the B-Line are about 34" high. But two of them, one next to the Hopewell jar fountain and the other on the B-Line across from the Bloomington Banquet sculpture, are 45" and 43" high respectively. Small children and people in wheelchairs would not be able to read these signs. Those two signs, unlike many of the others, are not mounted in a footer. So it would probably be easy to cut a portion of the pole off and lower them so they are more accessible. I am sure both of these signs are out of compliance with the ADA. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
There is a hornets nest near the path through the trees. Many people including kids have been stung by them. The chase people off the trail.
Huge wasp nest in city tree on left side of driveway of 1040 S Graywell Dr. Already stung several people including minors.
The city has build the B-Link trail from Henderson to Walnut. But how do I get to Henderson? Are there any plans for a bike/pedestrian trail from Thornton and Huntington to Thornton and and Troy Court. On Google maps, it looks like there is a right of way there. Creating that bike path would extend the unofficial Arden/Thornton greenway to create an east west corridor from Southeast Park to the B-line.
Clear creek trail from church lane to Tapp road in bad shape from high wind. Trash from tree limbs. I was not able to ride bike on Wednesday till I walked trail removing limbs. Still lots of small stuff. Needs cleaning very bad. Thanks
Water fountain broken
On the bicycle sidepath bridge, where Tapp Rd goes over Clear Creek, some sheet metal has pealed loose and sticks up. Here is a Google Maps Satellite view showing its location: https://goo.gl/maps/uyK2Pq3j1h12
Edges of paved trail continue to crumble, making trail narrower and narrower in spots. Two-way use is becoming challenging when combined with plants life on other side. Also, Trail has a large sunken area with uneven surface on west end near bypass, tricky for anything wheeled no navigate. Please repair or replace as needed in honor of a fine Librarian and for those that use it, thanks.
