The web page for Frank Southern Ice Arena (link below) has an outdated link in the green button labeled "Visit Calendar." The link opens last year's calendar; it should open the calendar for the current year. https://bloomington.in.gov/parks/facilities/frank-southern
Caller reports that trees are hanging over solar panels just north of Brenda at the intersection of Henderson and Brenda.
I found a syringe just a foot or two off the B-Line Trail in a clump of spearmint growing behind the orange building at 7th and Madison. Ironically, the syringe was orange too. I left it there, because I am not trained in handling syringes, but it should probably get picked up and disposed of properly. Thanks, Yael
The parking lot for the North Cascades Skatepark has several lights out. The lights do not belong to Duke Energy. Resident is concerned about poor lighting conditions as a safety risk.
Could you please tell me where I can find the pdfs listed on page 39 of the Switchyard Park Master Plan? For example, I would like to access this report: https://bloomington.in.gov/media/media/application/pdf/57.pdf. It appears to be no longer available, and nor do others on the page. Thank you.
To whom it may concern, Hello, My name is John Rodriguez. I'm a student from Mount Pleasant High School in Northeast Texas. For our Engineering Program, a couple of students and I, have been aiming to place a concrete slides in one of our local parks. We've contacted a manufacturer and asked for a list of previous customers who own one similar to the one we are considering. Thus I am here with an inquiry. I was wondering if you could give me a direct contact (Email or Phone Number), to someone in the parks department or someone who would know information, pertaining to your concrete slide, particularly things like maintenance and operation. We are compiling a list of comments and reviews for the embankment concrete slide so we can present it to our city for better consideration from them. We would greatly appreciate your assistance Sincerely, John G. Rodriguez
The bike path along Sare Road south of the intersection with Olcott is rapidly deteriorating due to continuous water flow over the path that washes dirt, branches and rocks onto the path. Something needs to be done to divert this water away from the path. In the winter the water freezes, leaving the path coated with a sheet of ice. Very dangerous for bikes and pedestrians.
The B-line trail, between Tapp Road and Grimes, there is a lengthy u-shaped detour. It is covered in large rocks that make it nearly impossible to navigate on a road bike (my bike tires are 25mm). Several times I have nearly fallen over as the rocks engulf my small tires. I am a female bike commuter. I commute to the hospital at 6:30am and come home at 7:30pm. I no longer feel safe riding the trail due to the hazards of this rocky detour. I am at risk for either taking a significant fall or puncturing a tire. This makes me vulnerable. Please, either pack down the large rocks or cover this detour with a tarp.
I saw this bird at lake griffy & it is too small. I demand prompt action or I you shall expect an expansion of my remonstrance. -Andrew Little
Hello! I’m a resident of 639 north maple street. On my dead end street, there is an untrimmed, unofficial entrance that MANY residents of the neighborhood access on a daily basis. However, the path that has been roughly paved by passerby’s is steep, rocky, untrimmed and dangerous, especially in rain or snow. Even in the summer, it is dangerous. Children and pregnant women have issues going through here. I have tried to enter the b-line this way, but it’s too dangerous and steep for me. Anyway we can get something done for the neighborhood? We know there’s a sidewalk and safer way after the bridge on 11th to access, but out of convenience or maybe ambiance, most people enter through our dead end makeshift entrance. The makeshift entrance seems to not be in a definitive tenants yard/property. No one really knows. If someone could come check it out, that’d be great and appreciated. Thanks! - Ruth
