How does Bloomington determine the appropriate lifeguard-patron ratio for the city's public pools? How often is a responsible staff member actively evaluating safety needs during the course of the pool hours? (Seeking an actual response, as I notice that recent U-reports asking this question have been closed despite zero answers.)
On August 10-11, there was an alarming disconnect between lifeguards and actual use of the facility. Despite a hot, sunny weekend with dozens of patrons in and around the main pool (including plenty of small children), there was only a single lifeguard on duty sitting on the ground level staff bench for the **entire main pool**. At least on Aug 17-18, the west end of the main pool was closed, reducing by half the active scan area for the single on duty lifeguard.
It would be terrible to have a safety emergency at the city pools worsened by underestimating the need for lifeguards on duty.

Hi,
There is a substantial amount of poison ivy along the path that cuts through the middle of Bryan Park, especially toward the east. It's right at dog/toddler height. Could this be eradicated? Thank you.

There are holes in the ground where the small, wooden fence used to be along Sheridan Creek in Bryan Park. Several of these have not been filled since that fence was removed. Friday evening, my dog tripped into one of these holes. She has developed a limp since and will need a veterinary exam Monday. These holes are large enough that a dog/ child/small adult foot can go into them. They have become covered in leaves and difficult to spot. The holes are on the north side of the sidewalk between Woodlawn and the park restrooms, at least.

On the north easy side of the Bryan Park tennis courts, along the north fence perimeter, there is a big hole in the fencing. The tennis balls can go out of the fence and into traffic. The fencing is also sticking out where people can get caught up or tripped or possibly cut by it. It is a dangerous situation.
