Large pile of trash behind tree south of the B-Line near (former) lamppost 157, between the trail and the railroad and west of the railroad bridge. Most likely an abandoned cache of items pulled from the nearby Opportunity House dumpster.
(See attached) A big truck drove through this morning and ripped a big limb out of this tree. It landed on sombody's minivan who was driving behind the truck. Both vehicles left the scene, but the tree debris remains. Sobody drug it off the road to the curb. Its right along 10th Street, north side of the street, between Fess Avenue and Park Avenue.
The only infant swing in the park is broken

Someone has covered the drinking fountain furthest from the parking lot (nearest the swings) in dog poop. The dog bowl portion of the fountain is especially covered.
Clarification of what i just submitted as case 206040 I meant I didn't find a tree guide "there" meaning the City / Parks & Rec pages. But neither did I with OuterSparial. I jniw that i found an online guide to wild plants (i think) in Switchyard Park. For a tree guide template you might consider the updated guide to IU's tree "The Woodland Campus."
Followup on Case #205714 response Thank you for your suggestion. We have already created a free self-guided tree tour at Bryan Park to highlight some of the trees on site. The tour is available on our mobile app, OuterSpatial. We plan to continue to add more tours and signs with QR codes in the future. Please make that local too and user-friendly / intuitive. Somewhere on the City / Parks & Rec pages. Link the OuterSpatial thingie there, but honestly, i tried an experiment of looking for that info there. I didn't find anything except events.
Hi! I was just curious if there was any way you all could fill in the mud hole with rocks at the large dog park at Switchyard? My dog always runs straight for the mud and leaves a mess, which keeps us from utilizing the park as much as we would like. There was another muddy spot that was filled in with rocks earlier, and that was a nice addition! Thank you! We love our Bloomington parks!
the overgrowth from B-Line has made Morton Street from Howe to Smith a one lane road, which causes issues on an already overly tight turn at Smith & Morton. can this be cut back/down? thanks for your time and consideration. kind regards, NE
The connector trail between the B-Line and Butler Park could use some lighting such as lampposts and/or sconces on the bridge. It would cost some money but it should be possible to tap power from the utility post and light at the end of the trail in Butler Park itself. It gets very dark there at night and some more lighting could go a long ways towards improving safety in this heavily trafficked area.
