Kids riding electronic scooters on trails recklessly when there are signs posted not to.
I found the metal sign for not smoking in the children's play area ripped off and left along Longview Avenue. I brought it up to the play area and put it under the oak tree along the SW edge of the park. There I also found two wood rails that might have been the base for the sign, and a fresh hole.
I'm writing to express my gratitude for the efforts Bloomington Parks and Rec is making to support reduce pollution, save money, and support native species and ecosystem services in our city parks. I've been particularly delighted to see former areas of lawn in Winslow Park and Crestmont Park converted to no mow zones and planted with native trees! After just a short period of time, these areas are already supporting wildlife and adding natural beauty (asters were blooming today!) in a ways that mowed lawns never could. Thank you for supporting these no mow zones - I'd love to see more of them!

Light #107 has been faltering for some time and is now strobing. It will completely fail soon, since it has been pale for quite a while. Light #115 is out/dark.
Please keep introducing new no mow zones in public parks to increase the growth of native plant species and increase biodiversity in our town. Increasing these spaces can greatly improve the quality of life in the surrounding area, not just for humans but also for many crucial insects and animals in our city.
Light #99 on B-line trail is out. Most of the lights along the west side of Kroger are out, but this is important for the number of individuals crossing 2nd on the B-line. I hope they are not all in series!
A previously broken branch has shifted and is now hanging dangerously low over the B-line spur trail next to 2603 S Bryan. The ends are roughly eye-level and pose a hazard to pedestrians and cyclists.
