Highland & Winslow Farm Dr

Case Date:
7/6/2024

On the trail by Winslow Sports Park, adjacent to Highland, near Winslow Farm Rd. There's a short wooden bridge/boardwalk. We were biking on the trail as an alternative to riding on Highland Ave and my son crashed at the bridge. He's fine, but it wasn't fun and it could've been worse. The wood was wet and friction strips are missing/ineffective in areas. There's also a large bump from asphalt to wood, so his tires were bouncing anyway. On top of that, the bridge is located in a turn - you can't even go over it straight, you have to be turning. Turning a bike on wet wood is destined for failure. Please replace this bridge. Preferably a permanent solution, like a culvert covered by concrete, which will permanently resolve the friction and bump issue. Wood will just become an issue again. Thank you.

The side walk on E. Side of Highland and path up to Winslow park is poorly maintained. Often muddy full of debris and no snow removal. From the bus stop to the park is impassable at this time. https://photos.app.goo.gl/2XfHe7G6hQjM1X1n7

Street Trees

High & Marilyn, Bloomington, IN 47401, USA

Case Date:
7/24/2022

Hello! There are a number of very dead ash trees that have become a hazard on E. Covenanter close to the intersection with High Street. I am hoping that some of these can be prioritized. One in particular reaches over the street. They are very close to the intersection and the stop sign on High. It is only a matter of time before a large limb drops, and I would hate for that to happen when a pedestrian or car was present. Thank you! Jenny

Griffy Lake, Bloomington, IN 47408, USA

Case Date:

There are pieces of glass on a portion of Trail 2 at Griffy Lake. I attached a screenshot of the AllTrails map and highlighted the portion of the trail where we noticed it. It feels oddly intentional… there are at least three different types of glass (green, brown, and clear), all pieces are all relatively small, and they are spread out pretty evenly. I unfortunately did not take a picture of any of the glass. I also did not continue on that portion of the trail to know if the issue is more extensive.

About 2:30, 1/11/24, twelve cars were at Griffy Lake dam parking lot, with two more, both City vehicles, and I asked one of them "Do bladders and bowels stop working in winter?" At first, no comprehendre. I said, why is the rest room locked? I asked them to pass on my complaint, and the guys directed me to U-REPORT. After my run at 3:30, 18 cars were in the parking lot, none city vehicles. Griffy Lake sees more than 50 cars a day, perhaps more than 100 - where the rest room? This is plainly a sanitation issue. If there's no restroom, at least walk the trails with a pooper-scooper!

Griffy Lake Nature Preserve

Case Date:
5/8/2019

I've noticed the systematic cutting of the wild grape vines throughout the Griffy Nature Preserve. These are native Indiana plants used as food by wildlife, not an alien invasive species. Why are these being cut from the nature preserve? Shouldn't this area be allowed to remain as wild as possible?

Gordon Pk & Rogers St, Perry Township, IN 47403, USA

Case Date:

There's a person riding a gasoline powered motorcycle or bicycle or similar contraption up and down the Rail Trail just about daily lately. It's very loud and goes too fast for a pedestrian and multi-use trail. I've seen it numerous times between Gordon Pike and Country Club on the rail trail. Just one of the many problems and dangers the city allows to continue on the trail since the homeless camps on city property on the trail have swelled in size. Those camps need to be cleared out immediately for the safety of all trail users.
