The lesser celandine (an invasive plant species) is almost in full bloom along the southern end of the Bloomington B Line Trail. It extends the width of about 3 lots along the trail. I thought it would be good to report since it's spreading quite rapidly. It used to only be around the wooden stairs that the neighbor installed on Bloomington Parks property (see photo). Also there is Japanese Knotweed in the area that is currently a small patch, but can spread quickly. The knotweed has not yet emerged from the ground.
During a meeting with today that Mr. Hazen had with the planning department, he mentioned concerns about the vegetation in the median of 3rd Street in the vicinity of his property at 1900 West 3rd Street. His concerns include: the height and density of the median vegetation prevents visibility across 3rd Street, prevents travelers on the roadway from seeing traffic in the opposing lanes, and prevents seeing someone who might be trying to cross 3rd Street mid block, etcetera. He asks that the vegetation be cut back.
Found 3 possible Japanese knowledge along spur trail to Bloomington Rail Trail. Three plants were separated by about 20 feet. They are located past three bridge over Clear creek on the right side as your traveling north
More Japanese knotweed on northeast side of bridge over Clear Creek on new trail spur. There is a larger patch of younger knotweed on the opposite bank too.

Multiple trail locations including, but not limited to, Leonard Springs, Clear Creek Trail, Olcott Park, and RCA Park have fallen or partially fallen trees which pose a danger to trail users because they are hanging precariously over the trails. Of secondary importance is the fact that these same parks are littered in fallen trees and limbs which pose a significant fire risk. I frequent these trails regularly and can provide multiple photos of the conditions I have described above. Please take time to investigate this urgent safety concern for the sake of our city's park users. Thank you!
