There is a very large dead tree on the north side and abutting 2nd Street just west of High Street. Big dead branches are hanging over the roadway, and present a potentially dangerous situation.

Please do not build more paved trails unless City is willing to take care of what is already built. Never build a new addition to a house that is poorly maintained.

Regarding biking etiquette in Bloomington...my husband and I walk the wonderful trails almost daily, through all the seasons. We are truly appreciative of these trails. We are perplexed and sometimes frightened by the lack of biking etiquette displayed on the trails. Almost daily, we are startled by someone passing us at a high rate of speed without any warning. I have nearly "fallen off" the trail more than once. I am grateful I have not sprained an ankle...or worse (yet) I know there would be some cost involved, but honestly, isn't pedestrian safety worth it? I have serious osteoporosis. If I am hit, unwittingly, by a biker who did not show the common courtesy of giving an "on your left" warning" in time for us to move quickly out the way, it could be life-changing for me and many other walkers, especially the elderly. How about a sign posted in a prominent place on each trail educating bikers of their responsibility to ride responsibly? Sure, they may speed past the signs, but perhaps if posted where they are getting ready to ride, they may read them and consider the safety of the walkers they are speeding past (and sometimes weaving around) Of course the same should be assumed for electric vehicles. Walkers need, and deserve, a fair warning of anyone approaching. Let's not let someone break a hip or worse before we address this. Thank you for listening and for the work you do to make Bloomington an awesome place to live! Eileen Caird

I tried to attend the Strawberry Shortcake festival. All day on the radio they said there is a drive-through service to order and pick up food. Because I am handicapped, I expected to use the drive through. When I got there, there were signs saying DRIVE THROUGH CLOSED. Everyone was told to get in line. The line stretched across the parking lot. There is no way I could stand in line that long.

Low-lying branch (of a mulberry tree, I think) that extends over most of the trail and poses a danger for cyclists. LOCATION: on the trail that was built parallel to the original B-line when the latter needed to be closed because of construction/explosives. Maybe 1/2 or 2/3 of the way down that trail, but BEFORE (north of) where a trail spur leads west off the trail to head through the neighborhood. Wish I'd taken a photo.... There are several trees along that trail that could use a bit of a trim, but this one MUST be trimmed. A pruning sheers might be sufficient, but a hand saw might be useful as well.

Hello- I would like to ask if there is any way more playgrounds around town could be fenced. Our 4 year old son is autistic, and likes to run. We seem to be limited to Bryan park tot lot and Broadview playground. There are lots of families of developmentally disabled and autistic children in this community, and these children- and their siblings- would benefit greatly from the opportunity to utilize more facilities. The big playground at Karst, the playground at Bryan park nearest the fenced toddler playground, and Olcott park would be wonderful additions to our family and others.

The water fountain on the west side of the park runs continuously and has for weeks since they turned it on. It needs to be fixed.
