A beighbor tells me that these buttons are on-demand lighting for Bryan Park's tennis courts. When will they be labeled (and maybe finished to look permanent)?

Bicycle parking is never good for the Saturday Farmer's Market, but today it was exceptionally problematic. When I first arrived I was able to lock my trike but when I had trouble accessing my lock and when I did get to it two helpful young men assisted by lifting my trike to free it from the pile. I am 75 years old. This was hard. My trike is ADA compliant but it is not compact. I don't take it into the market, but my walking ability is limited so don't tell me about the bike racks that are blocks away from the market. Please do better with bike parking convenient to the market
This morning at approximately 8:20, while I was riding a bicycle southbound on the B-Line trail over the Grimes Street bridge, I met a full-sized truck driving northbound on the B-Line Trail over the bridge. The truck was labeled Bloomington Parks and Recreation, and I spoke with the driver and passenger, who were staff members of the Parks and Recreation Department. The posted rules of the B-Line trail prohibit motorized vehicles. I am aware that we make exceptions for motorized wheelchairs, electric bicycles, electric scooters, and the small trucks used by security and parks maintenance staff. However, my opinion is that a full-sized truck is well outside the range of acceptable exceptions. A full-sized truck is less safe, provides less visibility for the truck driver to see walkers and others on the trail, blocks more of the trail width, and causes more wear on the trail surface. My opinion is that full-sized trucks should not be on the B-Line, when there are alternate routes available for a truck on public streets, and alternative vehicles available to use on the B-Line trail.
Poison ivy in mulched area on upper side of playground. Also, the chimes were installed backwards and do not match the pitch labeling.

The Sycamore Knolls area tennis courts (off Hillside) is overgrown with weeds, both along the fence and on the court itself. Seems like the courts are not being kept up.
Coming from Woodlawn, heading towards the intersection with Hawthorne and Ballantine, there are several willow (?) trees that have such low-hanging branches that they hit pedestrians and cyclists in the face.
Tree branch hanging over and blocking the BRT. Tree is approx 150 yes from BRT and Clear Creek Trail intersection
The screening of the movie Wicked as a sing a long is great! But only the songs are captioned. Wouldn’t it be great to make the screening inclusive and caption *all* the dialogue?
Looks like two bed frames were dumped on the northside of the Bloomington Rail Trail, across from the raised shed/treehouse on Ellington Farm
