I would like to highlight what I believe to be one remaining safety concern along that B-Line bike path. It has to do with the bridge on Allen that crosses over the open drainage (right by the Traffic Division's garage). When approaching the bridge from either direction, there are significant gaps on either side where there is no barrier between the road and the drainage culvert. I am concerned that a cyclist -- perhaps one pulling over to allow a car to pass -- could misjudge their stopping distance and ride into the culvert. Additionally, there is no easy way for someone who does fall in to climb back out.
I believe that the expense to fix this would be low. It appears that an attempt may have been made to create a curb at one point, but the work appears to be incomplete and not sufficient to stop a bicycle. However, something like a length of guardrail seems like it would be more than sufficient.
Thank you for taking time to read my concern.
Accessibility Problem

I have observed that a couple of the interpretative signs around City Hall are too high. Most of the signs along the B-Line are about 34" high. But two of them, one next to the Hopewell jar fountain and the other on the B-Line across from the Bloomington Banquet sculpture, are 45" and 43" high respectively. Small children and people in wheelchairs would not be able to read these signs. Those two signs, unlike many of the others, are not mounted in a footer. So it would probably be easy to cut a portion of the pole off and lower them so they are more accessible.
I am sure both of these signs are out of compliance with the ADA.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Someone has smeared what looks and smells like dog feces into both of the water spouts on the drinking fountain. I am not carrying sanitizer to clean it or paper to mark it, but it is clearly a public health hazard.

When hiking the trail, we were passed 4 or 5 times by an individual driving a gas powered open body go-cart. He was doing laps on the trail.

Our Instagram account was tagged in this photo. Appears the drinking fountain may have been tampered with.

Near the workout equipment on the northwest corner of the Bryan Park there is a hole (see picture). Someone put a metal "donut" over it to warn passersby. Seen Monday morning around 8. Your map location feature is harder to use it used to be.

Tried to register online but was unable to "search" for event to register. I kept getting the same page--search. I will register by mail but thought you should know. (A family member at a different address had a similar problem.) Thank you and Happy New Year

Just want to suggest that when the crews are cleaning up the landscaping on Sayre RD in the median, they close the left lanes.
They are too close to the road working on the median. Someone is going to get hurt.

Someone removed the signs at Park Ridge Park on Longview Avenue that stated the equipment was closed. Caution tape has been removed from equipment too.
