Please install any sort of restroom at Sherwood Oaks Park. Our kids pee in the woods, we see other people going into the woods to pee all the time. I don't understand why there can't at least be a port a potty. I have made this same ureport before, maybe annually. It is a beautiful park that we visit frequently but to not have some sort of restroom is just ridiculous. I hear about Bloomington Parks and Rec being one of the top in the nation, how can that be true - when you have to pee in the woods it feels like a 3rd world country. The skate park at upper cascades has a nice port a potty, why is that an option there but not at this beautiful park where families spend time?

During a Weed Wrangle at Clear Creek, we came upon some large debris that was too much for us to carry out. I've included a pic of the debris. The pile can be found near the creek. My geographical coordinates when I stood near the pile were: 39°08'05.7"N 86°33'40.4"W. To get there, follow the paved path south of the Tapp Rd parking lot for about 0.10 miles. There is a foot path that heads west into the woods. Follow the path until it's past the limestone blocks, then head north off the path toward the creek. The red cooler is easy to spot now that the leaves are down.

There is a stand of invasive Velvet Leaf that has doubled in size over the summer. I think it is in a city easement just south of Greenbrier on the west side of High St. I don't know if you can do anything about it but I thought I would report it.

Hello! For accessibility purposes I am requesting a permanent trail marker on the rail trail pictured. It can be challenging for some individuals to navigate to the entrance and exit of the rail trail pictured. This entrance is behind 433 w somersbe, however I am requesting a marker on the public trail to denote what portion this is on the trail. It would be greatly appreciated if this marker included large characters for the visually impaired. I appreciate your review of this request and consideration. Thank you.

There are two billboards on this parcel N of our neighborhood entrance on N Walnut St to the W beyond the chiropractor’s office. It appears this parcel was once owned by Hoosier Outdoor Advertising so, I’m presuming that once Steve Ferguson obtained it and Parks and Rec is now the owner that both of these billboards can be taken out and until that might happen at least the one with the lights can have those deactived along with any service. It would be perfect if this area would then be able to gain native trees to add our Tree City USA canopy and Haskell Smith would be able to increase our diversity with new trees followed by native shrubs et al that will be most welcomed over any likely invasive bush honeysuckle et al along this main coordinator into our City and from the N into Cascades Park along the E side of Old State Rd 37 or Dixie Hwy. Thank you for letting me know if I can provide any additional information that might permit this prime cooridor becoming most appreciated and greatly improved with native trees and plants stepping up our Greenspace cooridors W and E along N Walnut Street. Thank you!

I saw this Walking with Ease sign at Bryan Park. For people with arthritis or poor balance or impaired vision / hearing or other such issues would walk around the asphalt paths with greater ease and sense of safety if some "Cyclists Yield to Pedestrians" signs were posted. This is especially true of the path through the middle of the park, which connects cyclists between the Allen Street Bicycle Boulevard and the Southdowns bike-ped lanes. I would suggest a sign at each end of that path, on the the Henderson and Woodlawn sides. I walk there frequently with my dog and friends. Cyclists approach from in front and behind. We pedestrians usually make room and sometimes the cyclists do. Sometimes they let us know when they come up from behind, but not always. Some signage could end the confusions over right-of-way. Keep in mind that the mid-path curves. That is pleasant and would be safer if cyclists slowed down and anticipated other users. Defensivei cycling, the cycling version of defensive driving. Thanks!
