This is a Positive Review My husband and I have been walking Bloomington trails for a decade. This past year we have discovered the last 2 segments out on Dillman Rd. It’s a lovely part of the trail covered by trees for more shade and cooler in the heat of summer. During this time we also noticed the consistent upkeep of this segment. Following the friendly custom of speaking to other walkers, we realized a consensus existed on the excellent work & commitment of Mr. Troy Carter, who cares for that particular section of trail. He is always working, always doing what needs to be done. My husband Howard, often commented that during his decades of working at Crane NSWC, he always looked for people who had this work ethic, always doing their job even when not supervised. He also is always kind and courteous to the trail users, answering questions, giving directions & just being courteous to everyone who walks by. For example if he’s blowing leaves, cutting grass, etc he will pause pulling the trigger in the few moments it takes a walker to pass him by. A small gesture possibly but a boon to those of us that use our walks for conversation or solely for the tranquility of nature and is simply a kind human gesture. We trail walkers appreciate all that he does and simply wanted to say Thank You.

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.

Hi, for many months now, there has been some kind of leak or drainage issue in the large dog area of the Switchyard dog park. I know parks is aware of it, as the two areas of concern have temporary fencing around them, but it is very flimsy and does not keep dogs out. I don't care about my dog getting muddy, but she contracted giardia and required vet care and medication from drinking out of the puddles, which have now been standing for so long, they are green. I understand this may not be an easy fix, but please try? Thank you.

There is a rock with a plaque for Conrad Muller and it's had something poured on it that defaced it. It's hard to read,yet it's beautiful.

Walked through Switchyard again last night for the first time since my last report (11/7)- all the lights were still off, the whole stretch was still pitch black. I finally went through and wrote down the ID for every light that was out along the trails in this stretch. Every light starting at BL51 and ending with BL38 was out, as well as every light starting at SYP117 and ending at SYP108 (so SYP107 and down were on). I hope this helps you figure it out!

MSI Security guard drove unsafely on the trail. He drove over the yellow line and nearly hit an oncoming trail user. Those security people drive like bullies on the B-line trail.
