Could you please install a chainlink fence around the basketball court at the Park Ridge East Park? The court has a hill on two sides and the road on a third side. Anytime you shoot the ball will roll down the hill or it can roll out to the road. The side with the gazebo behind it is the worst because it has a hoop so it is frequently shot on. I have included an older photo of the park, but the slopes are still the same. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to meet at the park.

8am, Monday, April 1, 2024: For at least 30 minutes a male subject has been screaming in the woods along the Rail Trail north of Gordon Pike. He is screaming, cursing, and shouting mostly unintelligible and incoherent phrases. This is disturbing for many reasons - for safety of the trail users on a secluded, wooded trail, and for nearby property owners who have to wonder what is going on out in the woods (considering the history of crime and murder in homeless camps in this town). The City needs to clear ALL of the homeless camps out from Gordon Pike to Country Club Drive along the Rail Trail immediately. This is a problem that is only getting worse, and it is on City property. Get it taken care of now before an innocent victim gets hurt on the trail system.

Around 3pm on Friday, March 29, 2024, a vehicle was parked on the gravel road parallel to the Rail Trail north of Gordon Pike. A little bit later, passing by again, there were homeless people unloading items from the car it appeared. This car would have had to drive on the multi-use path along Gordon Pike to get onto the gravel road. As of 8am 3/30/24, the vehicle is still parked at the homeless camp. The City needs to do something about these camps. There are gasoline powered bikes traveling the Rail Trail and gravel road with little regard for pedestrians, tons of trash from Gordon Pike to Country Club Drive, and now free parking at the camp sites. The problems started when the homeless moved south and it is getting worse by the week. This is on City-owned property. This makes the Rail Trail less safe for everyone. Clear the camps out. The City needs to take action before someone is seriously hurt by the growing problem the City allows to fester. It is only a matter of time.

The raised traction on the boardwalks in Bryan park is too tall and poses a trip hazard. In addition, there is a small section near the east end of the boardwalk by the adult fitness equipment that is warped so that it is sticking up more than the rest. It's subtle, but it's problematic. Several people who saw me trip on it today said they had struggled on the same spot earlier today or earlier in the week.

Hello. I recently read that many cities (more than in the past) only are planting male trees as less fruit than female trees for cleanup. Something along those lines. Anyways in short the male trees (from what I have read) are wind-blown pollen versus insect-transmitted for female. Short of it, is that all male trees is causing a big increase in suffering among those such as myself with tree pollen allergies. So please do more fruit trees/female trees. Plus fruit/food producing trees are just so much more awesome for a community. Apparently it's called botanical sexism amongst urban planners and it is increasingly recognized as a big problem. We NEED more female trees to remove pollen from the air; I could hardly breathe today. Thank you for considering diversifying the sex of Bloomington trees. I am hopeful we already are focusing on mixed or exclusively female trees and not falling into the trap of botanical sexism of male only.

Switchyard park has become unsafe. None of my mom friends want to hang out here. There’s men lurking around and sleeping in playground areas , it feels like they are watching the kids. Bloomington has to do something about the homeless situation or at least keep the homeless off the playgrounds!! Very disappointed that this beautiful playground is not safe for kids. At least add More security around playground area

After the north shore trail is complete, I do think it’s worth pursuing a full lake loop in collaboration with IU. A connection from the existing IU RTP to the Lanaam Trail would create a full Griffy Lake loop that would make an amazing trail system even better. It would also become a favorite of every trail runner in the area - a 10 mile loop this close to town would be fantastic!
