Question: Is there a chance to have more gravel spread on the red clay dirt prior to the bike path? It's been okay with the dry summer, but it is impossible to pass from Tapp. to the bike path when muddy with the rains. Thank you for this consideration. My alternate route is biking up Tapp to 37S. As you are aware, Tapp, under construction is also less than ideal.
Your "choose location" option sucks. The "pothole" I'm reporting is the newly constructed Tapp Road in its entirety. Have any of you driven on that? You can actually SEE the waves in the pavement and it's such a rough ride that it's jarring. And you're going to open the bridge with the road in that condition? Shameful.
Water from nearby creek was overflowing after a rain storm. there is a large fallen tree daming the creek raising waterlevel.

On the bicycle sidepath bridge, where Tapp Rd goes over Clear Creek, some sheet metal has pealed loose and sticks up. Here is a Google Maps Satellite view showing its location: https://goo.gl/maps/uyK2Pq3j1h12
porta potty has no toilet paper and desperately needs to be pumped.
Porta Potty's on both ends of these trails need cleaned. From Tapp to That rd.
The entire length of the Clear Creek Trail from Tapp Road to Church Lane needs serious tree trimming work. The number of branches obstructing the path is quite high all throughout the trail. It's dangerous as people dodge branches.
Hi! I was wondering if there might be any plans, long-term or short-term, for devising a somewhat less death-defying way for the Bloomington Rail Trail to cross Rogers Road (between Gordon Pike and That Road). Especially if you are on the Trail traveling south, because of the angle at which the Trail crosses Rogers, it is nearly impossible to see oncoming north-bound traffic. I am a long-time user of the trail (for more than 15 years), and have crossed Rogers at that point countless times, on foot and on my bicycle, as there really was no other option. Lately, however, I have been using the new “spur” trail, and crossing through to That Road using the construction staging area for the “SOMO” development, so that I can then cross Rogers at a 90° angle, with a clear view of traffic. That is a less-harrowing way to cross Rogers, of course. But it is not clear to me that the spur trail will continue to access That Road after the “SOMO” development is fully built out. And, using this method does mean that I have to use the traffic lane over the narrow bridge where That Road crosses over Clear Creek before I can re-join the Rail Trail headed south. It seems to me likely that traffic on this part of Rogers will increase when the Gordon-Fullerton connector is completed next month, exacerbating the situation. So, this is not an emergency of any kind. But just a query to see if the City has any plans to address the issue. Thank you for your time, and for all the good work that you do.
