How does Bloomington determine the appropriate lifeguard-patron ratio for the city's public pools? How often is a responsible staff member actively evaluating safety needs during the course of the pool hours? (Seeking an actual response, as I notice that recent U-reports asking this question have been closed despite zero answers.)
On August 10-11, there was an alarming disconnect between lifeguards and actual use of the facility. Despite a hot, sunny weekend with dozens of patrons in and around the main pool (including plenty of small children), there was only a single lifeguard on duty sitting on the ground level staff bench for the **entire main pool**. At least on Aug 17-18, the west end of the main pool was closed, reducing by half the active scan area for the single on duty lifeguard.
It would be terrible to have a safety emergency at the city pools worsened by underestimating the need for lifeguards on duty.

The walking paths around Bryan Park are sheets of ice. This is a heavily-trafficked area and incredibly dangerous to walk on. One must walk in the road (on busy Woodlawn) to avoid the ice, which is itself dangerous.

This large branch appears to be broken but is hanging directly above the walking path in Bryan Park. It is located along the path that goes alongside the creek, east of the restroom and near the corner of the fence for the pool.
