This morning at approximately 8:20, while I was riding a bicycle southbound on the B-Line trail over the Grimes Street bridge, I met a full-sized truck driving northbound on the B-Line Trail over the bridge. The truck was labeled Bloomington Parks and Recreation, and I spoke with the driver and passenger, who were staff members of the Parks and Recreation Department.
The posted rules of the B-Line trail prohibit motorized vehicles. I am aware that we make exceptions for motorized wheelchairs, electric bicycles, electric scooters, and the small trucks used by security and parks maintenance staff. However, my opinion is that a full-sized truck is well outside the range of acceptable exceptions. A full-sized truck is less safe, provides less visibility for the truck driver to see walkers and others on the trail, blocks more of the trail width, and causes more wear on the trail surface. My opinion is that full-sized trucks should not be on the B-Line, when there are alternate routes available for a truck on public streets, and alternative vehicles available to use on the B-Line trail.

It appears that a bird has dropped a dead squirrel in our lawn next to our steps at 508 N. Lincoln Street and is causing a very foul smell in the area. We were wondering if the town could help in removal of the dead animal.

LOCATED AT 212 N SHEFFIELD DR IN PARK RIDGE EAST. This neighbor continuously has pans of food on the ground. Sometimes it is birdseed, but it is currently cat food and has also been cheetoh balls. Walking by, we have witnessed many animals, other than birds and most often NOT birds, eating out of these pans. So many deer, groundhogs, raccoons, skunks, cats. I am not looking for someone to necessarily get a fine, but I do know they’re aware of the deer feeding ordinance, but they have continued to do so so more education seems necessary about the harmful effects of this practice. There are pans in the front of the yard and also around back behind their garden. The dead grass all over the yard makes it a parent how much feeding has occurred over the years.

Pothole. I reported this before and got a note saying it's fixed but it's not. It's right by another patch but it's big enough people swerve around it and there's a curve so that's a bit dangerous. Thanks!

I reported this before too, in this area there's a lot of uneven road but some definitive lower areas. Honestly from the stop light to the skate park this road is uneven and could use resurfaced but I know that's a lot so making this dip more even would be great. I did see them working here so they did some but there's still more. Thanks!

When turning onto Gilbert Drive from Walnut Street, a significant portion of the road (on the south side) has eroded. As cars swerve to avoid the road damage on the way into the neighborhood, they sometimes come face to face with an oncoming vehicle seeking to exit the neighborhood. This is creating a hazard for our residents and visitors. Would it be possible to send a team out to repair this section of Gilbert Drive?
With appreciation,
