Regarding biking etiquette in Bloomington...my husband and I walk the wonderful trails almost daily, through all the seasons. We are truly appreciative of these trails. We are perplexed and sometimes frightened by the lack of biking etiquette displayed on the trails. Almost daily, we are startled by someone passing us at a high rate of speed without any warning. I have nearly "fallen off" the trail more than once. I am grateful I have not sprained an ankle...or worse (yet) I know there would be some cost involved, but honestly, isn't pedestrian safety worth it? I have serious osteoporosis. If I am hit, unwittingly, by a biker who did not show the common courtesy of giving an "on your left" warning" in time for us to move quickly out the way, it could be life-changing for me and many other walkers, especially the elderly. How about a sign posted in a prominent place on each trail educating bikers of their responsibility to ride responsibly? Sure, they may speed past the signs, but perhaps if posted where they are getting ready to ride, they may read them and consider the safety of the walkers they are speeding past (and sometimes weaving around) Of course the same should be assumed for electric vehicles. Walkers need, and deserve, a fair warning of anyone approaching. Let's not let someone break a hip or worse before we address this. Thank you for listening and for the work you do to make Bloomington an awesome place to live!

Trying to find regulations on creating a non-mown front yard. Could it be filled with native plants? Could it resemble a native wildflower meadow? Could I remove the grass and replant with native clovers? Trying to find a sustainable and beneficial solution to not have to mow.

The city owns land near tri north at the round about and fails to keep the grass maintained. However the city also fines land owners for doing so. It shouldn't be ironic land owners and contractors get fined and the city are able. Please make it right by clearing the high grass and understanding a relationship of notice and engaging is a better solution. Just like residences are giving the city a warning. Thank you for taking your time to read.

I tried to attend the Strawberry Shortcake festival. All day on the radio they said there is a drive-through service to order and pick up food.
Because I am handicapped, I expected to use the drive through. When I got there, there were signs saying DRIVE THROUGH CLOSED.
Everyone was told to get in line. The line stretched across the parking lot. There is no way I could stand in line that long.
