Dear Whom it may concern,
I have a question related to my previous report (https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=214067). I saw that many kids drive dirt e-motorbikes threatening pedestrians on the park road. Is it legal for them to drive those motorized vehicles on the park trails? Currently, park regulation prohibit any motorized vehicles on the park trails. I think that they are definitely motorized vehicles because they are not e-bicycle with pedals. Therefore those e-motorbikes are not allowed on park trails under current rules. Am I right? I am wondering why city is not taking action (such as impose fines or warning etc.) for this serious violation. You should see how these kids are threatening pedestrians and stunting on the trails and streets. They are just literally racing in the jackson creek trail shouting "get out of the way" to the pedestrians. I reported this to 911 since last year three times. How long we should wait? It is a matter of time before somebody, either one of those kids or pedestrians, get seriously injured or worse. Please put the police officer on the trail between 4-7 pm. If the police wants to identify them, I have the video of these kids. PLEASE take this seriously.
Thanks.

Dear Whom it may concern,
I realized that there are several kids (middle schoolers or six-graders) are driving crazy with dirt e-motorbike on the streets and park trails. These motor-bike's speeds are definitely over 30 mph sometimes, and I am sure that these kids doesn't have driver's licenses. They don't show any respect on the traffic rule because they don't know the rules. Once I see that one kid drove this motorbike at the school zone (Childs elementary school) around 3:50 pm when school kids are getting out. They are not just racing but do some stunt in front of all kids showing off. I see many times that they are literally racing on the Jackson Creek trail shouting "get out of the way" to pedestrians. I reported this several times to 911, but nothing changes. Please take some actions (impose fines and warnings to their parents) before somebody dies or serious hurt. It is just a matter of time. Please take this seriously and immediate actions. I can provide videos if the police wants to identify these kids. PLEASE.
Trash

Trash in bags and scattered trash on ground in the back of the unit. Visible from 8th street.

On the northwest side of 2nd & Walker, the construction work has cut a massive opening in the multi-use path. The asphalt is gone across the entire width of the trail, and there is a probably 5-8 inch deep abyss that is very dangerous on a bike, and would certainly be challenging for anyone walking or in a wheelchair trying to get through there safely. Can this be addressed?

This part of the temporary fence fell down and blocked the temporary walkway. I got it balanced precariously but this whole section is in need of more stability. The sandbags seem to be washed away, perhaps add new ones?

There is a home located at 505 S Highland Ave that has had trash piled along with old wet furniture, boxes, etc... since the beginning of Aug. I was at the home next door to it this weekend and witnessed two rats running from the pile of debris. A couple of the surrounding homes have report mouse problems including where my son is living and they have seen mice running from that area into their garage area as well. This needs to be cleaned up. It is causing a major pest problem.

There is a huge wasp's nest in a tree in front of 1311 South Dunn Street. Are we going to wait until the next storm knocks it down and smashes wasps all over the sidewalk?
