Latimer woods trail has a tree dropping dangerously large limbs onto the trail. Taking the trail clockwise, the tree is on the left just past the footbridge.
At the Twin Lakes Sports Park, there is a trail in the woods that goes behind the solar panels. A tree has fallen onto the trail, completely blocking it. The tree is near the entrance to the trail near a small bridge and the solar panels.
Bloomington's Twin Lakes Sports Park . There is a tree that has been blocking the walking trail behind the Solar Array farm for the past 3 months. It is located on the side of the Array where the creek is. Please fix, thank you.
On the trail through the middle of Bryan Park, just east of the boardwalk, there is a low hanging branch. It's even lower when it's wet. It's too low to safely bike under it and even someone who is not tall has to duck to walk under it. It should be taken down.
There is a person passed out in this location
Employees in a security vehicle patrolling the Bline trail were smoking in the vehicle while driving through Switchyard Park. This seems like a lapse in oversight and resulted in negatively impacting the experience visiting the park.
There are at least five camps of unhoused individuals along this stretch of trail. They are now clearing the land for firewood and also running generators. There is trash everywhere and almost daily screaming fights that are spilling over into the adjacent Broadview neighborhood, including an assault yesterday, 1/7 on Bryan. What's the long term plan here? The parcels on either side of the trail are owned by Autovest II LLC.
Please clear all of the homeless camps along the Bloomington Rail Trail. They are living along the trail on City owned property and it is making the trail less safe for everyone who uses the trail system. Please clear all of this illegal activity out before it becomes a bigger hazard like it has done in many other areas of the City. A secluded, wooded trail area is not the proper place to allow this congregation of a community that is known to have murders, thefts, fires, drug use, and other issues in various other camps the City and County have shut down. Take this seriously and clean up the trails for the residents of Bloomington be safely enjoy.
In response to uReport 187125: The response from the City said, "the majority of these issues are taking place on private property." Based on the location of the camps I was referring to, just north of Gordon Pike and to the east of the Rail Trail and east of the parallel gravel road, these are located on City-owned property. An image from the GIS showing the property owners of record for the parcels and the general area of the camps is attached. The City need not work with any private landowners to clean this up. It is City property being used to make the trail unsafe for everyone. Clear this activity out so it can make the secluded, wooded trail safer for all users. Thanks.
