A winding asphalt path runs through the middle of Bryan Park between Woodlawn and Henderson. Originally it was cinder-paved and used primarily by recreational pedestrians and runners. It now serves cyclists, as a connector between the bike-pedestrian lanes on Sheridan and Southdowns on the east and the Allen Street Greenway on the west. I believe it is state law that cyclists yield to pedestrians but on this path many cyclists don't warn pedestrians when they are overtaking nor do they slow down when pedestrians are present. Because of the path's curvy nature; defensive cycling really requires slower speed. Please post notices at the Woidlawn and Henderson ends of the path, alerting cyclists to slow down and be aware of the blind curves.
My son is a player at BHSN and a paying member of the Cascades golf course (as required in order for him to play here during the golf season). Last week his team had a match at the golf course. Tee time was 315 and the boys were required to be off the course by 530 in order for league play. My parents came to watch him play. My parents are 69 and 74 and my dad is on dialysis with 4 blockages in his heart. He OBVIOUSLY cannot walk a golf course. My mother had contacted the course the day before to see if they could reserve a cart and was told ‘you don’t need to reserve one, it will be no problem just come in and get one and it will be $16’. On the day of the match, she showed up and went inside to get a cart and was told by the people working that day that there were no carts available because they had league that night. My mom then asked about what she was told the day before and the gentleman working the counter said ‘we don’t rent carts for high school matches. Sorry’. Sherie. Explained that my dad was a dialysis patient and unable to walk the course and he again said ‘sorry’ and dismissed her. The picture I have attached shows where all the carts were lined up at 515 when we came off the course. There were carts that were lined up in front of the clubhouse the whole time the boys were playing waiting for the league - which again DID NOT START until after the boys were off the course. There were carts available but they would not rent them but rather let them sit there for over 2 hours waiting for league players to arrive. We have been notified by the coach that this may be a “new” expectation from the course from here on out as they had changed the rules without discussing this with the high school. This is a CITY OWNED COURSE therefore there should be an expectation that the course is expected to follow the American Disability Act legislation. Players of any age can play golf whether they can walk the course or not. This is unacceptable and a complete disregard for ADA legislation which are federal laws - not local. We were not asking for anything for free. We understood we would be paying for a cart but the fact that multiple carts sat there for hours not being used but not available to someone with an obvious disability is not only morally unacceptable but appears it may be illegal as well. This is blatant discrimination against someone with a disability. In addition, my son is a paying member of this club yet I am Now being told that we can not even practice on this course as we have in previous years. This is unacceptable in multiple ways. I expect a response
New speed bump is extremely harsh even at very low speeds. Throws the car and driver around very aggressively
Street light is out
Large pothole and missing curb section on eastern edge of Indiana Avenue in front of Dunn Meadow. Its large enough to be hazardous and we have received complaints about it potentially causing damage to vehicles. Thanks in advance!
There are transients laying on the B Line trail between 8th and 7th street in Bloomington. This is illegal and should be taken care of.
Transients are sleeping on the tables in the park shelter at Butler Park. This is illegal and should be stopped.
Bed bugs
There is a large spool of wire which was left adjacent to the city bus stop outside Templeton. This was left there during fiber installation well over a year ago. Maybe more.
