Please see the numerous ureports regarding reckless kids on electric bikes on the B line. We need a more thorough response than “tell your city counselor.“ This is a dangerous situation and you all are not taking it seriously. Thank you.
This median is part of the city property and is never mowed. It is unsightly and overgrown as it has not been mowed this year. Please add this location to your mowing schedule for the City of Bloomington.
Around 8:30pm on May 28, 2026, a group of 4 or 5 kids on electric motorcycles were riding recklessly through Switchyard Park and on the B-Line Trail. These are motorcycles, not bicycles. They are dangerous for everyone else in the park and on the trail. The electric motorcycles take off quickly and travel at high rates of speed. These kids have a complete disregard for the safety of others. Someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed in Bloomington soon as a result of these kids on electric motorcycles. They are cutting across the B-Line Trail and through park facilities, swerving at people on the trail, passing close without announcing themselves or slowing down. People moving at human speed are not expecting a motorcycle traveling at 25+ mph to appear out of nowhere, weaving and doing wheelies. The City needs to send the police to patrol the B-Line and park to make sure innocent people doing things the right way are not seriously injured or killed by these motorcycles being illegally ridden on the trails in town. It is only a matter of time before someone is harmed. The City needs to do more to make it safe.
Yard overgrown Parking in grass Over occupancy
Overgrowth is so bad that you can hardly see the house.
I've been here for a few hours have seen three or four kids almost ran over from the scooter's flying through here on the trail part with no consideration for these kids
large potholes where street has begun to break down. This is an ongoing problem
The water at the switchyard dog park is still off. The hoses are out, but the water is not pumping out. It's getting hot and is difficult to fill the bucket via the water fountain.
A disturbed homeless person has turned the DETOUR sign near the bus stop on S Walnut (in front of the Smoke Shop) around, so that motorists coming from S Walnut, heading towards Second Street can only see the back of the sign.
