Illegal dumping on CSX Transportation property directly next to B-Line trail. I have contacted the County Solid Waste Department, but they had said they cannot do anything since access would be required on the B-Line trail. Please send me an email at [email protected] or call me at (260) 416-2558 so we can talk about getting this taken care of. Thanks! -Blake

I was just curious why the back part of the trail from the dog park to country club isn’t getting plowed. I live along that section of trail and have to walk through a foot of snow to get to the other side that is plowed.

Lights are still out on a portion (long portion) of the trail - been over a week since I gave notice. it's dark there, even flying through on a bike. walking, it would be a long stroll in the dark. what's up? waiting on a part? if so, we should order some extras to have around. if we are waiting on a vendor, we should get a backup vendor. just seems important to safety and being able to patrol it effectively. Sorry to chafe on you, but nearing 70 years young and not looking forward to tussling with any hoodlums that get emboldened by the lack of lights. And I did not see the security guys, which was weird on a night without lights, their little vehicle should have stood out to me. Thanks in advance for taking care of this.

As someone who walks a lot, I appreciate the B-Line trail and how well the city maintains it, including promptly clearing snow. So I was disappointed today when I had to tiptoe through ice on the trail near WonderLab, between 4th and Kirkwood. Thank you.

Lamppost #142 light is out on the B-Line trail. It is the first lamppost on the west side of Rogers Street near the City Hall Plaza. This is a dangerous crosswalk as cars often speed through the walk.

In 2024, the City of Bloomington planted native species along the west side of the B-Line trail adjacent to the 300 & 400 block of Mortons St. After a year of growth the portion next to the B-Line trail looks fine; however the “back side” of this planted area that is on the east side of Morton St is heavily overgrown, encroaching 3 to 4 feet into Morton St, obstructing traffic, pedestrians and bikers on Morton St. this is becoming a safety issue due to the narrowing of the street die to overgrown, and un-kempt planting of native plants along the B-Line trail. Requesting that the City of Bloomington groom the back side of this native planting, along Mortton St as to not obstruct the normal use of Morton shared by pedestrians, bikes and traffic.

While walking west on the B-Line Trail from the intersection of South Henderson Street and Thornton Avenue toward South Walnut Street, I noticed what appeared to be a dark blue sack or piece of material with something wrapped inside of it on the left side of the trail. I did not observe any visible human or animal remains, but the way the material was wrapped seemed unusual. It may simply be discarded belongings or personal effects, but I wanted to report it so that the appropriate city department can check the area. It's closer to the S. Walnut end.

Hello--I have noticed sewer gas smell for the last couple of weeks at the NW end of the trail and on 10th Street in this area. Not sure if it is present all the time, I tend to be walking in this area around 12 and 5 p.m. Thank you!

Is there a way to protect pedestrians/bikers on the B-Line Trail by adding retractable bollards or something on the yellow painted line by intersections so that cars don't mistake the trail for a road? Thank you in advance for working towards a solution that will help improve the safety of all.
