The trail to Park Ridge Park is over grown to the point where bikes and peds can not pass each other without using the grass verge. Dangerous especially at evening

There is a hazardous sheet metal sculpture of a chicken setting on flat pavement adjacent to the B-Line. It is between Kirkwood Ave and Sixth St. When riding a bicycle on the B-Line here it is easy to veer over onto this adjacent pavement. The chicken's sheet metal wattles hang down so that they can be right in the path of a cyclist's head. Two different cyclists have told me that they have collided with these sheet metal chicken wattles. In both cases their helmets prevented serious injury. One of the cyclists showed me that their helmet was messed up by the collision. Something should be done to eliminate this situation.

I think the Limestone Greenway is a wonderful addition to our Trails. However, I think it needs at least one trash receptacle. Otherwise, it will get trashed.

The bollard at the head of the Polly Grimshaw Trail has broken off its base. The bollard itself is next to the trail out of the way. At this point, there is no protection of the trail or the park from cars/trucks. It seems like at least the broken bollard should be removed from the site and ideally a new one put in place.

I was attacked by a goose while biking on the new Tapp Rd trail. It was pretty vicious and knocked me over. I broke my ankle and will likely need surgery. These geese are aggressive and are likely to also hurt others

This description of the Clear Creek trail has two errors: 20.8 acres stretching 2.4 miles from Country Club Drive past Tapp Road to Church Lane, and connecting to the existing Bloomington Rail Trail. The trail does not start from Country Club, it starts from Tapp Road. It crosses both Rockport Road and That Road before getting to Church Lane.

1. That Rd. parking lot. There is a Sycamore tree at the far end, near the handicap parking space and the bicycle rack, that is really starting to lean to the northwest. The trunk is rotting/decaying and looks to be about a 1/3 gone. You may want to consider taking this tree down. 2.The 2 security lights at the Church Lane parking lot are not working. Would it be possible to have at least one of them turned on? This would be beneficial, especially now that the trail is being extended south of Church Lane. I'm assuming that there will be more foot/vehicle traffic in the near future. Thank you for your considerations. Bob Rosenberger 812-824-2169

Wildflowers along trail in Olcott Woods. I was saddened to find this spring that placing lights along this trail involved digging up a considerable amount of ground along the trail that has been home to many wildflowers. It is now covered with clumps of clay soil. Is something else going to be done to prevent erosion and ameliorate the loss of the plants?

This pile of trash is on the trail at Griffy that leads from Lanam Road to the creek. A few workers with wheelbarrows could remove it (once some downed trees on the trail are removed.)

These trees fell across the trail at Griffy that leads from Lanam Road to the creek. They are difficult to scramble over and need to be cut. They have been there awhile. They will need to be cut in order to remove the trash in my other ureport. There is another large tree near these that should probably be cut as well though it can be stepped over.
