The lights from 6th to 8th Street, on the B-Line, have been out since this weekend. Those are #104-112. Thought it might have been a fuse or something, but since it's been this long, wonder if anyone knows. Thanks.
The trail / path around Bryan Park is being obstructed on the northwest corner of the tennis courts. The bushes and brush are overgrown and reducing the width of the path significantly.
The Rail Trail needs some work! It needs YOU to show it some love. There are some problems . . . FIRST: Entering the Rail Trail from Country Club, the trees / shrubs at the parking lot are overgrowing into the sidewalk / path along the parking lot. You can almost not see the handicap parking sign from the overgrowth, too. The sidewalk is being impeded horizontally as well as vertically from branches hanging down. SECOND: There are numerous low hanging branches between Country Club and Gordon Pike on the trail. On a bicycle, these require ducking or maneuvering around. This can be hazardous. THIRD: There is a dead tree that is leaning over the trail, resting its top on another tree across the trail. That is between Country Club and Gordon Pike. This is maybe 1/3 to 1/2 a mile south of the Country Club Drive parking lot. This seems like it is ripe for falling on someone or blocking the trail, as it hangs there perilously. FOURTH: Someone goofed and put oversized gravel on the trail to fix some holes. This gravel is not safe on the trail for multiple reasons. One reason is that it is looser than the other gravel, so it is a change in surface that can cause bikes or walkers to lose balance. Also, the gravel is bigger so it is tougher to ride or walk or run across, and could cause injuries. As a result, people swerve around it and try to avoid it. This is causing people going in one direction to impede those going in the other at times. Can we get some smaller gravel / fill that matches the existing bed of the trail put in place? Having that big gravel is a total disaster creating multiple problems. I've almost lost balance / control on my bike in that bigger gravel. It needs to be replaced ASAP.

Complaint of high brush growing out into road, obstructing view of trail crossing. Located at the intersection of Gordon Pike and the Bloomington Rail Trail. The brush makes it almost impossible for cars to see pedestrians crossing the street on the trail. Request brush to be trimmed.

Complaint of vegetation blocking sight lines where the Clear Creek Trail crosses W. That Rd. as well as where Clear Creek Trail crosses Victor Pike. He said the vegetation needs to be cut back further from the road to provide a better line of sight line for both pedestrians and cars.
