400-498 W 2nd St, Bloomington, Indiana, 47403

Case Date:

I noticed the recent guidelines for scooters don't specifically explain who has the right-of-way on the B-line trail. It's already unclear whether cars are supposed to yield to bike traffic. Some do, some don't, leading to confusion in the entire community. Now the same is applying to electric scooters. I was on a scooter on the B-Line this morning, slowed as I approached 2nd Street, and cars in each direction had also slowed as if they were yielding. I proceeded through the crossing but the westbound car did not in fact yield and nearly hit me (at a very low speed, granted--so I couldn't tell if they didn't see me or were being super aggressive). So when I approached the 4th Street crossing I came to a dead stop, as did the cars on 4th Street, waving me on. TL;DR the right-of-way rules on the B-Line were already unclear and are even more so now with a third major type of trail use. Please create clear signage at every major intersection on the trail that states who has the right-of-way so that both trail users and vehicular traffic understand the rules.

The B-line trail, between Tapp Road and Grimes, there is a lengthy u-shaped detour. It is covered in large rocks that make it nearly impossible to navigate on a road bike (my bike tires are 25mm). Several times I have nearly fallen over as the rocks engulf my small tires. I am a female bike commuter. I commute to the hospital at 6:30am and come home at 7:30pm. I no longer feel safe riding the trail due to the hazards of this rocky detour. I am at risk for either taking a significant fall or puncturing a tire. This makes me vulnerable. Please, either pack down the large rocks or cover this detour with a tarp.

639 N Maple ST

Hello! I’m a resident of 639 north maple street. On my dead end street, there is an untrimmed, unofficial entrance that MANY residents of the neighborhood access on a daily basis. However, the path that has been roughly paved by passerby’s is steep, rocky, untrimmed and dangerous, especially in rain or snow. Even in the summer, it is dangerous. Children and pregnant women have issues going through here. I have tried to enter the b-line this way, but it’s too dangerous and steep for me. Anyway we can get something done for the neighborhood? We know there’s a sidewalk and safer way after the bridge on 11th to access, but out of convenience or maybe ambiance, most people enter through our dead end makeshift entrance. The makeshift entrance seems to not be in a definitive tenants yard/property. No one really knows. If someone could come check it out, that’d be great and appreciated. Thanks! - Ruth

Today I took my little sister and nephew to free skate at the Frank Southern Ice Skating Arena. While our overall visit was pleasant, I am concerned about the number of adults on staff during the free skate. It seemed to be staffed mostly by highschoolers, who would let their peers who were very good skaters recklessly skate in and out of the less experienced skaters and small children. It seemed dangerous. While this didn't upset me too much, I made a point to say something directly to the kids doing it, as it seemed they were friends with the staff. Further the adult on duty today, a man at least 40, who was dressed in all blue, seemed to be the least mature of all. As I was helping my nephew take of his skates, and my little sister was sitting next to him taking off hers, he walked by at least 3 times to stare at my sister's chest. When he made his third pass I said "there's no need to stare sir" unsure if he heard me or not. After I said this, he did not make another pass, but instead went behind the concessions counter. While I know these claims are probably not verifiable, it deeply disturbed me, and I don't think I will take my little sister or nephew back to Frank Southern unless some staffing changes are made.

Hi, I'd like information about donating a memorial bench at the Winslow Sports Park. My dad recently passed away. He loved walking his basset hounds at the park, so we'd like to place a memorial bench for him there. How should we proceed? Thanks for your help.

The recently removed Wapahani lake has produced a new washout problem; and I’m also concerned that a similar problem is going to happen to the remaining lake of the old twin lakes of years past. I’m not sure why people think removing a large body of water is the best answer for alleviating water issues. Anyway, before I digress further. I know the city/county are well aware that something permanent will need to be done. My hopes are that a well thought out plan will be considered
