Compared to the Clear Creek Trail south segment the northern 2 sections are cluttered with debris. Please sweep and clear fallen tree trunks and leaves on the trail from Tapp Rd Church lane. See pic. Thank you.
There are two dead trees on the north side of the B-Line trail, near lamppost 156 and the intersection with the railroad. It would be good to remove them before they fall on someone.
The door lock is broken on the porta-potty in the Church Lane parking lot of the Clear Creek trail.
cement is broken, showing plastic pvc pipe that seems like it is getting a lot of wear and possibly flexing more than it should. Seems like it could be a tripping hazard and possibly break, becoming even a larger hazard.
Trash in area behind convention center off blind trail
There's a wasp nest on the BLink trail on the south side of the trail, about .1 miles west of Henderson.
Hi! I was wondering if there might be any plans, long-term or short-term, for devising a somewhat less death-defying way for the Bloomington Rail Trail to cross Rogers Road (between Gordon Pike and That Road). Especially if you are on the Trail traveling south, because of the angle at which the Trail crosses Rogers, it is nearly impossible to see oncoming north-bound traffic. I am a long-time user of the trail (for more than 15 years), and have crossed Rogers at that point countless times, on foot and on my bicycle, as there really was no other option. Lately, however, I have been using the new “spur” trail, and crossing through to That Road using the construction staging area for the “SOMO” development, so that I can then cross Rogers at a 90° angle, with a clear view of traffic. That is a less-harrowing way to cross Rogers, of course. But it is not clear to me that the spur trail will continue to access That Road after the “SOMO” development is fully built out. And, using this method does mean that I have to use the traffic lane over the narrow bridge where That Road crosses over Clear Creek before I can re-join the Rail Trail headed south. It seems to me likely that traffic on this part of Rogers will increase when the Gordon-Fullerton connector is completed next month, exacerbating the situation. So, this is not an emergency of any kind. But just a query to see if the City has any plans to address the issue. Thank you for your time, and for all the good work that you do.
Not sure if this is your jurisdiction or not. It is where this trail crosses South Rogers, a little north of That Rd.. When driving north on Rogers, drivers cannot see pedestrians, or runners who are headed south. The trail meets the road at an angle and there are bushes which block any view of oncoming persons until the driver is right at the trail. Just need to cut back the bushes.
An active hornets nest is in a tree hanging directly over the eastbound walking/cycling path on Sheridan Dr. near Bryan Park. It’s on a lower branch that hangs over the path, and it’s perfectly positioned to cause stings on the head/face. We unfortunately found that out the hard way.
Latimer to Clarizz trail is overgrown - needs some trimming!
