This is a Positive Review My husband and I have been walking Bloomington trails for a decade. This past year we have discovered the last 2 segments out on Dillman Rd. It’s a lovely part of the trail covered by trees for more shade and cooler in the heat of summer. During this time we also noticed the consistent upkeep of this segment. Following the friendly custom of speaking to other walkers, we realized a consensus existed on the excellent work & commitment of Mr. Troy Carter, who cares for that particular section of trail. He is always working, always doing what needs to be done. My husband Howard, often commented that during his decades of working at Crane NSWC, he always looked for people who had this work ethic, always doing their job even when not supervised. He also is always kind and courteous to the trail users, answering questions, giving directions & just being courteous to everyone who walks by. For example if he’s blowing leaves, cutting grass, etc he will pause pulling the trigger in the few moments it takes a walker to pass him by. A small gesture possibly but a boon to those of us that use our walks for conversation or solely for the tranquility of nature and is simply a kind human gesture. We trail walkers appreciate all that he does and simply wanted to say Thank You.

During a Weed Wrangle at Clear Creek, we came upon some large debris that was too much for us to carry out. I've included a pic of the debris. The pile can be found near the creek. My geographical coordinates when I stood near the pile were: 39°08'05.7"N 86°33'40.4"W. To get there, follow the paved path south of the Tapp Rd parking lot for about 0.10 miles. There is a foot path that heads west into the woods. Follow the path until it's past the limestone blocks, then head north off the path toward the creek. The red cooler is easy to spot now that the leaves are down.

Hello! For accessibility purposes I am requesting a permanent trail marker on the rail trail pictured. It can be challenging for some individuals to navigate to the entrance and exit of the rail trail pictured. This entrance is behind 433 w somersbe, however I am requesting a marker on the public trail to denote what portion this is on the trail. It would be greatly appreciated if this marker included large characters for the visually impaired. I appreciate your review of this request and consideration. Thank you.
