No trash cans around the barn at all. Especially near the picnic tables. All trash has to be carried back to the small parking lot. Design flaw. Maintenance trucks can drive up to the barn. Put a couple trash cans there.
On the trail that connects Olcott Park with the Sherwood Oaks Park and the Goat Farm, the lights along the trail stay on all day. In the past, they would turn off when it was bright and sunny out, but not any more. This has been occurring for the last few weeks. It seems like a waste of energy. Thanks!
We are new to Bloomington and have been enjoying the cities walking trails and parks. Sunday we visited Rail Trail walking trail on Country Club Drive and we were shocked at the amount of trash we saw. We parked in the lot and walked the rock trail and at the second bench we started seeing a lot of trash and debris on the access road to the left of the trail. LOTS of debris and it looked almost like a shanty town and camping areas set up. The area may be on private property don't know but it is a hazard. Just wanted to let you know
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.
Caller reported that a receptacle (with dog waste bags) attached to the pole on the B-Line, just south of Allen, has been pulled off and is sitting on the ground next to the pole.
The tulip poplar planted along the S High St recreational path last autumn is showing no signs of life this spring. All of the other tulip poplars in the area are now fully leafed out. This is the last tree in the row that includes the yellowwoods north of Wimbleton St. Would love for it to be replaced this year. Thanks.
There is someone tent camping in the approximate location of the pin in the above photo
A tree that cracked in half from the derecho in the summer has finally fully fallen down into the start of the trail along Wapehani by the entrance to Hidden Hills at Oakdale Square. It would be awesome if the tree could be sawed to reopen the trail. Otherwise, entry to Wapehani from that particular trail entrance is blocked.
The B-Link trail between S. Henderson and S. Walnut has no lights and is dangerous to ride after 7PM unless you have headlights, nevermind walking. I've been repeatedly surprised by wildlife while riding even with my bike headlights on, and have nearly crashed into the guardrail before. Please look into lighting the B-Link.
There are people camping out above the waterfall on the trail across the street from lower cascades playground.
