Lights 130, 132, and 133 on the B-Line trail are out. Don't know if they ever got fixed from my last report.
I am a runner who parks at the Grimes/Patterson/Bike Garage trail head and runs south on the B-line most every day. Today for the first time after work (5:45-6:30pm) that parking lot was 90% full. Everyone who I observed coming and going from the parking lot had a gym bag and went in to Crossfit rather than using the trail. It seems like Crossfit as a commercial venture should have to secure its own parking for its patrons rather than allowing them to park for free in the trailhead lot to the detriment of trail users. Is it possible you may speak to the Crossfit owners or put up signage there before the students come back and it gets worse? Thank you for letting me know about this, in case there is nothing to be done and I need to find somewhere new to run.

A constituent complained to a Councilmember that the Polly Grimshaw trail is badly overgrown and there are several places on the end east of Pete Ellis that are nearly impassable. The constituent said that it would be impossible for two oncoming cyclists to pass each other. Constituent said that sight distances are very poor and the west end "looks like someone went through with a machete about a month ago and took out some of the overgrowth (leaving the remains all over the trail)." The constituent requests that the immediate concern with overgrowth be addressed and that this trail be put on a regular maintenance schedule.
I was walking along the B-Line Trail yesterday when I spotted a patch of dodder about 75 sq. ft. in area. It was located at light no. 32, in the Switchyards. This stuff is terrible once it gets going, but if you contain it now you'll save yourselves an awful lot of heartache in the future. If you need additional info, feel free to call me at 812.929.1513. Thanks for all you do, and all best wishes. John Linnemeier
There is excessive growth on the walking/biking trail that starts in Park Ridge and follows the train tracks behind Woodbridge apartments. The section that goes between park ridge and pete ellis along the tracks is the worst. It is difficult to bike the trail.
Light 143 on the B-Line trail is covered with moss and not providing light to the trail.
