Hi, I am hoping you can forward this to the appropriate person to address this concern. This weekend I was biking with my son, going east on 1st St and entering Rogers-Binford campus by the playground. We were approaching the trail connection at the end of 1st street east of High St and I was largely focused on the road because it's a bit bumpy there. At the last second I realized there was a metal chain stretched halfway across the trail. I was able to slam on my brakes and skid to a stop, but it was quite a close call. The chain is not particularly visible and wasn't there the last time we went through. We came very close to getting hurt, and it seems likely that someone will get hurt if it stays as is. Someone going through at night is going to be in for a rough surprise. I understand you probably put the vertical post on a tire in the middle of the trail to discourage cars from driving through there and that seems fine, but please (please!) don't stretch a chain across the trail. Or if there's some critical reason that the chain is there, then at least hang a bunch of large bright flags from it or something. Thank you! - RS

An expansive plant is growing across half the trail the length of two Winslow Farm units. It needs to be cut way back to allow the entire width of the trail to be used. I don't think the Winslow Farms Association feels any ownership or responsibility for it.

Tree cleanup needed in the creek alongside the Clear Creek Trail between That Road and Church Lane. There were trees at various locations that fell into the creek from the trail side that the city owns. These trees cause a potential flood hazard and need to be removed. I spoke with City of Bloomington Stormwater and MS4 Coordinator and they referred me to report this to Parks and Rec to take care of the issue.

We were walking down the B-line trail north of Hopscotch and south of Kroger when we saw one of the security patrol mini trucks swerve at a high speed around two women who were walking south towards us. He seemed to be going way too fast for B-line traffic. I think the license plate number was MT415A. He swerved around us and sped south.

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.
