On Saturday evening, I was running on the Renwick Trail that connects Moores Pike to Sare Road. On the trail, a man was repeatedly driving a moped with children on the back of the moped. The trail, I believe, is intended only for cyclists, runners, and walkers, not for motorized vehicles, though there is no sign overtly prohibiting such use. The trail is winding and narrow and it was getting dark, making it very dangerous for this moped to drive through the trail. Several runners had to step off the trail to avoid the vehicle. I confronted the man about the issue, telling him it was not safe, but he was resistant, saying if I showed him a sign he would stop. I suspect he intends to ride the trail again. I request that, assuming such use of the trail is prohibited, a sign for the trail and for the police to keep an eye out for this man on his moped to keep the trail safe. Thank you.

Graffiti is all over the under side of the bridge leading into Renwick from Moores Pike. The underpass is a part of the Bloomington Trail.

I have a business at 3rd & Dunn and I watch vehicles go the wrong way almost everyday. Last Friday, a motorcycle rider almost got hit by another vehicle. The motorcycle driver ran up on the curb to avoid a collision. There is a one way sign located on the base of the stop light. That's not enough to warn people not to go the wrong way in oncoming traffic. Cars in both directions are traveling at fast rates of speed. It's only a matter of time when a bad wreck is going to occur. I seen two cars go the wrong way today within two minutes of each other. Also, there is one side of the street that needs a predestian crossing signal. I see students crossing at that corner taking a big risk crossing or attempting to cross the street with no idea that a vehicle is approaching the light. This is truly a problem and I don't want to witness someone getting hurt or killed because no one took action.

On 17th Street/Arlington Road from Morton Street West to the Highway 37 overpass there are bumps in the blacktop that extend across both lanes. It is like driving over multiple speed bumps. This situation as been like this for several years now. It would be nice if they could be ground down. Appreciate your attention to this matter.

Hello. Unless the City of Bloomington has annexed parts of the State of Illinois, I believe that there is a Google Maps error for the City of Bloomington Road Closing webpage. http://bloomington.in.gov/locations/?locationGroup_id=5 I do not think that the Bloomington Public Works Dept. is working in Montgomery County, Illinois today. I thought the webmaster would like to be informed of this error Thanks.

Dear City of Bloomington Staff, Thank you for your excellent service! Bloomington is very well-maintained and I feel very much at home here. I am a regular user of the Winslow Woods Park at 2120 S. Highland Ave. Just outside the tennis courts, there is a water fountain. I was wondering, is there a way you could install a hydration station there? They have them at my campus (Indiana University) and they provide clean, filtered water to students. If a hydration station is impractical, could a Brita Hydration System (http://www.britahydrationstation.com/) be an alternative? I drink regularly from the fountain and would very much appreciate a source of clean, filtered water there. Thank you very much, Olivia Lograsso

Watering Ban!! You've got to be kidding. The liberals strike again! Why not just restrict watering to the hours between 10PM and 6AM when the treatment plant is under-utilized anyway. Where do I send the bill for landscaping?

The 500 block of West Kirkwood has a trash container fastened to the #3 bus stop sign on the south side of the street. Folks are good about using it to dispose of their trash. However, the bus stop on the north side of the street is without a trash container---so there's litter all over the grass, curb and sidewalk. I don't know who distributes or cleans these containers, but I'd like to see a trash container attached to the stop sign on the north side of the street in the 500 block of West Kirkwood. This area is part of the BEAD district and should be kept as clean as possible. Thank you! --Chris Paputsas

I would like to report a series of potholes in the west bound lanes of Covenantor Drive on the northside of the road near the wooded area just east of building containing dental offices, approximately the 3000 or 3100 east block on Covenantor. Please see the attached map and the approximate area is outlined in red It appears that these holes are caused by the many Bloomington Transit Buses that drive on this road and it also appears that these holes have been patched several times in the past. The holes are getting deeper. I hope that these series of holes can be patched properly before the first snow. Thanks.
