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

'Davis Family Music Lessons' sign at the corner of E Third and Woodscrest, near the Walk-in clinic in the grass. The Elevate map shows that the property line does not extend to the foot path. You have to decide whether this is in the ROW or not.

The east/west bound traffic light only allows about 3 cars through before the signal rotates to red, allowing north/south traffic through even if there are no vehicles there. Causing significant traffic backup on Patterson.

What are the safety protocols for lifeguards on duty? There are two lifeguards on duty for the main pool at 2:30 pm, but the elevated chairs designed for lifeguards to easily scan the pool are empty. Instead, both lifeguards are seated together, chatting on the staff bench. There are easily 60+ people at the Bryan Park Pool now and plenty of small children. Until this weekend, lifeguards at Bryan Park Pool used the elevated chairs all summer and rotated frequently. Follow-up to #192811: https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=192811

This morning at 10 am, the two dogs who live at 2008 E Greenbriar charged, barking with ears flat, my small dog and I, again. Thanks to two other passersby, the dogs got home. However. This is at least the third time these dogs have charged us personally in the street this year. Other neighbors also have had difficulties. On a previous occasion, a neighbor who lives on Hyde Park Circle told me, "We've also had trouble with them." Another time, a small boy who saw me walking by the house said, "Be careful. Sometimes those dogs get out. They chased me." He said neighbors came to help him. I don't want anything bad to happen to the dogs. I also don't want to feel as if I have to be prepared for a possible attack every time I walk by the house, which is how I currently feel. (I walk my dog daily and there aren't many other ways out of the neighborhood.) My dog is terrified of other dogs, even when they don't come on the run and barking, and I have a responsibility to protect him. What has to happen in order to keep this from occurring on a semi-regular basis? Thank you.

I found a dead rabbit near my mailbox. The rabbit was either left there after it had been killed or it may have died there. I don't want to touch it. The location is 4420 E Cambridge Ct.
