The hand dryers in Twin Lakes bathrooms sound like a jet plane taking off. As the worst case of noise pollution I’ve ever heard, why have they not been replaced? See https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/05/13/is-noise-pollution-the-next-big-public-health-crisis

My daughter dropped her keys in lake Griffey while out there in a canoe. We left a note on her car and spoke with Allie and Caroline. The locksmith can’t get a key made until July 30 or July 31. We left a note in there not to tow her car. It’s a silver Mitsubishi Outlander. My number is8123205339 if you have any questions. Thanks Sarah
When clicking on the link "Bryan Park Pool Activity Calendar", only Mills Pool calendar pops up. Where can Bryan Park Pool information & calendar be found? Thank you, Julie- M Farrar 812-219-5340
I was a spectator at Twin Lakes Fields on Tuesday the 6th. There was an obvious safety threat with a sky full of lightning and no action was being taken. I felt like this was neglect at the very least.
Our home, at 1016 S. Manor Road, is directly across Woodlawn from the Bryan Park Pool. There are security lights on the west side of the pool which point directly towards our house, illuminating our bedroom even with the shades down. It would see far more neighborly if the lights were on the east side of the pool, facing deeper into the park rather than into our neighborhood. Is this something you can remedy?
First - thank you for how responsive the department has been to our observations about Park Ridge Park. We really appreciate it! Park Ridge has a density of plants in and around it and is a relatively small park. As such, the amount of debris that can accumulate on the park compared to its size is quite high. We have witnessed that this debris tends to remain over the winter and well into spring if it isn't removed. We have seen that this eventually causes problems as the debris prevents grass from overwintering well and regrowing in the spring. This leads to bare spots (especially since the park is pretty all sloped except for the build in structures) leading to erosion. The Parks Department has worked diligently to mitigate these erosion issues through sowing grass seed, putting down straw mats, etc. This has been effective at at least stopping the erosion. However, I wonder if these mitigation efforts will have to be repeated next spring given the amount of debris in park. I suggest removing the debris now to hopefully prevent future problems and accompanying efforts to fix those problems. Please let us know what you think and thanks again for your responsiveness and hard work at making Park Ridge and Bloomington a great place to live and work. Cheers, John
Scooter report- in ditch at Griffy causeway
Hi, I'd like information about donating a memorial bench at the Winslow Sports Park. My dad recently passed away. He loved walking his basset hounds at the park, so we'd like to place a memorial bench for him there. How should we proceed? Thanks for your help.
