B-Line Trail, 298 W Country Club Dr, Bloomington, IN 47403, USA

I was just curious why the back part of the trail from the dog park to country club isn’t getting plowed. I live along that section of trail and have to walk through a foot of snow to get to the other side that is plowed.

As someone who walks a lot, I appreciate the B-Line trail and how well the city maintains it, including promptly clearing snow. So I was disappointed today when I had to tiptoe through ice on the trail near WonderLab, between 4th and Kirkwood. Thank you.

Lamppost #142 light is out on the B-Line trail. It is the first lamppost on the west side of Rogers Street near the City Hall Plaza. This is a dangerous crosswalk as cars often speed through the walk.
Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)

Hello--I have noticed sewer gas smell for the last couple of weeks at the NW end of the trail and on 10th Street in this area. Not sure if it is present all the time, I tend to be walking in this area around 12 and 5 p.m. Thank you!

Is there a way to protect pedestrians/bikers on the B-Line Trail by adding retractable bollards or something on the yellow painted line by intersections so that cars don't mistake the trail for a road? Thank you in advance for working towards a solution that will help improve the safety of all.

Light #107 has been faltering for some time and is now strobing. It will completely fail soon, since it has been pale for quite a while. Light #115 is out/dark.

There is a fair amount of ice on the trail between 3rd and 4th. I know it may be melted before anyone checks this out, but I wanted to mention it to remind the city that it should comply with its own ordinance. Yesterday I complained about snow on the sidewalk leading to the trail and the overpass on the north side of third. Today the section adjacent to Vectren was fairly clear, and I appreciate that, but not along the closed former motorcycle shop at the corner of 3rd and Madison. I know the city wants to be bicycle and pedestrian friendly, and built the trail to help achieve that goal. But if the trail and the access paths to the trail are not passable, you are falling far short of that goal. The snow stopped ten days ago. Every road has been clear for more than a week, as have parking lots. But the sidewalks still suck. It’s obvious by the city’s actions where its priorities are. Please consider raising the fines for snow removal violations, and sharing the fees with the people who report the violations. . Thank you.

There is an encampment that is not continuously used. It was occupied in the spring of 2024 before the removal of the encampments and the bush hogging of the vegetation to increase sight lines along the B line. Then it became active again during the winter, but now it looks unoccupied again. It seems to be active on and off because the debris and the structure that forms a shelter still remains. Can the encampment be removed to prevent future occupancy of this area?
