This description of the Clear Creek trail has two errors: 20.8 acres stretching 2.4 miles from Country Club Drive past Tapp Road to Church Lane, and connecting to the existing Bloomington Rail Trail. The trail does not start from Country Club, it starts from Tapp Road. It crosses both Rockport Road and That Road before getting to Church Lane.

I've recently noticed the Rail Trail between Country Club Drive and Gordon Pike has sections of large gravel (see attached photo). I appreciate that maintenance is being done, assuming the City is responsible for this work. But, I am concerned because this large gravel is inconsistent with the existing surface for the trail. As a bike commuter and runner on this section of the trail, I was disappointed to see large gravel appear on the surface. The Rail Trail is a great surface to run and walk on and commute on. These patches of large gravel pieces diminish it's utility and enjoyment. Are there plans to use large gravel more often on the trail? I request that the smaller, packed surface be maintained. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you about the maintenance of the trail. Have a great day.

I’ve been using the trails mainly Clear Creek for several years. I’m a bike rider plus walking. The Clear Creek trail seems to be ignored a lot in the last year or so. In the past couple of weeks we have had strong winds, some trees have blown down. The trees were removed in a timely fashion but the small limbs and debris from t/he clean up was left untouched. One area north of That Road and just north of the water fountain gravel and dirt continues to wash out onto the trail but nothing is ever done to resolve the problem. Walking is not as bad as biking but biking can be a real hassle. The trail gets so bad sometimes that I go to Karst Farm even though it’s not as convenient. It seems a lot is being spent to develop the area south of Grimes and Clear Creek gets ignored. I see maintenance workers driving up and down the trail and they even sit and talk a lot but no one ever gets out of the vehicle to improve the trail when only a few minutes could make a big difference. Thanks for your time.

Hello, I live near the Jackson creek trail and find the new lights to be a complete disappointment. They are extremely bright and it no longer feels as though you are walking through nature, but rather a parking lot. Not only is it aesthetically unappealing but I am also concerned for the local wildlife. Light pollution can have a tremendous impact on the lives of nocturnal animals. I have been hearing spring peepers and owls this year but I’m concerned that these lights will affect these animals negatively. For one, artificial night light hinders an owls ability to hunt. For a city supposedly concerned about the environment, I find this change to be extremely disheartening. While I advocate for getting rid of them all together, the lights should at least be put on a timer so that they go off when the park is closed— around ten or 11. Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

1. That Rd. parking lot. There is a Sycamore tree at the far end, near the handicap parking space and the bicycle rack, that is really starting to lean to the northwest. The trunk is rotting/decaying and looks to be about a 1/3 gone. You may want to consider taking this tree down. 2.The 2 security lights at the Church Lane parking lot are not working. Would it be possible to have at least one of them turned on? This would be beneficial, especially now that the trail is being extended south of Church Lane. I'm assuming that there will be more foot/vehicle traffic in the near future. Thank you for your considerations. Bob Rosenberger 812-824-2169
