See the picture. Trail connecting the Grimshaw Trail to the 7th St Greenway is partially obstructed by invasive overgrowth in a curve near the Greenway, east of the tunnel. Also, around the corner to the north about 10 yds. it needs a trim back as well. Thanks.
Erosion noted between 7th street and the bike path as it curves under IN 46. Not bad now, but going to cause a hazard as it gets worse.
Many street lights along the Polly Grimshaw trail are no working. The westernmost 2, the one west of the intersection with PEte Ellis, and all of them east of Pete Ellis. Some have dark lenses, and some are broken. Thank you for keeping our trail nice.
The east end of the trail tunnel under 46 has broken glass that is also on the path leading to that entrance.
Someone has cut a hole in the railroad fence in this approximate location on the Grimshaw Trail. The picture shows the hole and the insert is the nearest utility pole to the east of the damage.
Similar to the previous case #193719, the new fiber optic cables that were installed have created speed humps along the Bline trail between Dodds and 1st. I've seen that this is to be repaired already, but I want to add another complaint point to ensure visibility. Additionally, south of the trail tree roots have begun to surface creating large bumps/uneven terrain closer to Dodds St. The roots were attempted to be repaired with crack sealer, but the bumps still exist.
Broken glass still there! Not resolved.
There is a rotting deer carcass in the lake, right on the shore near the west north shore trail. I believe it was shot during the annual hunt but it was never collected. My sister is an ecologist and says that it should be removed from the lake to prevent e coli contamination. It is extremely pungent and can be located just by the smell. I have also tied a small green trash bag on a small tree along the trail, just uphill from the carcass.
A large tree fell and completely blocked the B-Line trail today at lamppost 156 (next to the railroad overpass). I was able to carve out a path for pedestrians and cyclists but the remainder of the tree still needs to be removed. I'd also appreciate if crews could remove the nearby brush pile since it creates cover for rats and mice. Thanks!
