The web page for Frank Southern Ice Arena (link below) has an outdated link in the green button labeled "Visit Calendar." The link opens last year's calendar; it should open the calendar for the current year. https://bloomington.in.gov/parks/facilities/frank-southern
Wanted to see if the parks and rec department could come take a look at the Beech tree on the north side of Maxwell (marker used above). Several really large dead branches that are dangerously falling in a piecemeal way. The overall health of the tree is in steady decline, and it may be easier for the city to remove it now before it is completely rotten. Thanks!
A water fountain in Bryan Park next to the tennis courts is malfunctioning; it has been running continuously for the past few days.
Excessive growth reported on bike path along South Smith road. Appears to be on City property as opposed to private.
Many of humans at the Ferguson Dog Park do not know how to use the T-valve to turn on the water, or that spray will cool and clean their dog. Please post instructions, or use a magic marker to point the way.
The path surrounding the parking lot of the Winslow Sports Complex needs to be repaved. It is worn to the nub, cracked and uneven. It is a hazard to elderly and infirm people (of whom I am one). I walk there every day, several times a day. There are many of us who do this. During baseball games, there are also many parents and grandparents who have to walk this path. You are just waiting for a lawsuit if this goes unrepaired. Thank you. Janet Greenblatt
Park ridge East Street trees removed. Not sure why. Please plant new ones!
Are there any basketball leagues for the 14-17 yr old boys?? Kathi
I have observed that a couple of the interpretative signs around City Hall are too high. Most of the signs along the B-Line are about 34" high. But two of them, one next to the Hopewell jar fountain and the other on the B-Line across from the Bloomington Banquet sculpture, are 45" and 43" high respectively. Small children and people in wheelchairs would not be able to read these signs. Those two signs, unlike many of the others, are not mounted in a footer. So it would probably be easy to cut a portion of the pole off and lower them so they are more accessible. I am sure both of these signs are out of compliance with the ADA. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I wanted to ask the city to consider re-repairing the section of the Rails to Trails trail between the roundabout near Church Lane and Country Club road. Whoever attempted to "repair" that section several weeks ago either did not know what they were doing or did not care. I actually watched them put the initial layer of loose gravel down and it was obvious that the workers had never done that kind of thing before on a trail. The loose gravel used to "repair" some low spots has become a "death trap" for unsuspecting bikers. I am an experienced biker and almost went down on my mountain bike. An attempt was made to cover this loose gravel with a mixture of crushed and packed limestone, but that has become a bumpy mess. PLEASE get someone to properly repair this section before someone is seriously injured.
