Hello- I just wanted to report a parks and rec truck driving on the clear creek trail between that road and rockport road driving way too fast down the middle of the road and narrowly running me off the trail and into the grass. This could have been really bad if I was elderly or disabled and unable to move out of the way. The plate # was 45090.
Bus 2493 at approximately 19.20 cut me off and refused to yield right away. The driver was pulling away from the curb and I was on a fully illuminated bicycle. Please forward to BPD for warning and counseling.
Report from Mr. Dennis Mayfield that on Friday, June 13, he saw about an acre-and-a-half of what he thinks is hemlock at/near the intersection of N. State Rd. 37 Business and Old State Rd. 37. This seems to be just on the edge of city limits. Submitted a report to indot4u.com as well on behalf of Mr. Mayfield.

In 2020/2021 a multi-use path was installed directly behind the Woodlands condos, which included a raised cement median/crosswalk. This raised median has caused multiple problems since construction. Various vehicles frequently strike the raised median while attempting to navigate the area. In addition, the turns into and out of The Woodlands and The Stands are challenging due to the construction of the raised median. From my perception, this raised median has made the area more dangerous for pedestrians, vehicles, and cyclists. It was my understanding that the original intent by the city was to make the area safer, not more treacherous. Furthermore, the bus stop was relocated and is now closer to my home than it was before, which again causes more dust and noise pollution inside my home and the surrounding area. Clearly, an all-way stop is needed to provide predictable safety for all roadway users. Please note that neighbors have been in favor of traffic control at the intersection of Rogers Rd, Winding Brook and The Stands. In the last several years, neighbors have noticed the intersection has become less safe. I recently checked the Crash Data Dashboard and found the map to be very hard to read. I would appreciate a detailed and up to date report of the number and type of crashes reported at this intersection. Lastly, I am aware that currently, the construction that’s underway will be completed eventually, and the traffic pattern that I am referring to in this report will resume.
In 2019/2020, the Rogers Multiuse Path Project removed a large area of mature evergreen trees and shrubs. Before the project began, the city convened a public meeting at Sherwood Oaks church, where this project was presented. Neighborhood residents were under the impression (from what was stated at the meeting) that despite the construction and removal of mature trees and shrubs there was a plan to replace the mature trees and provide appropriate barriers to shield adjacent residences from Rogers Rd. Given that one of the adjacent neighborhoods is named “The Woodlands” it is ironic that the large swath of mature trees and shrubs was removed by the city. In 2020, the neighborhood inquired about the promised tree replacement plan and advocated in support of the tree replacement plan via email exchanges with a city employee. This link to Google Street view shows some of the mature trees, shrubs, and vegetation that existed before removal. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Rogers+Rd+%26+Winding+Brook+Circle/@39.1360284,-86.5043552,3a,75y,11.81h,104.02t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sM5SSfiHav1RemgRHxy-NNQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D-14.024763466822193%26panoid%3DM5SSfiHav1RemgRHxy-NNQ%26yaw%3D11.809023229470313!7i16384!8i8192!4m7!3m6!1s0x886c66797856700f:0x281f08677540884f!4b1!8m2!3d39.136063!4d-86.504227!16s%2Fg%2F1ymsmq0qb?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDQyMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D The neighbors request that you please consider restoration of trees, shrubs, and vegetation.
