My partner and I enjoy the trails at Winslow Park. However, we both are very tall (6 feet), and we always have to duck due to tree limbs. We also have noticed that the paths are not wide for people to pass, and the vegetation along the path closest to South Highland Avenue is severely overgrown and needs to be cut back. In addition, most of the paths are covered in small stones/pebbles, and are creating canyons in the trail when it rains. Is it possible to completely make the trails to asphalt or concrete? Thanks.

The timing of the traffic light at 3rd and Bryan/High Streets is way off. It has always been activated by sensors. The sensors on High and Bryan are now very delayed, sometimes waiting several minutes when no traffic has been passing on 3rd for that same time. Then the Bryan side will go green even though no car is present, The left turn arrow from 3rd to High will also not activate consistently. Please look at this situation, I have lived off of High and Hunter for 15 years and use this intersection this intersection several times per day. The settings are very off!

I am writing from Edventure Camp, the MCCSC summer camp for enrichment! We would like to say thank you to the County Government Department for hosting one of our classes. Beth Rosenbarger talked to us about what her department does! Our kids thought that it was a wonderful educational experience they will remember for a long time! Thank you.

Timing of intersection lights on 3rd and Clarizz Blvd: Crossing 3rd St is risky unless you begin walking across exactly when the light turns green for the pedestrian. The light changes too fast, not leaving the pedestrian enough time.

There is a wasps nest inside the signin box at the trailhead for the Griffy Lake trails (next to the trail map). They are very angry so be careful as you clear them away!

To whom it may concern: I was dismayed to read in this morning's hotline that roundup is used in our parks and around our trails. Yes, this is the roundup civilians can buy in stores; however, that does not mean it is safe. I thought Bloomington was a progressive place on the cutting edge of environmental concerns - apparently not. Any amount of poison applied to our earth is dangerous to people and animals, among others. And when we have rains, the roundup runs off into our water systems. Look at all of the drains on streets which sport little stickers saying don't put any hazardous materials down the drains. Well, you are. Let's think about the big picture. What is more important - having a safe environment in which we can be on the grass, drink safe water, etc. or getting rid of a few weeds, which, by the way, are also part of our creation. I know there are invasive weeds, but surely there are safer ways to eradicate them than by spraying them with poison that is hazardous to everything. You say you have professionals applying these poisons - I don't believe that makes the substance any safer. I hope you will consult various organic farmers and landscapers in the area for advice before applying any more roundup. Thank you. Anne Fraker
