Can Bloomington Police check in at Food Truck Fridays to put a stop to kids on electric motorcycles? On Friday, May 15, a kid was racing around on a electric motorcycle. He was going perpendicular to the B-Line zipping back and forth across it, going behind the pavilion and then across along the playground between it and the green tables. He was traveling on the electric motorcycle doing wheelies and traveling at a high rate of speed with total disregard to traffic on the B-Line and children at the playground. This motorcycle should be ticketed and removed from the park. It's not allowed on the trails and is being operated recklessly.

The lights at Switchyard do not come on when they are supposed to. Specifically at the skatepark and path around it. They seemed to fix it when an event took place Nov 8, then just turned them off since. People not only at the skatepark but also people who walk the path, can’t see where they are going at night. It can be very dangerous especially considering that the homeless sit around all day and night over there. If someone could please fix this issue, then everyone who often goes to the park would appreciate it very much. Thanks

At least 2 of the garage doors at Switchyard Pavilion are not opening. This makes vendor unload/pack up before and after farmers’ market more challenging and complicated— for an already logistically difficult situation. Also, numerous customers report that there is not any parking available during market hours. Is anyone at COB considering parking issues when scheduling multiple events at Switchyard Park?? Is it possible that the Warehouse is using the Switchyard parking lot during market hours as well?? Thanks for reviewing these concerns.

This is the third time now that I have walked the B-line over the Patterson foot bridge to switch yard and all of the lights along the b-line between the two are out. This has always between the hours of sunset and 10 PM. I just worry it is hazardous because if someone was riding a bike, they could easily come up on someone they don’t see and hit them if either party doesn’t have a light. Of course, ideally people would have lights, but I’ve found they rarely do when walking the B-line especially in the early evening hours. I’m sorry I didn’t get numbers for the lights because there was about 30 in total. I was counting them but forgot about the numbers- the last one I saw that was out was BL 38 in switchyard, but literally every light from that to Patterson was out on both the north and south paths of the b-line. I hope it doesn’t seem like I am being a stickler reporting this multiple times. It’s just so dark in that stretch with no lights and the tree coverage, it feels rather dangerous in terms of potential accidental collisions. Thank you for looking into this matter! I have more pictures and a video too I could email you if that helps any?

This is the second time in the past few weeks that I have walked the b-line over to switchyard and all of the lights are off when it’s after dark. Surely you are aware of this issue, but thought I would report it just in case… It’s a little bit dangerous in the section between Patterson and switchyard Because it’s so dark with all the trees. It would be easy to run into someone on the B-line.

All of the street lights at Switchyard Skatepark are nonfunctioning. This poses a public safety issue for both user's of the park and pedestrians passing near the park. Not having lighting in this area could also lead to an increase in criminal activity and the potential for pedestrians of the B-Line trail to be harassed or assaulted by someone using the lack of lighting as cover.
