North of 4th on B-line, the east ballard is directly in the path of a typical northbound cyclist. It is about 3 feet too far west. Every other ballard on the B-line is to the side of the decorative arrow, but this one is directly in the path suggested by the arrow. It is hard to see at night and is surprising every time it is encountered at night. I have witnessed one cyclist collide with it and many close calls.
I did not know where else to put this but can we feminine hygiene products in the the restrooms at City Hall.
The Bloomington Firefighters stated that a membership has been bought for them at Planet Fitness, and that they use the firetruck for transport to this facility with permission. Is this the taxpayers money being used for personnel transport and membership fees?
The street light on S Walnut Street side is out again. The light is closest to the bus lane. The area is extremely dark and makes it unsafe when walking through this area. It was working for a few days and is out again.
Bloomington Shuttle service allows employees to smoke inside the building
Kirkwood/Washington landscaping completely blocks line of sight of pedestrians or vehicles. 3/4 planters at this intersection are this overgrown and block lines of sight creating a serious hazard.
Tree down covering half of the Bloomington Rails to Trails between Tapp Rd. and Country Club Dr.
About .5 mile into the rail trail is a large homeless camp (off Country Club) from the entrance. The sites continue to grow & pop up. There are multiple concerns with this. 1. Contamination with the water by litter, human waste, & drug paraphernalia. 2. Affects to wild life through trash & humans inhabiting their homes. 3. Land is affected by litter & drug paraphernalia such as glass pipes & needles. 4. There are safety concerns with children playing in the creek due to human waste & drug paraphernalia being in the water, they could get diseases from contaminated needles or step on glass pipes. 5. This is a dangerous location for the homeless as they are in a flash flood location. It has completely flooded out on 2020 & 2019. 6. Safety concerns with those using the trail or those who live in the neighborhood on the other side. One of our tenants contacted the police for fear of someone being outside of his home in the middle of the night. We have also noticed foot prints being outside the windows when there was snow on the ground. We can send additional photos it needed & have also reported to Rebecca Swift. I do believe others in the community are noticing & possibly reporting. Thanks Danny & Zella Taylor
There is a lot of trash, some of it potentially hazardous (motor oil, parts of appliances) between the Rail Trail and the fence, starting at the marker .5 miles South of Country Club Road. Some of it has clearly been there for years and is partially buried. We were removing garlic mustard and took some of the smaller trash but a truck and a crew of people will be needed to haul it away.
There are 2 trees that have been knocked down by the wind and are leaning over the rail trail. They are held up only by branches of other nearby trees and it doesn't look like they are very stable. Area is on the southern end of the Bloomington Rail Trail, in an area of limestone embankments, prior to where it intersects with the Clear Creek Trail. I'm worried about the safety hazards these trees present to people using the trail if they fall. Thank you, Tony Watkins
