We love the meandering walking path!

We moved to Bloomington in 2019, and have loved exploring our new city! One of our favorite finds has been walking many of the Nine-Mile Creek trails, finding the various entrances onto the trail, and enjoying the natural beauty with friends and family. Our most commonly-used parking area is the Harrison Picnic Grounds, from which we walk down the trail and sometimes turn around and walk back, sometimes come up onto street level at the 106th Street bridge entrance, cross over to Moir Park, and then back onto the trail to return to Harrison. I also have loved being able to get down to the river and walk alongside it, all the way to the 35W bridge and back. Seeing much wildlife and exploring the area has been one of our delights!

Needless to say, the potential of changing the lovely path to a straight bike path holds no appeal to us, and we would like to voice our opinion that this change should not be made!
