Maintenance work to temporarily close playground, parking lot, and one lane of the B-Line Trail

BLOOMINGTON – The City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation continues maintenance and improvement work in city parks and trails the week of September 18.

Beginning Sept. 18, urban forestry crews will prune more than 30 trees along the B-Line Trail between the Monroe Convention Center, 302 South College Avenue, and the Grimes Lane pedestrian bridge. Work will begin at the Grimes Lane bridge and proceed north to the convention center. Lanes on the B-Line Trail will be restricted during the project, but the trail will remain open to pedestrians and other non-motorized traffic.

The playground at Highland Village Park, at 950 South Harvey Drive, will be closed Sept. 18-20 for replacement of the Fibar safety surfacing. 

Paving contractors will return to RCA Community Park, at 1400 West RCA Park Drive on or around Sept. 20 to complete the resurfacing and restriping of the parking lot. The parking lot will be closed while these repairs are completed.
