Parks & Playgrounds:

Other: Hello, I'm a frequent user of Bryan Park, and I'm concerned about the city truck that is being driven across the park from Henderson and Davis to the public restrooms every evening around 9 pm. so that the driver can lock the restrooms for the night. The truck travels diagonally across the playing fields, even if there are people playing or sitting on the fields, drives along the footpath and pulls right up to the restroom doors. I'm concerned because the truck is being driven fairly quickly in an area where there are children walking and playing (last night a mother was leaving the restroom with her toddler when the truck pulled up to the doors), and also because the grass appears to be showing wear and tear from all of the vehicular traffic. The driver does not appear to require any equipment heavier than a key to lock the restrooms, so I don't understand why he feels the need to drive right up to the doors. This truck traffic affects so many people's quiet enjoyment of the park. I wonder if the employee could be asked to park his truck in the lot at Henderson and Allen and walk the few feet to the restrooms, instead of driving through the park? Thank you!
