On the northside light pole, two of the five lights are out.
On the northside light pole, two of the five lights are out.
On the basketball courts, one of the hoops is missing the crank to raise/lower the basket. I've seen individuals manually raise and lower it by using a similar piece to the cranks, but having the crank replaced greatly enhances the usability of the courts.
Around 8:45 this morning, I encountered a strong stench coming from the woods to the west of the B-Line Trail in Switchyard park between lampposts 20 and 21. It smelled like rotting flesh. Could someone please investigate to make sure it isn't a hazard or concern?
Half of the 8 light fixtures across the two light poles at Switchyard Skatepark are out and have been for quite some time.
I'm going to start a weekly inquiry for when the Switchyard Skatepark lights are going to be fixed. There are still many bulbs out and there are plenty of dark spots so skating past sundown becomes dangerous, despite lots of people still skating around that time.
The merry go round isn't going around.
Loose bolt on basketball hoop at Switchyard: The south basket at the Switchyard basketball court has a loose screw that keeps needing replaced/tightened. As you face the basket, it's the upper-left bolt. A constituent has been voluntarily tightening it when it gets loose, but he wants it fixed. He said last time the bolt fell out and the washer was lost and had to be backordered/the basket was out of commission for a while. He said he's submitted some complaints before and it is still a problem.
Switchyard basketball court lighting: Most of the park is well lit at night (pickleball court, skate park, etc.) but the basketball court isn't. Constituent would like to request lighting there so it's safer/easier to see.
Old tire in the creek area of switcyard park. Possibly washed down from elsewhere with all the rain we've been having this week. See marked area on picture of map attached for area. It's north of the splashpad, south of the skate park, in the stream bed between he east & west bridges on the B-Line
I know I've asked before, but any update on getting the lights back on at Switchyard Skatepark? Days are rapidly getting shorter!
