Not a complaint necessarily but a request. Water fountain in Park Ridge East only has the top part work. The lower part on the base has no handle (looks removed). Is used for pets, etc. It would be very appreciated if water could also be accessed that way. Thank you!
Small Tree of Heaven patch located on east border of the Winslow Woods forest. Located between the toilet-and-nearly fenced electric panel and the main entrance to the forest. Patch includes one tree of a few to several dbh and a few recently emergent suckers (seedlings) a few feet away
Small (ca. 1 foot square) of putative Japanese stiltgrass seedings found in Winslow Woods. There may have been other patches nearly but I didn’t look for them. Located about 30 feet due N of v. large beech tree that currently has two large trunks, with the third having fallen off a few years and now covered with fungi. The tree is roughly 60 north of the creek bed, with fallen trunk extending to creek bed. To help locate the patch I stuck a 4 foot long stick into the ground by it; stick is not firmly into ground, hopefully it won’t fall over.
Largish (at least 10 by 20 sq ft) patch of putative Japanese stiltgrass seedings found in Winslow Woods. . Centered on creek bed (located on both sides of bed), and located about 60-90 south of storm drains located in backyard of house that borders the northern boundary of Winslow woods. There may be other patches nearby but I didn’t look for them.
Constituents have reported to Council members that the basketball rims at Switchyard are damaged. I have not seen, simply relaying the concern. Thanks!
Another dog owner showed me where there are some small gaps in the fencing that could use some repair or extra reinforcing where a smaller dog or animal could get in or out. These gaps are straight back from the red fire hydrant.
Water fountain needs service, we get a lot of kids, runners and bikers stopping by.
Water fountain is not turned on, it had some teenager damage from last year, perhaps there is a work order in on it? I tried replying to your email last time, no go, and for some reason, I could not find a staff directory on the city's website.
No issue but am wondering if there is a picnic area at Leonard Springs Park, we will be passing through and thought it would be a nice place for a picnic.
We received notice that the tennis courts in park ridge east were getting repaved early summer. Is that happening soon? Thank you.
