My son was arrested and his vehicle was left over there. It is in my name and I am in the process of trying to get him to release the key to someone so we can get it moved so I am asking if you could please not tow it without contacting me first at shannadhall1969@gmail.com or 8123607958. My goal is to have it out of there by Wednesday if you will allow me to work on it. I have been trying since he was put in jail.
Not enough pickle ball courts. I went on Sunday and 15 people were waiting continually for two hours. It causes an issue because people are sitting on the courts. Also, it can be frustrating for them to have to wait so long to play it would be nice if the city would create more Pickleball courts. This is a very popular sport and has been for many years. I’ve tried to play a Park Ridge in East. This is not a solution. It took 20 minutes to put up the net. I had to find a way to get the combination to the lock. It took another 15 minutes to take it down and put it all away. The lines are confusing, so my group has decided not to play there.

One toilet (the non-handicap stall) in the women’s bathroom at Bryan Park is continuously flushing. Bumping the handle was not enough to un jam it.
I am retired and live across Woodlawn Avenue from the Bryan Park Pool. In the morning I usually sit on my deck to drink coffee and read the paper. The person who mows and string trims in the park often (five days/week?) starts mowing shortly after 8 am. It's loud and annoying, and the last straw was when it happened this morning - SATURDAY! He mowed the grass strip between Woodlawn and the parking lot, then the strip across Woodlawn along that parking lot, then the grass strip directly outside my yard! My cat jumped up and ran inside, and this was at 8:30. I'm sure many of my neighbors would agree that this is unnecessary; how can mowing be so urgent that it has to be done at 8:00 on Saturday morning? I will add that the gentleman does a great job; the park is mowed and trimmed and free of trash. But please make a change so that the loud machinery is operated later in the day. Thank you.
There is a strip of grass outside our back yard fence along the parking lot across from the Bryan Park poo. For the last three years + the city has mowed it. This year so far they have mowed a strip along the parking lot but have left a strip along our fence (see photo). The gentleman who mows rides his mower through the parking lot several times a week, could he please mow that strip or would you please tell me why not? He does a great job keeping the area mowed and trimmed. Thanks, Rich Pierce
The second light pole south of the far north east corner of the Bryan Park tennis courts has a metal piece that is off and the wires inside are now exposed. This could be dangerous having live electrical wires exposed in a park.
On the north easy side of the Bryan Park tennis courts, along the north fence perimeter, there is a big hole in the fencing. The tennis balls can go out of the fence and into traffic. The fencing is also sticking out where people can get caught up or tripped or possibly cut by it. It is a dangerous situation.
