Just want to suggest that when the crews are cleaning up the landscaping on Sayre RD in the median, they close the left lanes. They are too close to the road working on the median. Someone is going to get hurt.
2nd street parking lot: tree down and unable to use the ramp: tree down blocking ramp.
There are leaves in Park Ridge Park again. It is a lot less than last time, but still significant. Sanitation still hasn't done the second round of leaf pick up in the area so there is still a chance to easily remove the leaves (and thus help the park in terms of less erosion and mud production). My leaf blower is broken so I do not anticipate being able to take care of it. If possible, it would be great to have one more round of removal now that all of the leaves are finally down. Thanks!
Oclott Park walk path, where it offshoots to Jackson Creek Middle School. There is a constant trickle of water that streams across the path and down the offshoot. On cold days it forms a treacherous layer of ice. Very difficult to cross that area when walking around the park and extremely dangerous for students walking to JCMS. Not sure if it's a natural spring or if the Olcott Building is leaking, but water needs to be diverted from running across the walking path. Someone is going to get hurt.
On the east side of Rev. Butler park, a boardwalk-like section of the path has broken through or collapsed, leaving jagged edges.
Curious: why was this Bryan Park bluebird box moved from the east side to the west side of the big Norway spruce between the tennis courts and the Woodlawn picnic shelter? Thanks!
There is a parasite going around at the Ferguson Dog park. I know of a dog that has contracted Giardia over 6 times. Someone needs to post signage around the park to let people know the dangers of not picking up after their dogs and more poop stations with more bags so we can make it easier to hold the pet parents accountable. I have tried to tell other dog owners to pick up after their pets but it has not succeeded. Please do something because pet parents like me can't take out dogs while there is an issue like this. A friend and I have even gone to the length of going throughout the park and cleaning up the entire thing. However it has not stayed that way. Please do something so not other dogs have to get sick and potentially die.
These the leaf-filled holes in Bryan Park. In the area where, I was told, and underground stream flows and then feeds into Sheridan Creek. I thought they might be burrowing crawdads holes. Someone else (see photo comment) suggests broken drainage tile. Was that area ever drained and tiled? In either case, can anything be done?
In Bryan Park: Large amount of broken glass at the northwest end of the stream that feeds Sheridan Creek. Sunday afternoon March 1.
There is a hole forming on the higher platform of the play structure at Schmalz farm park and several kids of fallen because of it.
