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.
The area by the shalom center (road/sidewalks) are covered in trash. Please discuss with the shalom center to help keep this area clean as the trash stems from their services. Also seminary park area is filled with trash and multiple stolen shopping carts from local businesses this morning (6/7/23)
We received notice that the tennis courts in park ridge east were getting repaved early summer. Is that happening soon? Thank you.
Hello- I would like to ask if there is any way more playgrounds around town could be fenced. Our 4 year old son is autistic, and likes to run. We seem to be limited to Bryan park tot lot and Broadview playground. There are lots of families of developmentally disabled and autistic children in this community, and these children- and their siblings- would benefit greatly from the opportunity to utilize more facilities. The big playground at Karst, the playground at Bryan park nearest the fenced toddler playground, and Olcott park would be wonderful additions to our family and others.
The water fountain on the west side of the park runs continuously and has for weeks since they turned it on. It needs to be fixed.
Trash and abandoned personal possessions all around seminary park including sculpture at 2nd and college.
Where did all the shade go? Happy Summer Solstice! We thought Townies needed more sun in their lives so we removed all the shade sails at all the parks and ball fields. Thanks for looking out for us parks!
