There has been a burnt plastic smell in 9th Street park for months during business hours. I finally caught Bloomington iron & metal in the act. They are using some sort of torch or arc cutter to cut painted metal and it is burning off the enamel as they go. It has pretty much ruined 9th st park. I'm sure this isnt you guys' responsibility, but its your problem (sorry). Thanks! The photo was taken from the b line, and in person the cloud of smoke is very visible.

While walking my dog in lower cascade park yesterday, I noticed parking lots were full and people were parking in grass area since most of the parking spaces are blocked off. It is unusually warm this year so it may be a good idea to open up the parking lots early this year.

The bathroom at the lower cascades park has been locked the past 5 Saturdays and or Sundays that my family has visited. There is no "out of order" sign. But it worries me because there are hundreds of people that visit that park, especially on the weekends. I actually wondered if maybe the park itself is closed on weekends during the day (around 1 o'clock in the afternoon). So my questions are: -is the bathroom supposed to be locked during the day on the weekends? If not, -when will someone reopen it? -what are the hours that the park is actually open with access to the bathroom? I don't know if your responses to u-reports are public or even available to me (without leaving an email address). But I hope they are, so that the other parents can also be informed.

The wood mulch surface of the playground structure at Park Ridge park needs replenished. As a regular park goer, it appears to me that the wood has degraded and other wise been slowly moved away from the play area over time. Currently, there is bare ground in spots of high foot traffic and increased potential of erosion from those spots, plant growth, etc. Also, I am not aware of the mulch having been replenished since the park was remade. Given that that renovation was completed 3 years ago, it seems like it is just time to add some more mulch. If it would be helpful to have pictures or additional information, please feel free to contact me and request that. Thank you for addressing this concern. Sincerely, John Metzcar

I'm worried about a mallard nest in the park - that the mom and eggs will survive with dogs etc. in the park. Just wanted to make you aware. It's located in the weedy area around the ditch that flows north to south, near a bird house.
