Follow on "resolved" Case #188265. I am glad there are no current plan to straighten or widen the central path in Bryan Park. If you think that the Bike Ped Commission has any interest in pedestrian safety except when in their mistaken opinion it coincides with cyclists, please think again.
When city opens restrooms at park when I go park I saw restroom still closed
The drinking fountain needs attention. Drain plugged on one side and water spraying out of fountain too hard to get a drink.
Case# 188472 Sorry, The problem is at the Park Ridge Park, Longview Avenue and North Glenwood Avenue West. Someone familiar with how the drinking fountain works could possibly fix it quickly. It appears the drain is clogged on the lower of the two fountains and the water pressure when you press the button to activate it, is too high! So, if you could have someone take a look at it and make the needed adjustments, that would be great! Thanks, Warren
People setting off fireworks in the tlsp parking lot. Call police they did run them off but I do not think they I’d them
I have lost my keys in Bryan Park. They have a yellow elastic hand bracelet. Can you contact me if found? I have also lost other keys there. Is there somewhere to go to check what you have?
The integrated playground at Winslow park is directly adjacent to a high voltage solar panel area. This evening, while using the walking path, my husband and I observed 2 VERY young little girls INSIDE the high voltage fence area. They had climbed over the low fence into the solar panel area. I'm sure this is a major liability to parks and rec. My husband and I warned them out of the area and they climbed the fence easily. They looked to be about 6 YO....and as we walked on and looked back they were coming back with a friend. I warned them of the danger and they turned back.
There have been a number of people sleeping in Bryan Park on the Woodlawn side by the shelter. It started with one hanging out in the shelter then has progressed to several in the field next to it. It is disturbing because of families using the shelter could be endangered by what we all know these people leave behind. A neighbor asked me to include his observation that unhoused frequent the shelter next to the baby playground, and the smell of pot is coming into the playground. I don’t know what is different, but the park is not as well mowed as in the past. It was always beautiful. I chalk it up to all of the rain. Just an observation. It is our favorite place in the world and we care about it. We go every day. Thank you for listening
Thanks for removing the pools contributing to the drainage issues. Now, can the standing mud pits along the fencelines be infilled? The fine gravel at the end of the parking lot could be a helpful infill to cover the slimy mud, couldn't it?
Once again, we were woken up in the middle of the night to screams of men yelling in Bryan Park overnight- this time at 3 am, from someone yelling “help” and then laughter and loud conversation. The same men have been sleeping in the Bryan Park shelters for the past several weeks and many neighbors I’ve spoken to are upset about this. These men are extremely disruptive overnight. Please police the rule that no one is allowed to sleep in the parks overnight. I know the bathrooms are locked too then, so where are they going to the bathroom?
