Broken glass on new path At building trade park
Broken glass on new path At building trade park
With the construction going on in the Building Trades Park homeless people are starting to hang out in the church parking lot across the street. The security patrols for the park used to check out that parking lot but have stopped since the construction has started. It would be nice if they swung through occasionally while the construction is going on.
On the B Line trail, the shelter that is between WonderLab and the Hyatt: this is turning into an encampment. I see open drug use while passing by each day. There is increasing trash on the ground, bikes chained to light poles, people arguing, etc. And this is mere feet from a children's museum, not to mention in the middle of downtown. I know it's a public space but these people are claiming it for their own and creating an unsafe situation. Thank you.
People are living in the park again. There is a tent like structure blocking the stairs.
Sidewalks are unwalkable due to snow from 2 weeks ago.
Hello, there has been multiple homelessness sleeping and dropping trash at the playground at Howe street. It’s an issue that we have to solve. My kid can’t go under those circumstances. I appreciate your time. Thank you so much.
Light on the basketball courts is broken. Would be awesome if there were more lights too. My friends and I play here and with the days getting shorter it would be great to be able to play in the evenings.
There’s a street light on a utility pole that is above the north east corner of the basketball courts of the building and trades park that has had a pine tree grow up around it. The light appears to be broken/nonfunctioning. It would be nice to have a functioning light(s) on the court.
I wanted to have a meet up with some parents and their children at the park so went to scope it out around 5pm on a Friday afternoon and there were at least eight adults with lots of stuff hanging out and 2 out of 3 restrooms were locked. I know that a public park is for everyone, so I'm talking about of both sides of my mouth, but I didn't feel comfortable and didn't want to have my kids two year old birthday party at the trades park. Seems like a good place to put some more houses, since the park can't be used by everyone. In theory I like the picnic shelters being by the playground so I can sit and eat and watch my kids, but I think I prefer Butler Park while if there are transients who come off the railroad track they aren't at the playground.
Transient overnight sleeping in hammock on east side of B-Line, across from intersection of Smith & Morton, next to parking lot of Monroe Convention Center.
