I've already uReported my concern about deteriorating memorial tree markers in Bryan Park. This report is a bit different. There are several dogwoods on the south side of the Park along the perimeter path. One of them honored Mildred Diane Singleton. I noticed it because I had known her. The marker seems to be missing, perhaps from this tree. I'd like to know whether it has been temporarily removed for some reason. Thanks.
Water fountain at seminary park is not yet turned on. Will it be soon? 90 degree temps make for thirsty people. Thanks!
Not a complaint necessarily but a request. Water fountain in Park Ridge East only has the top part work. The lower part on the base has no handle (looks removed). Is used for pets, etc. It would be very appreciated if water could also be accessed that way. Thank you!
Small Tree of Heaven patch located on east border of the Winslow Woods forest. Located between the toilet-and-nearly fenced electric panel and the main entrance to the forest. Patch includes one tree of a few to several dbh and a few recently emergent suckers (seedlings) a few feet away
Small (ca. 1 foot square) of putative Japanese stiltgrass seedings found in Winslow Woods. There may have been other patches nearly but I didn’t look for them. Located about 30 feet due N of v. large beech tree that currently has two large trunks, with the third having fallen off a few years and now covered with fungi. The tree is roughly 60 north of the creek bed, with fallen trunk extending to creek bed. To help locate the patch I stuck a 4 foot long stick into the ground by it; stick is not firmly into ground, hopefully it won’t fall over.
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)
