This is a second report about a possibly dangerous tree in Bryan Park. I reported it first after getting reactions from some usually knowledgeable people. Here is a sample. "Textbook example of root rot in an infected ash tree. That tree will fall soon. I've seen many on my property fall when they get to that stage." "VERY precarious, I have had trees fall over that were not that bad." "We just lost a 6yr from Boonville yesterday dead tree uprooted and fell on her. what are the odds of that... she was walking with her Grandma." So it sounds URGENT. Please put some CAUTION tape around it and maybe a sign if an arborist can't assess it immediately.

Large tree in Bryan Park north of Sheridan Creek, undermined at the base and looking unstable. Perhaps a tree expert should take a look and assess it.

Followup on 171036 and 171458: that work on cleaning up weeds and saplings under the spruce is not entirely complete. This one, near Henderson, south side of the path, has two saplings.

#171036 followup. Thanks! In fact, I didn't realize that most of the work had already been done when I filed that uReport. Not so the saplings under the spruce closest to Henderson on the south side of the asphalt path. I'll check this morning, but until a few days ago there were 2 or 3 bigger than I could get thumb and first finger around.

Splash pads - I think splash pads are a wonderful summer fun activity. I look forward to taking my grandkids to the new switchyard park this summer. However I would love to see more of these around town especially in parks in the poorer parts of town. Like the Reverend Butler Park, Highland village Park, Crestmont Park, Third Street Park. Are there plans to add more splash pads in our parks?

Oclott Park walk path, where it offshoots to Jackson Creek Middle School. There is a constant trickle of water that streams across the path and down the offshoot. On cold days it forms a treacherous layer of ice. Very difficult to cross that area when walking around the park and extremely dangerous for students walking to JCMS. Not sure if it's a natural spring or if the Olcott Building is leaking, but water needs to be diverted from running across the walking path. Someone is going to get hurt.

There are leaves in Park Ridge Park again. It is a lot less than last time, but still significant. Sanitation still hasn't done the second round of leaf pick up in the area so there is still a chance to easily remove the leaves (and thus help the park in terms of less erosion and mud production). My leaf blower is broken so I do not anticipate being able to take care of it. If possible, it would be great to have one more round of removal now that all of the leaves are finally down. Thanks!
