The Polly Grimshaw Trail is in dire need of bush and tree trimming. The east bound "lane" is overgrown and in many places only two or three feet of the west bound "lane" is usable so that two bicycles would not be able to pass at the same time without one of them leaving the trail. A particular hazard is just east of the Pete Ellis crossing where a recently broken branch of a locust tree (the kind with thorns) is covering most of the trail. A thorn could easily puncture a bicycle tire. I realize that Parks and Recreation has always denied having jurisdiction over this trail. But this was the only link I found to report this. Please pass this request on to which ever department would be able to handle it. Thanks so much!

A group of people have set up camp within the park. They have tents, sheets hung blocking the view, etc. They have beaten a trail to where they are camping and have removed vegetation to clear the site. I haven't seen it, but my adult son was out there looking for our dog and stumbled onto the campsite. He said if you park in the lot and go southeast, you'll find the camp. They are staying away from the old pond area and where there are workers. We just hate to see destruction in the park! Thanks, Martha

There has been some construction on the trails near the Wesley Sports complex. I use the trail to commute to work by bike every day and noted its bad constitution - especially after heavy rain. I had hope for some improvements but the 'closed for construction' signs have been removed and while the trail is now wider it seems like the construction has been stopped half way. The trail is still very sandy / muddy and parts are very soft so that my bike sinks into the sandy surface which makes it very uncomfortable to rise and also somewhat unsafe. Is the construction already done or just paused?

There was bad storm that started about 11:30pm May 10th. The storm knocked down a huge tree in the wooded area next to my apartment. The tree was knocked down into the trail that runs around Twin Lakes so there is no access through anymore.

I am a frequent user of the Jackson Creek trail and connector up to Olcott Park. The trail just east of the bridge between Sherwood Oaks and Olcott has had drainage problems from the start, but they have steadily become worse, and now this section of the trail is not only messy, flooded and muddy, but to the point of being dangerous. I attach a picture of the mud accumulation on the trail at the bottom of the hill that students returning home from JCMS often ride with their bicycles. This mud is very slick, and it surely just a matter of time before a serious accident happens. I have another picture showing the mud accumulation right by the bridge, which is also an issue. Some effort to control the drainage form the east would solve this problem. Thanks. Arthur
