There is a black cat that hangs out near the Rail Trail that needs to be removed. I was walking a dog on the trail yesterday (6/14/2016) and we had a run in with the cat. This cat jumped out of the brush into the middle of the trail and started hissing at us as we approached. The cat would not move out of the way, arched its back, and walked towards us on the trail, hissing at times. We retreated and a bicyclist came by and the cat lunged at the bike. About a month ago I was biking on the trail when this same cat lunged at my bike then ran off the trail and began clawing at and climbing a tree trunk while hissing and making noises. This cat is dangerous as it does not seem afraid of people on the trail - and not in a friendly manner. Can someone from animal care & control go back there to trap and remove this cat? I don't know the exact location - I enter the trail at the Somersbe neighborhood and the cat incidents have both occurred a few minutes north of Somersbe.

Clear creek trail from church lane to tap road needs over hanging limbs and side growth trimmed back. Also the trail itself needs attention as several places have debrie from storms. I reported this about a week ago but nothing happen. A gentleman riding his bicycle was dodging an overhead branch just north of the water fountain and hit a small branch lying on the trail which caused him to wreck. He was not injured.
Thank you

The trail behind city flats at Fenwick is really overgrown. Is this city or private property?

There was evidence that someone is trying to live in the woods on the northern section of the NL trail at Griffy Lake. I hiked parked of this trail 8/26/16 and saw what seemed to be the beginnings of a make shift shelter as well as various Styrofoam to go containers scattered throughout this part of the trail.
There was a man who was clearly not on a recreational hike on the NL trail who we saw multiple times before we decided to turn back and head towards the NS trail. The man had long brown hair, was clearly dirty and smelled strongly. He was young (less than 40 years old). We saw him several times on different parts of the NL trail and it was clear he was not hiking the trail in a linear fashion (possibly going of trail to cut to a different part?).
The presence of this man plus the food containers/shelter seemed very suspicious and VERY unsafe for recreational hikers. Please have someone take a look out there to clean up the trash/take down the shelter.
I have a attached an image marking the location of the food/shelter. Feel free to contact me with additional questions/concerns.

Parks and recreation, I wanted to know if there is legal right-of-way for pedestrians at the south end or the rail trail where it stops at west dillman rd. The property owners have placed fencing and no trespassing signs. I simply would like clarification if easement rights apply so that I may continue to access the rail trail beyond Dillman rd.
Have the property owners gained true rights by forfeit of the rail line due to disuse?

What do we do if there are unneutered male dogs in the park? There have beens several instances recently at the park and an unneutered male pit bull mix was constantly trying to hump my male dog. I'm afraid of a fight breaking out. The web page says dogs must be spayed/neutered, but the rules sign posted (I'm pretty sure) does not say it's necessary. We've just had to leave every time this has happened.

Hi. I'm writing as the vice-president of the Near Westside Neighborhood Association. At our meeting last night, we discussed the assault that took place on the B-Line April 7th. A question came up as to how often the section between Fairview and North Adams is patrolled. Most of us felt that we see officers more often in the sections to the east of Fairview. And now that there is no summer shelter, we're wondering how to ensure our safety when walking that part of the trail. Thaks for your help!
