Hi there. The bike trail that goes from Park Ridge to the by-pass along the railroad tracks is in serious need of trimming back the vegetation. It is getting difficult to ride with all the obstacles growing into the trail. Thank you.

On Saturday evening, I was running on the Renwick Trail that connects Moores Pike to Sare Road. On the trail, a man was repeatedly driving a moped with children on the back of the moped. The trail, I believe, is intended only for cyclists, runners, and walkers, not for motorized vehicles, though there is no sign overtly prohibiting such use. The trail is winding and narrow and it was getting dark, making it very dangerous for this moped to drive through the trail. Several runners had to step off the trail to avoid the vehicle. I confronted the man about the issue, telling him it was not safe, but he was resistant, saying if I showed him a sign he would stop. I suspect he intends to ride the trail again. I request that, assuming such use of the trail is prohibited, a sign for the trail and for the police to keep an eye out for this man on his moped to keep the trail safe. Thank you.

We really need a restroom or at least a port-o-potty in this park

Visiting from erie,pa. Parents live here & I will relocate here after retirement. Enjoy walking trails. So much. Have encountered horses x2 on clear creek trail between that rd. Not hard 2 ascertain from where the horses come from. Who is liable if accident/incident occurs? Rules of trails clearly posted. My 10lb lhasa apso is harnessed securley on lead but was very spooked by horses & horses were not happy either by their obvious reactions. My little dog & I had no where 2 go but off in brush @ side of trail. Again, who is liable if someone gets hurts????It will happen. Horses & wrong dog,place & time someone is gonna b hurt.

It would be great if you would add an additional garbage can towards the south end of the B-Line trail (near Country Club Rd), you have to walk/bike/run nearly a mile before coming to a garbage can.

Dear Friends,
I am writing to report a dog attach incident this morning about 9:05 Am on the North Shore Trail in the Griffey Lake Nature Preserve. I was walking on the trail and was approached by two unleashed dogs. The owner arrived and said the dogs were unleashed because he didn't think there were other people on the trail. One of the dogs, which looked German Shepherd like, approached me from the side and bit my right calf. The bite broke the skin. He said he was sorry and walked on. I didn't get his name, because I wanted to leave the scene because I was concerned about being bitten again.
There was a single car parked on the trail head, a Pontiac Grand Am GT with an Indiana License plate 719CA2. I believe, but am not certain, that this was the dog owner's vehicle.
I looked but didn't find any park personnel after the incident.
My phone number is 812 345 7429 if I can provide any additional information.
Sincerely,
Brian O'Donnell

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!
