reported homeless encampments on the Rail Trail from Gordon Pike to Country Club Drive. Are causing disturbances to surrounding property owners and trail users due to their verbal and physical fighting.
Quite a few trees down after the recent storms on the trails. Most you can ride around but some are blocking trails. Large tree blocking the trail on the far side of where the lake used to be.
Trail around winslow park needs dog bins or people wont pick up dog crap. there's only one by the parking lot, needs to be 3-4 around the park perimeter trail
#92 light is out. I used to simply contact the Pks person in charge of replacing the light bulbs, but I don't know if he is still with Pks!
On the Clear Creek Trail just north of the That Road Trailhead, Nestbox 24 is down. This box been used many years in a row for tree swallows who will be returning to the area soon. I would be happy to repair it myself if you would like me to, but I’m hoping it can be up again by the time the birds are looking for their nest spots.
There is a tent in woods by light pole 125. I don’t know if anyone is staying in there or not.
Overhanging bushes make travel difficult, and even dangerous at night for bikers and runners. Beware the poison hemlock on the west end of the eastern part of the trail, just near the swimming pool. Sap can cause skin irriation.
Many of the newly planted oak trees are showing signs of stress as the leaves are yellowing and browning. Will the City water these trees during this dry time? Several people are trying to water them with buckets, but it seems that there would be a better way to keep these trees healthy after investing so much in planting them.
The tree branches on the trail between Olcott Park and the Goat Farm need to be cut back. This is mostly needed at the beginning of the trail on the trailhead on the Olcott Park side. Thank You for your consideration!
The trail surface on the old railroad bridge over 3rd St got tagged with orange spray paint last night. Most of the tagging is words but on the south end of the bridge we now a community art work that is 4-5 foot long male phallic image. Seriously as I biked by there this morning a mother and daughter were walking their dog north on the trail and were just about to encounter the "artwork".
