The homeless camp along the Rail Trail north of Gordon Pike is burning trash on the evening of June 18, 2024, after 10pm. The smell is very strong in the surrounding area. The City needs to put a stop to this activity immediately as it is occurring illegally on City owned property. The city is allowing the homeless to openly burn on City property, which is ridiculous.

This was reported as a fire hazard, and also being reported as a trails issue to keep the parks dept updated on the activity along the Rail Trail. Large fire at 10:10pm on June 19, 2024, in the woods along the Rail Trail. The homeless camp on City-owned property (according to the GIS) is burning a large, open fire this evening. This is on the Rail Trail north of Gordon Pike maybe 0.3 to 0.4 miles, east and south of the Terrace Drive area. This is a significant hazard to the City property and neighboring private property. The fires need to stop and the camps need to be cleared out immediately before the homeless burn acres of woods, fences, sheds, houses, trailers -- anything in the vicinity could go up in flames soon.

The walking path/trail along Sare Road has been overgrown with weeds and growth all summer long. It's now narrowing the trail in certain areas so much that it's almost one way. This has caused issues with bicycle riders and walkers as well as trouble maintaining social distancing. It would be great if the sides of trail could be trimmed like the Creeks Edge Path. Thank you.

Would it be possible to turn this bench around so people can sit and watch the chickens, goats, and sheep that are part of the Boling Family Farm animals that are behind this bench on the Clear Creek Trail just past on the other side of Rockport Rd? Many people walk by here and enjoy watching the animals. It would be great for oldsters like me to be able to sit down on this bench and enjoy watching them. Thank you

On the south end of the Jackson Creek Trail off of the Sherwood Oaks Park. In the wooded part of the tail that connect to stairs and up into the neighborhood. There are very large trees that have fallen and are blocking the trail making it impassable. I came down to the trail by the stairs and was unable to pass. The stairs are in between 3831 & 3825 S. Linda’s Way. Also, the smell down there is horrible. Smells like sewage, this is new for that area. Thank you!!
