A large tree fell covering the path going up the hill just south of the newly constucted waterfall wooden path. It needs chainsawed to clear path.
Large bump in the concrete caused by a tree root on walking/bike path across from La Charreada Mexican Restaurant. Creates significant trip spill or fall hazard for runner or cyclist. I separated my shoulder last week after hitting it and falling off my bike. Needs to be fixed immediately to prevent future incidents for others trying to enjoy the park.
big trees fell and now block trail and must walk in woods
There used to be No Tresspassing signs here after more people started going out on trails during the lockdown. Many people still think it’s part of the park. Few city people know the purple paint means the same thing. Owners of both sides of the property line must agree to use paint instead of signs. Did the city really agree to this? One guy on the path down from Olcott thought the paint marked the BHSS cross country course. If he really wants to keep people out he needs to invest in maintaining real signage or fencing.
Hello! First, thank you for being one an absolutely cherished and wonderful part of our city. Parks and Rec does such great work! On the Jackson Creek Trail between Sherwood Oaks Park and Olcott Park, just past the bridge as you head up the hill on the way to Olcott Park, there is a Sycamore Tree leaning over the path, and a smaller tree has fallen and is leaning on the Sycamore. Would you mind having Urban Forestry check that out please? There are so many people who use that path between the parks. Thank you so much for all that you do! Sincerely, Bronwyn Shroyer
Graffiti on rocks and under overpass. Between July 5 and July 8, 4 or 5 very large rocks on the edge of the creek have been sprayed with bright pink and blue paint: FUCK something, cross HMC, and other marks. This can be seen by starting at the small parking lot off Moore's Pike (East of Tennis Courts) on the paved Trail. The large rocks are about half way to the overpass on the creek bank at one of the prettiest spots on the creek. This is farther east than the small bridge that leads up to Southeast Park playground. The black and blue (?) painting on the underpass has been there for at least a week - in black: FUCK BPD among other things. I think there is something new since 7/5 above the entrance to the underpass that includes MOE.
Debris collected by the bridge on the Jackson Creek Trail.
Kudos to the city arborist who chose native trees to plant in the easement along the S High St trail project. The Yellowwoods and Eastern Redbuds will provide a nice "cream and crimson" display in the years they bloom in sync in spring. I do have to ask if the Yellowwoods are the right type of street tree to be planted 15ft from a busy street, given it's broad / round habit and potential to have multiple central leaders. Tree-bush?
Will Milestone sod the recently added mounds of clay they added to the edges of the amended asphalt north of Wimbleton, or do they just expect the homeowners to try to establish new seed in the fourth week of October? They haven't seeded any of their patches of added clay, yet the drainage pattern will wash all of that new "soil" away in the next few weeks of rain. They found in vitally important to sod the easement along Arden, yet completely ignored the massive easements between Arden and Rock Creek Ct - watching them wash into the gutters and creek. And the whole area around Wimbleton is a drainage nightmare. This will come back and bite the city in the behind next flood season. Why do you hire these clowns? Are they related to Hamilton?
The multi use path along High Street is still not completed around the telephone/electrical pole just south of the corner with Wimbleton Ln. This unfixed part of the path continues to be unsafe 6 months after the rest of the path was completed. Is there a timeline for fixing this?
