Hi. I already sent this in, but I didn’t know how this form worked. Anyway, I LOVE that the road in Cadcades is closed for pedestrians. I think it is GREAT and might revitalize that park. But, when I was walkng there yesterday, a pack of racing bicyclists (think Little 500 pratice) came screaming around a corner, directly into where we were walkng and suddenly they were screaming “people! people!” and whooshing around us. It really felt like they could have hit us and we could have been really hurt. They were going very fast and there were about 15 of them. The road in Cascades is not safe as a pedestrian walkway if that continues. It really worries me.

Clear Creek trail, 1? mile south of Tapp, water fountain is taped up. It really would be good to get it going again, as is a needed water stop between Tapp and the Sheriff's substation further south.

There is an accumulation of sticks, trash, and general debris that has dammed the stream running alongside the B-Link Trail, approx. 600 feet from S Walnut Street. As of late, whenever we experience heavy rains, the water floods onto the trail itself, as photographed.

Tree down completely blocking B-Line Trail just northwest of where it crosses Moravec Way. I ran this route yesterday afternoon after the storm and the trail was clear at that time, so it happened sometime between yesterday late afternoon and this morning.

There is a trail that connects Lower Cascades to the Skate Park at Upper Cascades by passing the waterfall. The trail is clear except near the north trailhead, just off the northwest corner of the basketball court at the Skate Park. Where the pavement ends the trail is so overgrown that it is nearly impassable and one has to push through the foliage. It would be much appreciated if you would trim through this section so we could continue running this trail as it is now impossible to run through here. Thank you!

Went to Leonard Springs last Monday. As you know there is a trail map just inside the gate. That map is at the junction of the main trail, the road, and what appears to be a trail off to the right. We decide that we should tackle the difficult part and then have an easy hike backup on the road. Big mistake. The trail was steep and very slick from the rain. Half way down a friend slipped in the mud, tried to steady himself on a tree which immediately gave way causing him to faceplant into downed debris and breaking the radius in the elbow. Luckily we had a soft pack to use as a sling. Being that going backup would be impossible we continued down hoping to pick up the road as indicated on the map. Since the trail in most info we had seen prior listed the trail as easy what we were on was in no way "easy." Much to our surprise we encountered another much more well defined and developed trail which we could take back up. This trail was easy, steps and well groomed surface. Once back on the road we stopped and looked at the trail map again. It soon became apparent the sign was in a very unfortunate location or would have better served by having an annotation like "you are here" with an arrow indicating the trail is actually 50 yards down the road. Please move the sign or add a caveat that what appears to be a well worn trail is very steep and difficult is not the main trail. My friend has had one surgery and faces others to repair the damage. By the way we are all fairly athletic and experienced hikers. thank you for your consideration.
