Large-sized tree has fallen across LC trail, towards the south end. Has been there for a few months now. Is south of the construction/Winter Shelter. Near the concrete parking area, where there are also concrete blocks - this area is on the east side of the road.
I have walked the trail at Latimer Woods at least once a day for the last 4 years. Thanks for providing us with a dirt trail through the woods. Last fall, I believe employees of Parks and Rec. raked the leaves off the trail after they all fell in November. While this may have seemed like a good idea, the trail became treacherous after a rain, freeze/thaw, or snow. Please leave the leaves on the trail. They provide traction, and help prevent erosion. Thanks, Mike Forney
While walking late last night (circa midnight) along the asphalt path around the parks, I noticed that someone had set up a small tent in the woods (last night, the tent was illuminated from within by the person's flashlight). It was just a few yards off the lower end of the path that cuts through the woods between Olcott and the Goat Farm areas, where the path bends (tent was off the outside of the corner) and comes into view of the small bridge over Jackson Creek. On previous nights, I've smelled a latrine odor in the same general area, so I doubt this was the first occurrence. Given that this is very near a popular wading stream and not far from the playground, I decided to report it.
The homwless are back dragging in matress and blankets and much miscellaneous putting an enclosure, then leaving and of course leaving piles of trash Much of th trash looks like items given them so they can live on the streets then they abandon it all and get more items to live elsewhere and leave trash there again. When will this giving to them stop so they have to be in shelters.
Can you please add dog bags along the b-line. Especially by switchyard park.
overgrown tree blocks path.
On the North loop side of the lake, there are those steps going up to the dam from what used to be the old dog park. Yesterday I nearly fell when I stepped on a loose step, the fourth one down from the top. The nails are barely in and the wood can tip out of place as you step on it.
Reaching out potentially for more information. We have a lot of Residents who use this trail by our property at City Flats and they have continuously complained about the downed trees and brush around the trail and being a potential fire hazard. More information if this could be cleaned up or if there are limits would be appreciated! Email is best but I will happily speak to someone over the phone.
The dog water fountain has not been working for many weeks.
My husband and I were at the trail head parking lot and saw a woman go into the woods along the creek and then came out of the woods carrying a trap. Is this allowed? If so you should post signs warning people. A child or dog could easily slip into the woods and get injured.
