A large, broken branch is hanging over the Clear Creek Trail. It's only held up by a few smaller branches and looks like it could fall pretty easily. Since it's such a large branch, I'm concerned that somebody could get hurt. Location is on Clear Creek Trail, north of the That Road Trailhead, about 100 feet north of the "From Tapp Round-About 1 mile marking sign that faces northbound.(or about 100 feet north of the last house that's on Dove Dr., on the right of the trail if you're going northbound)

Feels unsafe to walk trails during the day, numerous homeless people were seen on the sidewalks strung out on drugs. I noticed that the campers were coming out of several encampments throughout the trail during our walk. Also, just curious why the homeless camps have signs posted" private no trespassing" at various locations on trail? Are they on actually on private land or is it owned by the city? This was my first time at the trail and I'm sadden why such a beautiful park that was built with tax payers money has become a haven for the homeless community.

The unhoused community on the east side of the trail just south of the Switchyard dog park is causing some issues. This morning I was walking my dogs and noticed a dog running off leash, chasing down deer. It started to come towards us but its owner stepped out of the woods and grabbed it. The dog is obviously just being a dog but the owner needs to have the animal on a leash so it doesn’t injure anyone or get injured by someone who isn’t a fan of dogs. I did notice one of the deer limping.

There is an overcup oak in the Goat Farm / Rogers Family Park which appears to have lobed oak galls attached all over. These contain larva of the oak gall wasp. I did not know if this is an environmental / safety concern for the park, but I wanted to bring it to your attention. The tree is one of the first planted, smaller trees, on the left side of the trail if you are walking from Sherwood Oaks Park. Thank you!

Hello, We walked the B-line trail today as we do 1-2 times a week. Today the homeless population presence was overwhelmingly obvious, and frankly, prohibits use of benches, etc. and/or feeling safe. I took 4 pictures but seem unable to load them on this site without losing everything. Someone was actually drying their laundry on one of the benches. There was an over-flowing and abandoned shopping cart along the trail. Not far from that was a "tented" picnic table with two people sleeping and their unsightly over-loaded grocery carts of personal belongings...we are used to homeless people on this trail. We have called the police a few times because we weren't sure the people were alive. We have never seen so many over-loaded shopping carts and drying laundry before. To be honest, we love this trail (going north not far from Kroger) but we don't always feel safe on it. I understand and can tolerate a certain amount of mental illness but not harrassment. I do not claim to know a solution to homelessness, but it seems to me that parking shopping carts, drying laundry and taking over benches that are for people walking the trails should be monitored and at least an attempt made to clear it up. If you let me know an easy way to send you my pictures, I will but including an image here did not work for me. This is the worst I have ever seen this trail look (and feel) in the ten years we have lived here. Thank you for your attention. Eileen Caird
