I live off of Thornton Dr and walk the B-Link trail to Switchyard Park daily. I have been observing a Cooper's hawk and two chicks in a nest for several weeks now, and was dismayed to see the city doing tree work over the last few days. They seem to have missed the tree with the hawks in it, but I would like to know 1) what environmental assessments were undertaken prior to conducting the tree work and 2) why the decision was made to remove branches now, during the nesting season, rather than in the fall or winter when most birds are not actively nesting. The disturbance from neighboring trees and noise could have been enough to make the birds abandon the nest out of fear for their safety, and they have lost significant protection from neighboring trees.

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.

There is about a 6 inch piece of rebar sticking out of the ground alongside the west side of the trail, right by one of the ground lights. It should be removed or cut down. The trail is heavily trafficked and someone could be injured if they trip or catch the edge of the trail right here. Photo attached.

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!!
