I think the Limestone Greenway is a wonderful addition to our Trails. However, I think it needs at least one trash receptacle. Otherwise, it will get trashed.

Paula, I wrote earlier today about an issue on the Trail, and I didn't clearly state which Trail. I am talking about the Rail Trail off of Country Club Rd. There is a proliferation of seemingly invasive plants on the first mile or so of the Trail. I thought you would like to know.
I run the Trail starting at Tapp Rd frequently. I have noticed a proliferation of plants along the Trail so that the Trail is narrowed considerably. Especially there is a plant with a pink blossom. It appears very invasive. I don't know if you want these plants or not. I would think not.
Renwick trail is very over grown and narrowed path so that two way traffic is unsafe. Thanks for the pavement patches. Also, graffiti is back on the walls next to and under the tunnel of this trail.
I have a couple of concerns. One is when they have treated for invasive species on the portion of the trail I walk between Country Club and Gordon, there is nothing other than a sign. There is no indications of what areas have been treated, nothing is blocked off. I'm also concerned about the fact that there isn't a spot to throw away animal poo bags on the trail between Country Club and Gordon. I have seen several abandoned along the trail or the waste not being picked up at all.
There is a hazardous sheet metal sculpture of a chicken setting on flat pavement adjacent to the B-Line. It is between Kirkwood Ave and Sixth St. When riding a bicycle on the B-Line here it is easy to veer over onto this adjacent pavement. The chicken's sheet metal wattles hang down so that they can be right in the path of a cyclist's head. Two different cyclists have told me that they have collided with these sheet metal chicken wattles. In both cases their helmets prevented serious injury. One of the cyclists showed me that their helmet was messed up by the collision. Something should be done to eliminate this situation.
Just north of Moravec Way there was a downed tree branch spanning the width of the trail. I cleared smaller bits that were easy to move and that left one side of the trail open, but the other side contains the heavier, fuller branch.
The trail to Park Ridge Park is over grown to the point where bikes and peds can not pass each other without using the grass verge. Dangerous especially at evening
The bollard at the head of the Polly Grimshaw Trail has broken off its base. The bollard itself is next to the trail out of the way. At this point, there is no protection of the trail or the park from cars/trucks. It seems like at least the broken bollard should be removed from the site and ideally a new one put in place.
These trees fell across the trail at Griffy that leads from Lanam Road to the creek. They are difficult to scramble over and need to be cut. They have been there awhile. They will need to be cut in order to remove the trash in my other ureport. There is another large tree near these that should probably be cut as well though it can be stepped over.
