Guest came into WonderLab having found sharps on the trail near the janeway statue. There are piles of abandoned belongings around the side entrance to our WonderGarden on the trail. This is a safety issue for our guests and staff.

There are mattresses, a small dresser, trash and broken down vehicle parked/abandoned at the northern trailhead on Dunn St. My neighbor says he saw a tent and campsite in the trail early this morning as well. I don't mind the squatter camping, but the excessive trash is unacceptable.
There is a large amount of poison hemlock in several spots along the Polly Grimshaw Trail. Some of it is falling into the path. Some unknowing person might pick the flowers or try to remove it from the path.
overgrown tree blocks path.
Grimshaw Trail: rain washed sewer cover off. danger to cyclists.
Erosion noted between 7th street and the bike path as it curves under IN 46. Not bad now, but going to cause a hazard as it gets worse.
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!
The east end of the trail tunnel under 46 has broken glass that is also on the path leading to that entrance.
A couple of the street lights on the Polly Grimshaw east of SR 46 Trail and directly behind East Bay apartments are burned out.
