I would like to highlight what I believe to be one remaining safety concern along that B-Line bike path. It has to do with the bridge on Allen that crosses over the open drainage (right by the Traffic Division's garage). When approaching the bridge from either direction, there are significant gaps on either side where there is no barrier between the road and the drainage culvert. I am concerned that a cyclist -- perhaps one pulling over to allow a car to pass -- could misjudge their stopping distance and ride into the culvert. Additionally, there is no easy way for someone who does fall in to climb back out.
I believe that the expense to fix this would be low. It appears that an attempt may have been made to create a curb at one point, but the work appears to be incomplete and not sufficient to stop a bicycle. However, something like a length of guardrail seems like it would be more than sufficient.
Thank you for taking time to read my concern.

I was walking my dog this morning on the trail at Winslow and High (I call it the goat farm, but am not sure if this is the correct name). There are signs all over about Pesticide use stating that it was applied on Wednesday and should be avoided until Saturday. Yesterday when I was walking my dog these signs were not posted yet and he (and I think many other neighborhood dogs) went in that area. I am concerned that the signs were not posted earlier as I would not have gone there to walk my dog. In the future could you post signs alerting that this will be done as well WHEN it is done?

Question on map. Greenway that goes W/E on 7th I saw as a dotted line on a map with other dotted line proposed trails. Are improvements going to be made to the existing path/greenway on 7th/morningside/etc.? Thank you.

A tree question but didn't see category. House at 4011 E Morningside has big dead tree trunk in corner of yard. Branches were cut off. Anything the city can do to cut down the rest of that trunk? Even if just a stump is way better than current.

Hi there. The bike trail that goes from Park Ridge to the by-pass along the railroad tracks is in serious need of trimming back the vegetation. It is getting difficult to ride with all the obstacles growing into the trail. Thank you.

On Saturday evening, I was running on the Renwick Trail that connects Moores Pike to Sare Road. On the trail, a man was repeatedly driving a moped with children on the back of the moped. The trail, I believe, is intended only for cyclists, runners, and walkers, not for motorized vehicles, though there is no sign overtly prohibiting such use. The trail is winding and narrow and it was getting dark, making it very dangerous for this moped to drive through the trail. Several runners had to step off the trail to avoid the vehicle. I confronted the man about the issue, telling him it was not safe, but he was resistant, saying if I showed him a sign he would stop. I suspect he intends to ride the trail again. I request that, assuming such use of the trail is prohibited, a sign for the trail and for the police to keep an eye out for this man on his moped to keep the trail safe. Thank you.

We really need a restroom or at least a port-o-potty in this park
