Hello, This afternoon I noticed that someone had set up an animal trap at the SE end of the lake in the Wapehani Mountain Bike Park (right next to the bridge over the stream that flows out of the lake). It's a large, spring-loaded cage. Is this something that you're aware of, or is someone trying to catch animals illegally? Best, Kasia Chmielewska
The trail behind city flats at Fenwick is really overgrown. Is this city or private property?
The Polly Grimshaw Trail is in dire need of bush and tree trimming. The east bound "lane" is overgrown and in many places only two or three feet of the west bound "lane" is usable so that two bicycles would not be able to pass at the same time without one of them leaving the trail. A particular hazard is just east of the Pete Ellis crossing where a recently broken branch of a locust tree (the kind with thorns) is covering most of the trail. A thorn could easily puncture a bicycle tire. I realize that Parks and Recreation has always denied having jurisdiction over this trail. But this was the only link I found to report this. Please pass this request on to which ever department would be able to handle it. Thanks so much!
Is it necessary for BPD to drive down the walking path? For non-emergency patrols? Wasn't the idea of the sub-station at Switchyard Park so that BPD could walk, bike or Segway around the park? The gas usage, the damage to infrastructure, the danger of driving on a pedestrian path. For all those reasons they should not be driving through Switchyard Park unnecessarily.
Almost run over by bikes while walking in Cascades
Hi. I already sent this in, but I didn’t know how this form worked. Anyway, I LOVE that the road in Cadcades is closed for pedestrians. I think it is GREAT and might revitalize that park. But, when I was walkng there yesterday, a pack of racing bicyclists (think Little 500 pratice) came screaming around a corner, directly into where we were walkng and suddenly they were screaming “people! people!” and whooshing around us. It really felt like they could have hit us and we could have been really hurt. They were going very fast and there were about 15 of them. The road in Cascades is not safe as a pedestrian walkway if that continues. It really worries me.
Clear Creek trail, 1? mile south of Tapp, water fountain is taped up. It really would be good to get it going again, as is a needed water stop between Tapp and the Sheriff's substation further south.
