There is poison hemlock growing along both sides of the trail from Pete Ellis east to beyond the pool at The Crossing. There is also poison hemlock sprouting on the dirt slope going down from Pete Ellis to the tennis courts of The Crossing where they cleared out a homeless encampment last year. I'm not sure if this is public or private land.
The water at the Limestone Greenway trailhead water fountain recently has tasted strange. Almost like it has some metal in it.
Lower Cascades Park: Single person mattress in stream. Location: By Waterfall shelter, close to the red colored pedestrian bridge. Please remove. Thanks!
Can the city check the Rail Trail and surrounding property to make sure the homeless aren't camping there again after being evicted and trespassed in 2024? There's some tents visible and tonight (4/21/25) it smells like burning trash again. Please continue to monitor this area and prevent the problem from returning. It's unsafe with the homeless by the trail and the problem needs to be kept at bay permanently. Thanks.

Multiple trail locations including, but not limited to, Leonard Springs, Clear Creek Trail, Olcott Park, and RCA Park have fallen or partially fallen trees which pose a danger to trail users because they are hanging precariously over the trails. Of secondary importance is the fact that these same parks are littered in fallen trees and limbs which pose a significant fire risk. I frequent these trails regularly and can provide multiple photos of the conditions I have described above. Please take time to investigate this urgent safety concern for the sake of our city's park users. Thank you!
More Japanese knotweed on northeast side of bridge over Clear Creek on new trail spur. There is a larger patch of younger knotweed on the opposite bank too.

Super fat kudos to whoever cleaned up this corner! It was a dangerous crossing but now you can easily see cars in both directions.
