Resident reports trash buildup and human waste as well as unleashed dogs preventing use of B-Line Trail at intersection of Grimes & Morton.
I first reported this May 20, 2019. I received notice July 15th that it had been taken care of. I took this photo today. There is still a large pile of trash along the trail at Griffy that runs from Lanam Road to Griffy Creek. It includes 2 tires, LOTS of broken glass, and lots of sharp rusted pieces of metal. It is about 1/3 or 1/2 of a mile down the trail from Lanam Road. There is a downed tree and log between the road and trash pile that might need to be cut if a wheeled device is used to remove the trash. My original ticket in May was 168600. Other trees blocking the trail which I reported earlier (ticket 168601) have been removed and I thank you!

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.
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.
