Sometime last weekend someone threw the cones that are on the High Street sidepath, where the guy wires for the telephone pole extend into the path, over the fence. A couple of them have been retrieved, but others are on private property. The cones need to be set back up. Better yet, the guy wire situation should be taken care of.
There are a couple folks sleeping in the pavilion area and one tent erected on the nature trail. Have seen them the past few days taking my dog for a walk. Not sure if these are folks experiencing homelessness but figured city should be aware.
On the outer loop of the trail (at the bottom of the hill if you enter left where the pavillion is) there's a tent that I believe someone is living in. Was hoping to guide this individual to the Homelessness Resources department if possible. Thanks
There are three downed trees blocking the forested trail between upper Olcott and the Jackson Creek playground (by Rogers Family Park), plus a couple very large branches. Another tree has fallen over the new southern trail extension (leading to Rhorer from the Jackson Creek playground), squashing the wooden rail fence between the trail and the nearby homeowner's gravel drive. There is also a large branch blocking the forested walking path on the east side of Olcott's football field.
Clear Creek trail - about 1/4 mile from Tapp Rd trailhead. Dog waste trash can is overflowing and out of bags.
Parks and Rec Friends - We appreciated that you put down rock on the Creek's Edge Trail earlier this summer where one of the detention ponds drains. However, this past weekend's rains have washed the bulk of that rock from this crossing. We would appreciate a repair of this issue. Thank you!
There are low hanging branches on the trail through the middle of Bryan Park. There's an especially low one just east of the wooden bridge, but there are others that require ducking. There is also vegetation coming in from the creek side that should be pruned back.
I live right next to Bryan Park and walk my dogs there daily. Lately, there has been a noticeable increase in the amount of pet waste left uncollected by other dog owners. The middle path through the park is particularly bad. You can hardly go 10-15ft along the path without encountering a pile. I have stepped in several while moving out of the way for cyclists. I don’t have a good solution on how to fix this, people just aren’t picking up after their dogs and it’s becoming an issue.
There is an abandoned bike in the woods just behind the bench. It doesn't look like it's been there very long, and it looks like a fairly decent bike. The wheels are off, but they are nearby on the ground. It seems like too-expensive of a bike to just leave in the woods.
