Winslow Sports Park trail is blocked by vegetation along the west side closest to Highland
Winslow Sports Park trail is blocked by vegetation along the west side closest to Highland
At the Twin Lakes Sports Park, there is a trail in the woods that goes behind the solar panels. A tree has fallen onto the trail, completely blocking it. The tree is near the entrance to the trail near a small bridge and the solar panels.
Despite the city's high-level promotion of leaf mulching for the sake of saving time, energy, money, and the environment, the city continues to deploy teams of city workers to rake, blow, and bag leaves along the B-line trail. I would hope that the city would set a better example by implementing its own climate recommendations for its citizens in maintaining city and public land.
Trail construction crews blocked up streams with riprap and culverts, destroyed understory growth with mounds of soil left on trail side, and damaged numerous old trees with careless use of equipment
Hi, It seems there maybe miscommunication within the chain of command or not a 100% buy-in to "best practice" or a little of both. Report #181846 described a problem and its location. Unfortunately the problem has not been addressed in any way. However, it does look as though some one came through with a leaf blower and cleared the cypress leaves that had covered the trail further up towards Southeast park, next to tennis court entrance and wood post. I do very much appreciate that as the the pavement is very bumpy there in the corner and can cause loss of control of bike or scooter as well as trip walkers. I don't have construction experience but have used a shovel in the yard and that is probably all it would take. Just a shovel and one person to remove some soil blocking the current grade from working properly. If that isn't the solution how about adding a thin layer of pavement so runoff goes the other direction. I believe this was done on Renwick trail, there are patches of pavement here and there. Thanks for your help with this.
Sidewalk on Montclair along Southeast park, as well as the trail running through the park still haven't been cleared of ice and snow. All the surrounding property owners were able to clear their sidewalks in a timely manner. I believe the city is responsible for the sidewalk along the park.
Just north of the His & Her Salon on Rogers the multi-use path on the west side of Rogers is heavily impeded by overgrowth of a tree or bush thing. This is dangerous. As part of the B-Line detour, this needs to be trimmed back.
There are large trees across trails.
I used the Highland address for Winslow Woods Park, but the problem is at the Azalea entrance. There is a large tree down across the trail (there was on Saturday, maybe you've taken care of it). Going further into the park, there is another tree down across the trail. It's been that way for over a week.
