Winslow Woods Park on a spur trail, an individual has created a Mountain biking obstacle through plant life and dug up creek bed to create a jump. I’m pretty sure that this park does not allow bicycles on trails.
Old 37 & n walnut. The ped xing across walnut (part of the cascades trail that connects to griffy) is still / again broken. I stayed for five minutes, pushed the beg buttons lots of times, tried both directions. Always the red hand, never the white walk. The intersection is cycling normally and promptly for cars. The crossing of old 37 appears to be operating in ped recall mode (ie, working), though its countdown timer is misconfigured. But the high-stress crossing of walnut is versnickered. I get sick when i think how many millions of dollars we've spent on this recreational facility to still have this gap in the most dangerous part.

Winslow Woods has neighbors, on west side, that are clear cutting the woods (fresh stumps) behind their(?) homes, also they are leaving large brush piles of yard waste. They are making trails and lining them with cut trees.
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.
