On Saturday, November 22, 2025, during the farmers market this morning, I observed at least 3 different kids on electric motorcycles traveling at a high rate of speed along the B-Line Trail through Switchyard Park. The motorcycles are not e-bikes as they appear to have no crank arms for pedals and the kids are not pedaling. They are racing through the park on the trails with complete disregard for the safety of others. There was also a kid on a gasoline powered motorcycle riding on the B-Line Trail. Can the city police enforce the illegal riding of motorcycles, electric or otherwise, on the trails in town? The use of electric motorcycles on the trails should not be permitted.
Side walk and Path not cleared as of noon Thursday 12/4 Side walk along S. Highland and steep path to Winslow Sports complex not cleared. Trail was mostly clear in park. This area is often overlooked by crew. It is a well used path from the south and bus stop and can quickly turn to black ice in this weather. It is also very narrow along street and often gets buried by plows.
Can the City go out to make sure the woods all along the entire length of the Rail Trail from Country Club to Gordon Pike are clear of homeless camps? These were all evicted previously and there may be people living on the City property again. This morning there were multiple men screaming and yelling obscenities at each other back in the woods along the trail. This is dangerous for everyone who uses the trail, as it is a secluded, wooded area that has had a ton of safety issues previously. This area has had fights, frequent searches for wanted people who have committed all manner of crimes, weapons have been found in those camps, and there was deemed to be a serious fire hazard. I have smelled some smoke recently, suggesting their may be illegal burning happening again. Do not let this problem continue, as it was already dealt with and needs to be routinely enforced. These encampments are a serious danger.
There is a mound of snow blocking the pathway from the B-Line Trail please address this
The Hopewell Plaza is haphazardly plowed. Half the sidewalks are clear, half aren’t. Some crosswalks are clear and some aren’t. For something that’s supposed to be the “great new area” in the city, we’re doing a poor job of maintaining it for winter use.
The trail on the west side of the Rogers Family Park has broken boards on one of the small bridges. Thank you!
There is a large, dead tree with branches hanging over the B-Line near lamppost 157. It probably needs to be dealt with for safety. If possible, could it be "topped" instead of removed completely? Even 12 feet or so of standing trunk would provide good habitat for woodpeckers and other critters.
Found tire along trail. Moved it to the trash bin by Unity Church and BRT parking
Pedestal lights are still out on the east side of the Winslow Sports Complex walking/running trail. I reported these a couple of months ago.
