Going east on Winslow, past Sherwood Oaks subdivision and before Abby Lane to your right, there is a pothole that is hard to miss near the center of the lane. It's a little hard to see and by the time you do, it's hard to miss.
There is a significant pothole at this intersection.
The stop sign at Wylie Farm Road and Henderson Street has War spray painted on it under the word Stop.
Due to sidewalks being replaced, tenants have to park on Woodside Dr. Unfortunately they are blocking the fire hydrants and the sidewalk crossings in the evenings so the physically challenged residents are unable to use the sidewalks. Vehicles are parked right up to the entrances of Persimmon Tree, Paper Birch and Willow Tree to the point you can't see around them to get in or out of those "drives". These parking issues are 99% of the time in the evenings when most tenants have returned home from work. There's plenty of room to park on Woodside but they won't move further down the road, everyone is crammed into the end of Woodside near Park Square Dr. It's dangerous, we don't walk over to the mailboxes there with all the cars because we're afraid of getting hit by a vehicle.
There have been two men camping in the shelter at Winslow Woods park for well over a week. They sleep on the shelter picnic tables at night and stay all day in the shelter, burning wood in the bbq pit. They have been there every day I have gone to the community gardens for the past few weeks. They seem to be storing their belongings in a maroon vehicle that is always there. It is concerning that these individuals have set up camp in the shelter, which effectively keeps anyone else from using it. I thought the city was prohibiting camping in our parks, but this one has been going on for a while now.
This is a follow up on Case #192474 that Tim Street closed last week regarding unhoused individuals using the park shelter at Winslow Woods near the Community Gardens and Community Orchard as a camp. I appreciate that the BPD is aware, but these unhoused individuals continue to live in the shelter. We go to our garden plot at sunrise and they are there, sleeping, so they obviously sleep there overnight. They are there all day, taking over a third of the shelter. They continue to burn smoky, green wood in the grill. There things are spread all over. I’m not aware they harass anyone but it’s uncomfortable. Are you saying it’s okay that they live there? That anyone can basically take over a park building for private use on an ongoing basis? Because that is what they have done. It appears the City has simply ceded the park to these guys. This needs to be addressed in a better way. I feel that others should be free to use the shelter and surrounding area without these men making it feel unsafe.
No crosswalk for kids coming from school there is no school zone signs anywhere and we need a light there for the kids to cross the road
