A small redbud tree in the grass strip on Essex Court has died and is in need of replacement. Additionally at least one old crabapple tree to the west on Allendale between Westminster Dr and Sowder Sq. had also died. Both spots seem like good candidates for replacement trees as well.

There is no farmers market page that is available on Instagram or other social media you have to subscribe to a weekly email and there is no information easily available for each week or even the month on the city website. This needs to be rectified as it is very exclusive to only utilize Facebook. It also does not provide information to more people who are interested or for people who are not from town.

The bug maple city tree in front of our house on S Washington (near the corner of Dodds) has a carpenter ant infestation at the base of the trunk. If treated immediately I think the tree can still be saved. Will the city do this? If not, may I do so? We don’t want to lose this beautiful tree.

There has been a grove of mature sassafras trees along the edge of the upper field at Olcott. This field is on the right as you enter the park from the road, and the grove is at the back of this field. Most of them are now dead, and the remaining ones are partially dead. Is this caused by a disease? Should some sort of action be taken?

Parking lot at TLSP What can Parks do to help stop the illegal setting off of fireworks on Parks property. This is a violation of State laws and local ordinances. The police come and just tell them to stop and leave. Leaving trash for parks staff to clean up and let alone the fire danger during drier conditions. The spontaneous truck and sports car meet ups that take place around town and also at Twin Lakes ball field parking lot. There is drinking, underage drinking, and drugs. They also have been doing donuts and burns in the past which harms the pavement z as no striping. Again the police come and tell them to leave. There have been promoter/ organizers for these “street / parking lot takeovers “Maybe some fines and payment for the damages would help. I know parking lot striping is not cheap. Maybe the City could put ing a street / parking lot take over ordinance similar to Indianapolis. Which has escalating fines for participating and spectators, long payment for damages. I know for years the parks has let drink beer after ballgames has as an exception to the no alcohol in certain parks rule. Now some of the teams have been smoking pot a long with drinking beer after ballgames and then driving can not be a good thing to have out on the road. Thanks

Hello, I am writing about the gravel paths along the bline. They are very inconsistent on each side, and this limits how my wife with a disability is able to talk up and down the bline. Because it is designed for 2-way taffic, her mobility issue means she hazards the wrong side of the path to get to the very helpful gravel parts. From country club road to 2nd street (i’m unsure of condition further NW, the paths are inconsistenly maintained and at time neither side is very good. I’ve seen many other people that use those paths and believe it is an accessibility issue. We hope they can be restored to how they once were. Many paths are only a few inches wide and not enough and some have over growth from spring, some seem very wide and well maintained but only on one side. Thank you for your consideration to this message. I’m only marking this as a ‘complaint’ rather than ‘suggestion’ because i believe it to be an accessability issue as previously stated.
