One of the swings broke at the playground. Missing a link. See pic
I found a syringe just a foot or two off the B-Line Trail in a clump of spearmint growing behind the orange building at 7th and Madison. Ironically, the syringe was orange too. I left it there, because I am not trained in handling syringes, but it should probably get picked up and disposed of properly. Thanks, Yael
I'm wondering if there's been any thoughts about developing a mountain biking loop around lake griffy? I'm sure that we could get some volunteer and local business support for building and maintaining something and maybe work with the university on a mtb'ing club who could also be trail stewards. Additionally, maybe some trail connectivity through that area could enable realistic bike commuting to Marlin Elementary. I don't think anyone wants to take their child on a bike down Griffy dam hill or old 37. I would be interested in meeting with someone and getting back into public service if a champion of the idea was needed. Thanks!
For the last few mornings there have been cars parked in front of the entrance to the Polly Grimshaw bike bath on the street right by the Park Ridge Park playground. I would like to request a more visible "no parking" sign be installed as this can be very inconvenient and even dangerous depending on how fast you are going on a bike.
There appears to be Johnson Grass growing along the Jackson Creek Trail, north of Rhorer Road. There is a small bit on the west side of the trail, just north of the farm. There is much more on the creek side of the trail across from the farm. Johnson Grass is very invasive.
Several of the bridges on the trail at RCA park have severe damage. One of them has been broken for weeks, the other has several broken boards and has become unsafe in the last day. There is also a deep pot hole in the asphalt. I am sending pictures of the problems. I greatly appreciate what all of you do! Thank you!
