Olcott Park

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?

Sidewalk & Curb Complaints
109 E Allen ST
- Case Date:
- 5/25/2025
There is a section of sidewalk completely gone and is gravel. I've noticed it for years. It is unsafe for runners and cyclists. In addition, the entire stretch of sidewalk in between Washington and Walnut on the NORTH side (by the car repair place) is in need of replacement. I use this stretch to get to the Bline all the time, and with little cyclists, and as a runner, this cracked sidewalk is dangerous. Please replace!
Animal Control & Neglected Pets
3rd & Eagleson
- Case Date:
- 5/25/2025
Two very assertive/aggressive deer. One initially on the south side of 3rd, saw three humans and three dogs and trotted from 25-50 yards away, crossed the street, and then followed us on the campus side of the street until the 3rd person in our group deterred it with waving their hat, enough for the deer to run parallel with us again on the other side of the street. Second deer looked over rock ledge at the music school, spotted us, and then proceeded to walk towards us as if to meet up right at the 3rd/Eagleson bus stop. Two deer ended up interacting with one another after the first deer crossed back to our side. Humans and dogs entered Soma to plot remainder of walking route. This area is very busy with cars, buses, cyclists, and pedestrians, and the music school constantly has people in/out of it during the summer months. I’m concerned for all parties, but I would like to know what I can do to deter a deer that is actively pursuing me. I’ve now had deer chase me twice in the last two years. Last year near Bryan Park, and now on campus. Signs to avoid the area aren’t going to cut it if the deer will follow and pursue for blocks.

Twin Lakes Sports Park
- Case Date:
- 5/25/2025
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
