This was reported to me by a citizen: The little steps on the B-line near 1st & Morton. The tops of some of the steps are loose and wobbly.

This the foot bridge over the stream at the North end of the clear creek trail. This is on the east end of the bridge. The piece of metal my kid is pointing at should be over the big crack at her feet.
The Clear Creek Trail is under attack by the local flora! Yes, that's right - the vegetation is taking over. The entire route of the trail, from Tapp Road to Church Lane, needs to be seriously trimmed back. The trees and brush are overtaking the trail. There are hazards from both a vertical and horizontal line of attack. In places the trail is narrowed by the overgrowth crowding out the trail. In other places, there are branches hanging down low that can take a rider off a bike. The entire length of the trail needs some trim work to cut back the overgrowth and low hanging branches and restore the trail to its full width. The trail would be much safer with this work completed.
52. That's how many vertical and/or horizontal obstructions I counted on the Clear Creek Trail from the Tapp Road trailhead to the Church Lane bridge. 52 points where tree limbs or overgrown bushes are in the way. Cyclists have to duck. Pedestrians have to weave. It's dangerous and makes sharing the trail tough. 52. Maybe you count differently. Even if it's half or a quarter, that's still 26 or 13 hazards. That's dangerous. This trail needs cleaned up to allow unfettered access and enjoyment.
Just north of the His & Her Salon on Rogers the multi-use path on the west side of Rogers is heavily impeded by overgrowth of a tree or bush thing. This is dangerous. As part of the B-Line detour, this needs to be trimmed back.
Just south of the intersection of Rogers and Coolidge the multi-use path on the west side of Rogers is heavily impeded by overgrowth of a tree. This is dangerous. As part of the B-Line detour, this needs to be trimmed back.
At Broadview Park, the gates are just sort of hanging there. They seem to be off their hinges. Thank you!
The recently removed Wapahani lake has produced a new washout problem; and I’m also concerned that a similar problem is going to happen to the remaining lake of the old twin lakes of years past. I’m not sure why people think removing a large body of water is the best answer for alleviating water issues. Anyway, before I digress further. I know the city/county are well aware that something permanent will need to be done. My hopes are that a well thought out plan will be considered
The nature trail at Winslow Park now has many more paths than indicated by your online map, so many that Parks and Rec needs to mark the main trails to distinguish them from many, many spurs.
I've recently noticed the Rail Trail between Country Club Drive and Gordon Pike has sections of large gravel (see attached photo). I appreciate that maintenance is being done, assuming the City is responsible for this work. But, I am concerned because this large gravel is inconsistent with the existing surface for the trail. As a bike commuter and runner on this section of the trail, I was disappointed to see large gravel appear on the surface. The Rail Trail is a great surface to run and walk on and commute on. These patches of large gravel pieces diminish it's utility and enjoyment. Are there plans to use large gravel more often on the trail? I request that the smaller, packed surface be maintained. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you about the maintenance of the trail. Have a great day.
