Grass overgrowth on playgrounds
Grass overgrowth on playgrounds
One of the two trees in the City ROW in front of this house (the west tree) is almost completely dead with large branches high up that look like they could fall any minute onto something or someone. The east tree looks fine, except for all the vines growing on it that could be stressing it.
The lights in Peoples Park along the eastern edge of the park and on the 507 E. Kirkwood Avenue building are not operating, creating a haven at night for an overnight encampment of people, various belongings, litter, etc. The lights shine into the Park to create more visibility/safety for pedestrians/visitors.
The tree at Site ID: 28394 has been taken over by ivy and is dying. Several large limbs have fallen and pose a danger to pedestrians and vehicles. The latest limb to fall was quite large and fell only a few feet from a car parked on the street. I've moved the limb out of the road and to the side of my driveway but I believe this tree needs to come down to prevent future damage or injury.
the tree in front of the business has low hanging branches that need trimmed up. please and thank you!
Tree 35138 is rotting pretty badly on the sidewalk side
There's a dead city street tree along Acuff Road behind 1158 Sugarberry Court. Also, city street trees along Sugarberry Court are hanging in the roadway and on sidewalks
My wife took our kids to switchyard park today and went to the playground area where 3 men who she did not know seemed to follow her and the kids around various areas of the playground. They were hanging around close enough for her to feel unsafe and leave the park, which is very unlike her. My request would be for areas (particularly those used by younger children) to have an increase security presence so folks aren't feelin this way in our parks.
At switchyard park. Two different groups of people with stolen shopping carts from local retailers. I see this throughout town constantly and see law enforcement, parks department, and other city officials ignoring this problem. No individual own these shopping carts at any point and they cost retailers hundreds of dollars each. Law enforcement needs called anytime somebody sees an individual with a shopping cart outside of that business. Those carts need returned to their owners and those people need held accountable via the law. Please help rising cost of consumers goods!!!!
Last two Sundays Switchyard park especially the playground has been covered in trash. The best part is that there have been multiple parks employees standing around some "picking up trash" in the same small area for long periods of time. Not sure if this is a "not my job" situation but it really wouldn't take much time if employees showed motivation in cleaning up the park.
