This was reported as a fire hazard, and also being reported as a trails issue to keep the parks dept updated on the activity along the Rail Trail. Large fire at 10:10pm on June 19, 2024, in the woods along the Rail Trail. The homeless camp on City-owned property (according to the GIS) is burning a large, open fire this evening. This is on the Rail Trail north of Gordon Pike maybe 0.3 to 0.4 miles, east and south of the Terrace Drive area. This is a significant hazard to the City property and neighboring private property. The fires need to stop and the camps need to be cleared out immediately before the homeless burn acres of woods, fences, sheds, houses, trailers -- anything in the vicinity could go up in flames soon.

The tops of the swings chains were all assembled with bolts that are too small, which prevents the nuts from fully attaching. I discovered this by finding one of the nuts on the ground, so I looked up at the connection point and the bolt had no nut and was unsecured. I would highly recommend reattaching the swings at the top with longer bolts and lock nuts.
In order to prevent injury, I have fully disconnected this side of the swing and left all hardware attached.
Thanks!

Now that other encampment areas have been cleared, there has been an increased number of unhoused people sleeping in Bryan Park. Getting dressed, yelling a city workers, leaving trash. The Bryan Park Neighborhood has increased issues with suspicious activities and theft in and around houses. Though not necessarily due to unhoused people, the increase seems correlated to Bryan Park activity levels increasing.

Just want to suggest that when the crews are cleaning up the landscaping on Sayre RD in the median, they close the left lanes.
They are too close to the road working on the median. Someone is going to get hurt.

There are three downed trees blocking the forested trail between upper Olcott and the Jackson Creek playground (by Rogers Family Park), plus a couple very large branches. Another tree has fallen over the new southern trail extension (leading to Rhorer from the Jackson Creek playground), squashing the wooden rail fence between the trail and the nearby homeowner's gravel drive. There is also a large branch blocking the forested walking path on the east side of Olcott's football field.
