There's a person riding a gasoline powered motorcycle or bicycle or similar contraption up and down the Rail Trail just about daily lately. It's very loud and goes too fast for a pedestrian and multi-use trail. I've seen it numerous times between Gordon Pike and Country Club on the rail trail. Just one of the many problems and dangers the city allows to continue on the trail since the homeless camps on city property on the trail have swelled in size. Those camps need to be cleared out immediately for the safety of all trail users.

On some Saturdays and/or Sundays there are groups of adult flag football and basketball BLASTING loud and occasionally vulgar music. It is very disturbing
while we are upstairs lifting weights or on an adjacent basketball court. Please consider adding a policy of NO MUSIC period. We understand that music is needed for the gymnastics meets you host and for the silver singles exercise classes during the week. Thank you

The playground at Bryan Park off of Henderson St. has an extremely loud swing set that just needs some WD-40 or something! It’s just super loud when used; we can hear it inside of our house across from the park. Thank you!

Every Saturday, a group of basketball players bring in an amplifier to the gym and blast music which contains offensive language. Several people have complained to front desk personnel, asking them to tell the players to turn the music down, which can be heard everywhere on the main floor of the facility. Unfortunately, no TLRC facility staff members have been able to do anything about this issue. Children are subjected to songs which include the words "f*ck" "rape" "n*gger" etc. Because nothing had been done about it by the staff, someone approached a member of the basketball group and politely asked them if they could turn the music down. A member of the group verbally assaulted and intimidated the person causing the person to leave the facility because they were so upset and felt threatened by the response of the basketball player. I would like to ask if a rule could be added to the facility that no one is to play personal music that can be heard by others while inside the TLRC. Thank you for your consideration of this request. I have been a member for several years and know people who use the TLRC frequently. When I am there on Saturdays, many people complain but no one says anything for fear of retaliation or lack of action by staff. Thank you very much for your consideration of our request.

A large pine tree is leaning toward the street (Queen's Way). It appears to be leaning more whenever there is a strong wind or heavy rain. It may fall onto the sidewalk and into the street soon. It is a very large tree and could cause serious damage to a pedestrian or vehicle.

The bathroom at lower cascades is locked and it’s spring break. Countless kids are finding a tree to use. Could you open the bathrooms for the season or for atleast spring break? Thanks!

The debris dam on the creek below the bridge between Sherwood Oaks Park and Olcott Park has become even more effective. The water level at the bridge is visibly higher, and so much water is now being held back that there is a waterfall over one end of the dam. There has been more erosion of the flat land along the creek at the base of the trail through Olcott Woods. It is likely that the abundance of leaves in the creek this winter (from people disposing of leaves in the creek?) has made the dam more effective.
