I reported power lines/wires within reach of the sidewalk off Rogers very close to the front of the entrance to switchyard park over a month ago. This seems like a very serious issue. Why hasn’t anything been done about this? Has been like this for 6+ months! It’s sad to think there are people working for the city that see this as anything other than an emergency situation.
The electrical outlets at the large shelter do not work. Trying to reset the breakers in the box also did not restore the electricity to the two outlets.
While walking late last night (circa midnight) along the asphalt path around the parks, I noticed that someone had set up a small tent in the woods (last night, the tent was illuminated from within by the person's flashlight). It was just a few yards off the lower end of the path that cuts through the woods between Olcott and the Goat Farm areas, where the path bends (tent was off the outside of the corner) and comes into view of the small bridge over Jackson Creek. On previous nights, I've smelled a latrine odor in the same general area, so I doubt this was the first occurrence. Given that this is very near a popular wading stream and not far from the playground, I decided to report it.
Where the Southeast park/renwick trail runs parallel to hillside/east Moores there needs to be some kind of barrier between the road and the pedestrians. The speed limit is 30 but the average speed of traffic is 45-50
The Switchyard Skatepark lights need turned back on for the evenings. I've talked to the construction crew and they only intended them to be off for the first couple days. Thanks!
Switchyard Skatepark lights still haven't been turned on. B-Line and adjacent park lights came on around 7:10p last night, and by the time I left at 8 (because it was too dark to keep skating), they still weren't on. I'd really like to make sure they're on for tomorrow's opening of the new features! (Though tonight would be better) Secondary comment: Is there a way to update old tickets instead of creating new ones? I've tried replying to the emails in the past but that didn't seem to work.
I have walked the trail at Latimer Woods at least once a day for the last 4 years. Thanks for providing us with a dirt trail through the woods. Last fall, I believe employees of Parks and Rec. raked the leaves off the trail after they all fell in November. While this may have seemed like a good idea, the trail became treacherous after a rain, freeze/thaw, or snow. Please leave the leaves on the trail. They provide traction, and help prevent erosion. Thanks, Mike Forney
mallet missing from metal bells. currently unplayable.
Please add a sprayer at the dog park enclosures at Switchyard park, like the one at Ferguson dog park. There are lots of muddy puddles our dog can’t resist and it would be great to have a way to hose her down before getting back in the car.
The security lights both on the trail and the parking lot have been off at dark for the past several days. I'm not sure if they are damaged or just turned off for some reason.
