Water fountain is not turned on, it had some teenager damage from last year, perhaps there is a work order in on it? I tried replying to your email last time, no go, and for some reason, I could not find a staff directory on the city's website.
attn. Tim Street, add to uReport #182858 Park Ridge Park Sign needs a refresh: As you see in the photo, the park signs needs cleaning and repainting. It also has a large hole from either a woodpecker or a bullet. In-person or focus in on the photo and you can see how the sign has deteriorated from the weather. Maybe even a new sign if the budget allows. Much appreciated!
Attn. Parks Department A request to install a dog waste station at the Park Ridge park. We have discussed preliminary logistics with staff member Joanna Sparks when she met with us on a related parks initiative. We believe the station will be well utilized and maintained by our park custodial staff member. He provides good consistent service by the way. Please consider this request, placed in a shady area maybe at the base of the ADA path close to the street circle level. We have many dog walkers in the area so it will be appreciated. Thank you -
Hello, I work for a local property manager, Mackie Properties. Our company manages a homeowners association called Madison Park located north of W Howe St, in between S Madison St and S Morton St. I was recently informed that the plants along a section of the B-line just east of Madison Park are becoming overgrown and would benefit from being trimmed. I've included photos of the relevant area, as well as a map of the area outlining the overgrown section with a red rectangle. Would it be possible for the City to trim up this area before the overgrowth gets too big? Thank you very much for your time, and please contact our office with any questions or updates.
Trails are overgrown, went there 2 weeks ago with the kids and then again yesterday. Thorns where nasty cutting legs, arms and faces. The parking lot area looked weed wacked, thanks. Winds blew trees over across trails too.
Large trees fell across trails in multiple places, west side near highway, east side not far from parking lot.
The middle trail with bridge across main creek is really over grown, very difficult to walk let alone ride.
there is a broken board on a bridge on south side of park.
There is a birch tree vandalized with racist hate. Vertically, in large letters, is the N word and above it is carved the initials of the KKK. I hope something can be done to erase this message of hate from this beautiful bike trail. To find the vandalized tree, start at the parking lot with the yellow gate and take a left, through the grassy field with the pile of logs to the right. Continue the trail until you get to what I call the staircase of roots. At first, the birch tree in question will be to the right, but to see the hateful message, you'll have to turn around so it is to your left.
Just want to give a shoutout to the whole parks department on the excellent work with the new south shore trail. Fantastic connection and lots of fun to run tonight. Thanks for all your hard work.
