The grass and weeds have not been cut for several weeks. The trash has been bagged up but not removed. I picked up trash from the playground. some of it had been there for some time. Please pay more attention to this small neighborhood park!
On May 4th, 2022 I was taking a walk through the park when I noticed a chemical-type smell lingering near the stream that flows east to west through the middle of the park. When I went to investigate the source of the smell, I was alarmed by an opaque milky white substance contaminating the flowing stream. It also seemed to be the source of the smell. I followed the contamination upstream and traced it to a white PVC pipe that appears to originate from the Bryan Park pool facility. There was also particulate settling in the water where the pipe drains into the stream. Immediately after that I walked to the pool facility and confirmed with two city workers that the pool does indeed drain directly into the park's stream. They also told me that they were directed to power-wash the pool area and the resulting material was discharging directly into the stream via the PVC drainage pipe. Further, other city workers have confirmed with me that the pool water itself gets drained into the stream annually. I am not sure if this is legal - and if it is legal, it is certainly not environmentally sound. The material that is draining into the stream is very likely environmentally harmful.
I work in the Hunter school building across from the old hospital demolition. I am concerned about the dust coming from the site as they tear it down. I am curious if the City can do a check into the safety of us breathing the dust when walking in and out of the building.
2225 S High Street hasn't been mowed all year.
A small hole has developed adjacent to a wider area in the pavement that street crews paved over after a water main break several years ago.
A street light is out and requires replacing. It has several branches from an evergreen tree obstructing the pole and lamp as well.
This intersection drainage project has been weeks ongoing. Now we are left with an absolutely horrid street. The utility cuts were filled with gravel but have rutted out to be almost impassable. This is addition to the pot holes and drains that are unfinished.
The street light over the alley is out! :)
One of the new street trees planted by the city after the completion of the new north extension of the Jackson Creek Trail last fall has unfortunately died, and should be replaced. It is sending up suckers at the base, but I don’t think a large shrubby plant is what was intended. Tree is near the property line of the house on High and the house on the corner facing Wimbleton. Thank you!
There is pothole on Dodds between Morton and College.
