We suspect the folks who mowed the Park Ridge Park on Friday blew large quantities of unmulched leaves and pine needles into our yard, in particular to a small stripe of yard. Given that 1) the city has already picked up leaves in our neighborhood and 2) we are trying to mulch (per the city's request) but given the large amount of leaves deposited in such a small area, we do not have a good solution for getting rid of these leaves. A a minimum, we request that Parks and Rec ensure that the mowing contractors do not blow leaves and pine needles out of the park (and ideally trail) into our yard.

The Griffy Dam parking area could still use a trash can and/or dog waste station. Lots of folks fish and walk their dogs here, but there is no place to dispose of old fishing line and dog waste. Last time I mentioned this they said they would reassess once the new trail was completed. I know it’s a bit out of the way but maybe the crew that maintains Ferguson dog park could swing by and collect it once a week? Thanks!

The chain on one of the swings on the playground had broken. A new chain would be oh so nice. Thank you!

The parking at Griffy Lake is insufficient for the current demand and the situation will likely only get worse in the future with the much appreciated upgrades to the trails and fishing pier. When the overflow parking is blocked off cars get backed up out to the street waiting for people to leave to take their spot. This creates a huge safety hazard for pedestrians and drivers alike. Could we look into some sort of solution to help reduce this congestion? Perhaps a carpool lot further away? A bus stop? Or even a way to walk from campus safely rather than it being a car required location. If none of those work, could we at least please have the overflow parking always open?

We witnessed a gentlemen badly scratch/dent his car today on the concrete block at the overflow entrance while trying to get out of his parking space. There were vehicles parking other vehicles in, vehicles parked along the roadside, and vehicles parked at the exit. In addition all day there seemed to be a line of vehicles waiting to park as well. Might I suggest that there be a shuttle bus from campus to here on the weekends when it is nice, or perhaps a marked trail that is walkable from parking lots further away (the other parking lot was overfull as well), or perhaps have a staff person on site to keep people/property from being damaged due to trying to maneuver in the parking lot.

There is an individual who at least on a weekly basis, tosses many empty beer cans (up to a half case at a time) into the cleared area of Griffey that is on Dunn, across from the group home. The Blue Ridge Bushwackers have removed the honeysuckle from this area and work to keep it clear. We regularly pick up this person's litter. Is there anything that can be done to discourage this behavior? Could we put up a fake camera and/or sign warning them? What suggestions would you have for us? Thank you! Jeannie Galbreath
