On the basketball courts, one of the hoops is missing the crank to raise/lower the basket. I've seen individuals manually raise and lower it by using a similar piece to the cranks, but having the crank replaced greatly enhances the usability of the courts.
There are two Ash trees, both dead, with branches falling, may soon fall over on my lot. Could I get these taken out?
Broken locks on restroom door
Grass clippings! Hazard! The southbound lane of Woodlawn along Bryan Park has grass clippings all over the right 1/3 or 1/4 of it. The park got mowed and a city employee left grass in the road. This is a danger to all the cyclists, motorcyclists, and scooter riders. Can we get that mower operator a leaf blower? This happens routinely around the park and on Sheridan and Southdowns in the multi use paths. Very careless and dangerous for the city to leave debris in the road.
I work for The Villages Healthy Families program. We are a non-profit child welfare agency. I am looking for a fee waiver for a room rental at Twin Lakes to host a free, public class on infant safe sleep education. The class takes between 30-45 minutes and attendees receive a pack n’ play at the conclusion. There are no income requirements for the class. Would the Parks Department be able to waive the fee for this class? I offer it throughout the county to make it more accessible for those with transportation barriers. Thanks for the consideration!
The button for the dog water fountain is sticky. I've walked past it a couple times and water is trickling out of the lower bowl. If I push the button a couple times it gets unstuck and the water stops.
Dead tree hanging over road, seems likely to fall at any time.
Large Ash tree in tree plot needs lower limbs removed. Also the New Horizon Elm seems to have several dead upper branches. Since this tree is only 8 years old, I’m concerned it’s diseased or stressed. If you would take a look and let me know what you can do for it. Thank you!
The large tree at the street is way dead and a potentially very dangerous hazard to cars and people. I’m not the resident here but a neighbor (1900 E. Hunter Ave.) Thank you
Pictured above: the view from a bicycle seat as cyclist (on a bike path/sidewalk) approaches the circular loop at the southern end of the Grimes/Patterson parking lot. (Note: the problem I want to highlight is similar when cyclist is heading south towards that "roundabout" from the north on the bike/ped path). And the problem is this: a cyclist can easily not notice until too late that there is no curb cut to allow easy entry to the loop. YES, for safety reasons, the city probably decided NOT to be a curb cut there. Fine. BUT PLEASE, consider a very visible barrier so cyclists can see in advance that they should not proceed forward OR, at least, put some bright yellow paint or striped yellow-black paint on the curb as an attention grabber. Needed on both the south side of the loop and the north side. THANKS!
