Where did all the shade go? Happy Summer Solstice! We thought Townies needed more sun in their lives so we removed all the shade sails at all the parks and ball fields. Thanks for looking out for us parks!
Just wondering if there is actually an Erin Hatch that works for the city?? I noticed including my ureports that were assigned to her way over a month ago about city tree trimming has not been addressed. So I'm not sure if she doesn't work for the city and it's not being assigned to no one. Or someone isn't really doing their job. Thanks for your time.
Seminary parks is full of trash, abandoned personal possessions, and stolen shopping carts from local merchants. This area has progressively went downhill in the last months. Needs cleaned up and monitored mutiple times daily. People using park are breaking multiple laws every day. (Drug and alcohol use in public, public nuisance, fighting, littering, stolen property, camping and staying there after hrs, etc)
Around 8:45 this morning, I encountered a strong stench coming from the woods to the west of the B-Line Trail in Switchyard park between lampposts 20 and 21. It smelled like rotting flesh. Could someone please investigate to make sure it isn't a hazard or concern?
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!
Many of the newly planted oak trees are showing signs of stress as the leaves are yellowing and browning. Will the City water these trees during this dry time? Several people are trying to water them with buckets, but it seems that there would be a better way to keep these trees healthy after investing so much in planting them.
The tree branches on the trail between Olcott Park and the Goat Farm need to be cut back. This is mostly needed at the beginning of the trail on the trailhead on the Olcott Park side. Thank You for your consideration!
The drainage issue near the water station is getting swampy in the big dog area. Removal of the plastic pools may help until the standing water can be renediated.
All the new trees planted in the bike lane median on West 7th between Morton and College are dead.
The trail surface on the old railroad bridge over 3rd St got tagged with orange spray paint last night. Most of the tagging is words but on the south end of the bridge we now a community art work that is 4-5 foot long male phallic image. Seriously as I biked by there this morning a mother and daughter were walking their dog north on the trail and were just about to encounter the "artwork".
