The homeless camp along the Rail Trail north of Gordon Pike is burning trash on the evening of June 18, 2024, after 10pm. The smell is very strong in the surrounding area. The City needs to put a stop to this activity immediately as it is occurring illegally on City owned property. The city is allowing the homeless to openly burn on City property, which is ridiculous.
This was reported as a fire hazard, and also being reported as a trails issue to keep the parks dept updated on the activity along the Rail Trail. Large fire at 10:10pm on June 19, 2024, in the woods along the Rail Trail. The homeless camp on City-owned property (according to the GIS) is burning a large, open fire this evening. This is on the Rail Trail north of Gordon Pike maybe 0.3 to 0.4 miles, east and south of the Terrace Drive area. This is a significant hazard to the City property and neighboring private property. The fires need to stop and the camps need to be cleared out immediately before the homeless burn acres of woods, fences, sheds, houses, trailers -- anything in the vicinity could go up in flames soon.
Dead street tree in ROW along the south side of 7th Street half-way between Grant and Dunn, and immediately west of the former entrance to the Poplars. Attached image from Google maps is from July 2023, healthy and perhaps newly planted.
The oak tree in the front of our house has dead branches throughout the tree that we would like to have pruned. Also, could the health of the tree be checked as well? There seems to be more dead branches than there have been in previous years. Thank you.
Tree in front now has had 3 major limbs removed due to storms. Could the tree be completely removed? It is one of the invasive species found all over town, all of which should be cut down. (Bradford Pear)
A tree has fallen onto my property and fence. The are several other branches about to come down. These trees are located in the easement behind my house.
Tree at Sare & Mill Stone Way damaged by contractor work and city work over several months. Looks like all the work is finally done. Tree needs to be taken care of please, i.e., proper trimming of broken and dangling branches, some are cracked making the tree vulnerable to critters and disease. Also, at least one branch is dangling in the line of traffic, it is not safe.
Both ends of this bridge going over Griffy Creek have noticeable 'bumps' which might be dangerous for walkers, runners and cyclists. Could you put some asphalt on this to smooth the transition from trail to bridge?
Street tree with broken branch hanging over road. Also there's a street tree with a broken branch in front of 807 Callery Drive
Please communicate more with parents regarding the status and schedule of the construction on the olcott park playground.
