Where the Southeast park/renwick trail runs parallel to hillside/east Moores there needs to be some kind of barrier between the road and the pedestrians. The speed limit is 30 but the average speed of traffic is 45-50
While walking late last night (circa midnight) along the asphalt path around the parks, I noticed that someone had set up a small tent in the woods (last night, the tent was illuminated from within by the person's flashlight). It was just a few yards off the lower end of the path that cuts through the woods between Olcott and the Goat Farm areas, where the path bends (tent was off the outside of the corner) and comes into view of the small bridge over Jackson Creek. On previous nights, I've smelled a latrine odor in the same general area, so I doubt this was the first occurrence. Given that this is very near a popular wading stream and not far from the playground, I decided to report it.
The electrical outlets at the large shelter do not work. Trying to reset the breakers in the box also did not restore the electricity to the two outlets.
I reported power lines/wires within reach of the sidewalk off Rogers very close to the front of the entrance to switchyard park over a month ago. This seems like a very serious issue. Why hasn’t anything been done about this? Has been like this for 6+ months! It’s sad to think there are people working for the city that see this as anything other than an emergency situation.
There appears to be a termite infestation at the Park Ridge park on Longview Avenue.
Power outlet has faulted on light post just inside skatepark boundary next to limestone bench.
Power lines have been hanging down within reach on the sidewalk in front of switchyard park entrance off Rogers st for several months. Very dangerous situation!
Along the trail next to the train tracks between N Pete Ellis Dr. and State Rd 46 the bushes need to be cut back. In some places it's impossible for bikers and pedestrians to see what's ahead or for bikers to safely pass pedestrians.
Switchyard Dog Park, Large Dog enclosure Please erect a barrier promptly, around the collection of mud + water about 25 feet from the entrance. During my 1st visit with my dog on Saturday, 9-11, he noticed the area by following another dog into the mud. Note there is no hose + water source to rinse dogs, unlike Ferguson Dog Pk, which has this resource during non-winter months. In addition to causing damage to the interior of my car, the muddy substrate was not easily cleaned. A rash has developed in several areas of my dog's skin. Water alone did not remedy the muck; standard dog shampoo fared a bit better. I diluted Dawn dish detergent, which worked best but likely added to the discomfort of the rash. We have a veterinary appt on Monday to address. Again, please erect a barrier around this area and also plan for long-term, engineering solution. Thank you. (I also suggest the installation of water hoses and will submit that separately.)
Water fountain is not shutting off properly. It runs a little constantly.
