Because Kirkwood is closed traffic is backed up all down 6th St and Indiana. I spent 20 minutes trying to get from Indiana and 3rd St and 7th St. I work in the Poplars Building and park in the Poplars Garage and it took me 10 minutes to leave for an appointment this afternoon when there were only 2 cars ahead of me. Because of all of this traffic I was forced to take an extra 30 minutes at lunch and will have to leave 30 minutes early so I can be sure to pick up my daughter from daycare before they close. I don't have the PTO to spare and I am so frustrated. I didn't know the road would be closed until today when a co-worker mentioned it, other wise I would have had no idea. I am so angry and so frustrated that you closed this street, especially if it really was for a driverless bus test. Go test it somewhere else where you don't have high traffic! Indiana is always down to one lane.Please do not close the road tomorrow. This is going to cause accidents, not to mention the MASSIVE inconvenience. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm sure you're getting more than a few emails about this. -Holly

The people who drive cars in this town are typically rude and dismissive of common decency. They constantly speed, even on residential streets; they drive on sidewalks and bike lanes even when there are people present; they drive at night without lights on; they drive drunk; they *often* drive the wrong way on one-way streets; and if you make a comment to them about hazards they are creating they curse and/or gesture obscenely. Please please please ban them from the city. There was an accident recently where a driver hit a cyclist and drove away: https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/local/2023/07/18/police-seek-hit-and-run-driver-of-ford-150-that-struck-bicyclist/70422419007/. Does the City really want to be known as a place that encourages people to risk their lives when they walk or bicycle, and turn a blind eye when people are injured or killed? How many more accidents is it going to take for you to wake up and ban cars from our streets? Thank you.

I see that the Winslow trail around the baseball/softball fields is being upgraded. I've heard it will be widened and paved. Please be sure to put up a sign to remind bicyclists to yield to walkers--the sign you posted on the Jackson Creek Trail would be great. I walk this path 2 times a day. And lately too often bicyclists just plow down the trail expecting walkers to clear out of the way, even when they come upon a walker from behind.

There has been some construction on the trails near the Wesley Sports complex. I use the trail to commute to work by bike every day and noted its bad constitution - especially after heavy rain. I had hope for some improvements but the 'closed for construction' signs have been removed and while the trail is now wider it seems like the construction has been stopped half way. The trail is still very sandy / muddy and parts are very soft so that my bike sinks into the sandy surface which makes it very uncomfortable to rise and also somewhat unsafe. Is the construction already done or just paused?

Sign for Lanham Trailhead of GNP has been torn down. There is a pink survey stake so perhaps this is already known?

Wonderful, 1st walk down 9 mile creek. Questions are there nature walks to identify plants? Would it be possible to identify plants with a small sign similar to Mpls. Wild Flower Garden? Can we interest the Audobon Society to schedule events? Has a bird list been made? I heard a Pileated (sp) woodpecker today. I'm living at 9 mile senior Living… can I hep in some way?
