My wife took our kids to switchyard park today and went to the playground area where 3 men who she did not know seemed to follow her and the kids around various areas of the playground. They were hanging around close enough for her to feel unsafe and leave the park, which is very unlike her. My request would be for areas (particularly those used by younger children) to have an increase security presence so folks aren't feelin this way in our parks.

At switchyard park. Two different groups of people with stolen shopping carts from local retailers. I see this throughout town constantly and see law enforcement, parks department, and other city officials ignoring this problem. No individual own these shopping carts at any point and they cost retailers hundreds of dollars each. Law enforcement needs called anytime somebody sees an individual with a shopping cart outside of that business. Those carts need returned to their owners and those people need held accountable via the law. Please help rising cost of consumers goods!!!!

Last two Sundays Switchyard park especially the playground has been covered in trash. The best part is that there have been multiple parks employees standing around some "picking up trash" in the same small area for long periods of time. Not sure if this is a "not my job" situation but it really wouldn't take much time if employees showed motivation in cleaning up the park.

There is a large tree overhanging the street parking in front of 900 S Washington St with a very large dead section right over cars parked there. In the time I've lived across the street, two cars have been damaged by falling limbs from this tree, including one incident where a branch approx. 8" in diameter speared through someone's sunroof, totalling the car. The dead branch currently on the tree is roughly the same size and is starting to shed sticks and bark. I would like for it to be removed by the proper authorities before it falls on a car, or into the roadway or bike lane and hurts someone. Thank you!

A tree has fallen down, in the back corner, of the graveyard near the walking trail to 8th Street. An additional tree next to it is leaning at about a 60 degree angle causing a potential hazardous situation if it falls.

The eastern-most tree on the tree plot in front of my house is dead. The western-most tree on the tree plot(the tree next to the driveway) has many dead branches, and I fear the whole tree may be dying. Can at least the dead tree be removed? It would be good if the dead branches on the other tree could also be cut down. Thank you, Nancy Boerner
