In the fall we had a Bradford Pear tree removed from the easement in front of our house as it was falling apart. They left a lot of mulch in the area, and we were told a tree would get planted there. To date, no tree or reseeding has been placed. Looking for further instruction to what we need to or can do as far as replanting.

The six tall black steel porch swings located in Switchyard Park need to have the pivots lubricated as they are making terrible noises when they're used to swing on.

low-hanging tree branch (broken?), buses have been hitting it; may not be much of a problem as a few days ago.

There is a "Silver Maple" with a site ID of 45202 (per https://bloomingtonin.treekeepersoftware.com/) that is currently dead/dying on my property. I am concerned that the tree may break during a storm and either cause a road block or may injure someone. I am reaching out to see if the city will remove this tree.

There are exposed wires in the ground inside the large dog pen at the Switchyard dog park . There are two wire protection covers side by side on the west edge of the pen in the flat. One of them appears to have been damaged by a mower. There were small chunks of the plastic cap all around the area. It might be wise to fix this so that it will cooperate with future mowing.
Best,

On the trail that connects Olcott Park with the Sherwood Oaks Park and the Goat Farm, the lights along the trail stay on all day. In the past, they would turn off when it was bright and sunny out, but not any more. This has been occurring for the last few weeks. It seems like a waste of energy. Thanks!

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.)
