Several potholes at the entrance to the RCA Park need patched. Several are quite large.

As a frequent pickleball player at RCA park, I notice how much the parking lot is need of repairs and fresh blacktop.
This is the vehicle without a license plate that drove back by the old shelter house at RCA park and that drove on the paved path and grass and exited by removing a wood fence rail.
Tons of knot weed in the ditch that eventually feeds into Windslow Woods

In front of Hopscotch along the B-Line Trail at Morton and Dodds. The 4th and 5th bike rack posts down from the north side of the rack are very loose. The 4th one seems like it could be lifted out of the ground. It would be nice and more secure if these could be fixed. The entire rack should be assessed too.
I went to the Parks and Rec website pages to find where all the parks are in the City. I found it in the program guide, but it would be nice if this were online and interactive (when I mouse over a location, I'm provided with descriptive info about the place and its amenities). Is this in the works? Also - there is a site called "Millenium Park" on Adams Street across from one of the Bloom Apartment complexes. They have doggie bags and some trashcans for full doggie bags, but the trashcans are always overflowing. Just wondering who owns and caretakes this park - I'm not seeing it among the parks that the City owns and cares for.
Hello, I have a question about the city's pesticide program. I was wondering if fireflies have been taken into account, including how firefly hang out in grasses and, especially, how firefly larvae eat various insects and other creatures that might have ingested pesticides. Since fireflies are diminishing throughout the world for various reasons that seem to be mostly unknown (besides the obvious like habitat loss), pesticide use and light pollution are two theories for why based on current research. The pesticide-use theory links it to a slow diminishment, so still having fireflies doesn't mean pesticide use isn't an issue. I am grateful for the fireflies we have in our area, and this question has been on my mind for a while, so I wanted to check in and see what information you have. I appreciate your time. Thank you, Karisha Kirk
The southwest half of court(closest to the school)has a very deep crevice. One of our ladies that play there often( three x a week) almost fell. She had had two hip replacements. It is a hazard for all that play. Other courts happened to be full.
