Is there a city ordinance about setting up tents in public parks? Seminary Square park starts to look more and more like a camping.

The trail lights on posts 137 and 138 are both out just to the east of Moravec. The second one to the west of Moravec is also very dim, probably 141.
The city removed a tree from the verge/berm in front of my house this past summer, and they said another tree would be planted in its place. However, no tree has been planted. I was wondering if the city could plant a tree in the spot this spring. Thanks.
I contacted the city forester twice and left a voicemail but I didn’t receive any response. This tree is in the city’s right of way and is declining. I was hoping to get advice to save it before it becomes a safety hazard. There are many young children in our neighborhood.
Hi, the street tree (Ash) in front of 3111 S Mulberry Lane (Northwest of the driveway) has many low hanging branches that especially when the leaves come back in the spring, which bring the branches even lower, they interfere with pedestrian passing on the side walk or delivery trucks/SUVs passing on the street, potentially also interfere with SUVs driving into/out of the driveway. Can you send a crew to prune the low hanging branches off so that it is safer for trucks/pedestrians to pass? As a preventative measure before the leaves come back in the spring which will bring the branches even lower. From the treekeepersoftware.com, I found the site ID is 36727 Thanks!
In the woods behind my home there is a tree which is cracked, and ready to fall. Next to the tree is a gazebo which the tree will fall on. The woods is city property, so not sure what needs to be done. Thanks!
Hello, There is a dead tree in the median located at the Winston Street entrance to Hyde Park. The tree recently lost a dead limb and it blocked the intersection. My neighbor and I cleaned it up but there will be more dead branches to come. The tree is next to the street light that was recently repaired (thank you!). Can the city cut this tree down? Also, the sweet gum trees in front of the houses on the north side of Winston in the 2800 block have many limbs that overhang the street and often make contact with delivery trucks. Can those be trimmed as well? Thank you!
There is a bradford pear tree (an invasive species) on the city median with the street. I'd like to have this scheduled for removal
Our side yard is a conservancy easement outside of the fence line. It seems to be dying based on grape vines taking over. We were told we are not allowed to cut down trees in this area, is this something the city would help with and if there are dead trees, would they be replaced?
On 6-15-23 between the hours of 12:00 to 1:00 pm. Myself and 2 others had just climbed up the stairs after going down to look at the water falls. We heard a loud car enter the parking area and shut off. however, no one got out of the vehicle as if they intended to hike. I was concerned about my own car because it was the only other one there. My friends and I decided to walk back up to the parking lot to make sure my was not the target of being broken in to or the catalytic converter being stolen. As we approached the parking area, we observed the other car had backed into the parking spot next to my car. We could see the driver standing beside they driver's door. We made noise to let the m know we were approaching, the person standing immediately sat back down in their seat. We saw an adult male slumped over in the passenger seat, totally passed out and not moving or awake. The driver and person who had been standing was an adult women, she seemed oblivious and unaware too. The car was and older car, a big vehicle like police use to drive, possibly a Crown Victoria . The back seat was piled high with clothes,, sleeping bags, blankets, etc. Indicating to me homelessness. The car was painted gray with a large area of the front end painted black. The back window on the drivers side had a star in it, brown like a sheriff's star. It was obvious that they were not intending to hike. We intended to continue our hike but decided the situation seemed unsafe and sketchy. I would have liked to have gotten a photo of their license plate, but as I said they were backed into the spot. As that is a pretty isolated area without others around, I thought I should at least list my concern. It is my hope that the area is patrolled throughout the day. The Leonard Springs Nature Preserve is a beautiful area that those of us who appreciate nature and the beauty of this area should be able to access without risk or fear of something happening to our vehicles or our person. My friends and I are experienced hikers and do so on a regular basis. Unfortunately, this is the first time we have felt such an uncomfortable and sketchy situation. I am certain I would recognize that vehicle again My phone Number is 824-6527 if you need to call me. I felt it was important to list my concern.
