About 2:30, 1/11/24, twelve cars were at Griffy Lake dam parking lot, with two more, both City vehicles, and I asked one of them "Do bladders and bowels stop working in winter?" At first, no comprehendre. I said, why is the rest room locked? I asked them to pass on my complaint, and the guys directed me to U-REPORT. After my run at 3:30, 18 cars were in the parking lot, none city vehicles. Griffy Lake sees more than 50 cars a day, perhaps more than 100 - where the rest room? This is plainly a sanitation issue. If there's no restroom, at least walk the trails with a pooper-scooper!

Hello! There are a number of very dead ash trees that have become a hazard on E. Covenanter close to the intersection with High Street. I am hoping that some of these can be prioritized. One in particular reaches over the street. They are very close to the intersection and the stop sign on High. It is only a matter of time before a large limb drops, and I would hate for that to happen when a pedestrian or car was present.
Thank you!

On the trail by Winslow Sports Park, adjacent to Highland, near Winslow Farm Rd. There's a short wooden bridge/boardwalk. We were biking on the trail as an alternative to riding on Highland Ave and my son crashed at the bridge. He's fine, but it wasn't fun and it could've been worse. The wood was wet and friction strips are missing/ineffective in areas. There's also a large bump from asphalt to wood, so his tires were bouncing anyway. On top of that, the bridge is located in a turn - you can't even go over it straight, you have to be turning. Turning a bike on wet wood is destined for failure. Please replace this bridge. Preferably a permanent solution, like a culvert covered by concrete, which will permanently resolve the friction and bump issue. Wood will just become an issue again. Thank you.

There is a lot of Poison Ivy growing on the sidewalk on Highland Ave at entrance to the Winslow Sports Complex walking path. It would be nice to have that go away.

There appears to be Johnson Grass growing along the Jackson Creek Trail, north of Rhorer Road. There is a small bit on the west side of the trail, just north of the farm. There is much more on the creek side of the trail across from the farm. Johnson Grass is very invasive.

Graffiti on rocks and under overpass. Between July 5 and July 8, 4 or 5 very large rocks on the edge of the creek have been sprayed with bright pink and blue paint: FUCK something, cross HMC, and other marks. This can be seen by starting at the small parking lot off Moore's Pike (East of Tennis Courts) on the paved Trail. The large rocks are about half way to the overpass on the creek bank at one of the prettiest spots on the creek. This is farther east than the small bridge that leads up to Southeast Park playground. The black and blue (?) painting on the underpass has been there for at least a week - in black: FUCK BPD among other things.
I think there is something new since 7/5 above the entrance to the underpass that includes MOE.
