Encampment of homeless people has started cutting down large live trees on the east side of the beeline Trail parallel to the retention pond.
Please trim the branches that overhang the short bike path that runs between South Rogers Street and South Madison Street on what would have been West Ralston Street (If it were a street and not a bike path). Thank you.
A tent city has developed on the B-Line Trail, south of W Country Club Dr and north of W Gordon Pike. They are cutting down foliage for more tents and dogs are running loose.
Homeless trying to break into house and causing disturbance along b-line trail, trespassing on private residences and public property
Homeless people are choosing to live/ sleep in the b- line parking lot.
The multi-use path along Country Club on the north side of the street between Rogers Street and Rockport Road needs some maintenance. There are tree branches and bushes obstructing the path. The surface is also dirty with debris, mud, and gravel.
The two blocks of S. Banta Ave that connect Tapp Road to Ralston and West Graham have no sidewalks, and many children live in the vicinity (including my own). The Broadview Learning Center's playground a few blocks away is a major draw for the neighborhood children, both in houses and in apartment buildings up and down this road. However, the lack of traffic control on Ralston and the ability to cut up Banta Avenue from Tapp Road during times of the day when the Tapp/Rockport intersection becomes congested due to commuter and other traffic (especially those using it as a means to connect to 37), means that cars race up Banta to speed around the corner and shortcut to Rockport. Since the neighborhood children have no sidewalks here, or on Graham (which is a major route to the only park that is easily accessible), it is incredibly hazardous. If the city won't oversee the creation of sidewalks on these busy "shortcut" roads, could some signs and speed bumps be put in? Particularly on Banta, which is built on a hill up one side and down the other, irresponsible car traffic makes all the parents (and neighbors) frightened for our children. Additionally, the triangular corner of Rockport and Graham and Banta has no shoulder trimmed back from the large pine trees there, which not only makes it difficult to see around, but more hazardous for the many bus patrons that get off at the Countryview Apartments, and are forced to cut through the private property on the opposite side of the street, rather than risk being hit by a motorist that can't see them around that corner.
