There have been a number of people sleeping in Bryan Park on the Woodlawn side by the shelter. It started with one hanging out in the shelter then has progressed to several in the field next to it. It is disturbing because of families using the shelter could be endangered by what we all know these people leave behind. A neighbor asked me to include his observation that unhoused frequent the shelter next to the baby playground, and the smell of pot is coming into the playground. I don’t know what is different, but the park is not as well mowed as in the past. It was always beautiful. I chalk it up to all of the rain. Just an observation. It is our favorite place in the world and we care about it. We go every day. Thank you for listening

I’m a frequent user of Switchyard park, but I’m very unhappy with the state of the parking lot on Walnut St. I’ve seen city employees out working in the area several times, but it’s still unsightly. The beds are sparse and bare-looking. It appears as though the working crew has mulched around Johnson grass - an invasive grass - and tall fescue. Does the landscaper not know the difference between invasive and ornamental grasses? Not only this, the hills south of the stage area around the playground and dog park are filled with thistles, Johnson grass, and other invasives. Is the city’s flagship park not worth landscaping maintenance? Considering that this is the city’s most beloved, brag-worthy park and it still looks awful, I’m hesitant to visit other parks.

Pitbull (gray and white, approx 1 y.o) being walked by children and is not on leash. They have no control of the dog. At least 2 instances when dog has attacked other dogs on walk, or running up to people that are outside in their yards/property. The parents walk the dog on a leash and with a muzzle sometimes, but the children are outside with the dog in the neighborhood everyday with no leash. It's only a matter of time until someone is getting hurt.

At corner of S Morton and W Howe streets the shrubbery growth continues up to the street curb - which both blocks the sidewalk access along Morton as well as creates a blind spot for any traffic turning from Howe onto Morton. I was nearly hit by a FedEx truck yesterday because of the blocked view while at that corner.
