Hello, We walked the B-line trail today as we do 1-2 times a week. Today the homeless population presence was overwhelmingly obvious, and frankly, prohibits use of benches, etc. and/or feeling safe. I took 4 pictures but seem unable to load them on this site without losing everything. Someone was actually drying their laundry on one of the benches. There was an over-flowing and abandoned shopping cart along the trail. Not far from that was a "tented" picnic table with two people sleeping and their unsightly over-loaded grocery carts of personal belongings...we are used to homeless people on this trail. We have called the police a few times because we weren't sure the people were alive. We have never seen so many over-loaded shopping carts and drying laundry before. To be honest, we love this trail (going north not far from Kroger) but we don't always feel safe on it. I understand and can tolerate a certain amount of mental illness but not harrassment. I do not claim to know a solution to homelessness, but it seems to me that parking shopping carts, drying laundry and taking over benches that are for people walking the trails should be monitored and at least an attempt made to clear it up. If you let me know an easy way to send you my pictures, I will but including an image here did not work for me. This is the worst I have ever seen this trail look (and feel) in the ten years we have lived here. Thank you for your attention. Eileen Caird

Just a few things that the city seems to be ignoring: why is there still a sign at Building Trades Park pointing to the now non-existent emergency department on Second Street? Why do Transit buses still post notices in August informing passengers that Sunday rides will be free in the spring of 2023? Why does transit have a display case downtown with the heading “Memories” that contains not traditional memories but legal notices? And why does the mayor still include a link for donations to his mayoral campaign in his monthly Let’s Keep in Touch emails?

Good morning, The 4th Street Art Festival will be Labor Day weekend. Our artist will be setting up 15 foot tall tents along the curb of 4th Street between Lincoln St and Dunn St. There are some trees that will need their lower branches trimmed so that they are not damaged by the tents and vice versa. The following trees that could pose a problem are located at the following locations: Tree between 405 and 407 E 4th St (North side of Street) Tree across from 424 E 4th St (North side of street) Tree across from 430 E 4th St (North side of street) Ivy covered Tree at 424 E 4th St (South side of street) Tree at 402 E 4th St (South side of street) Thank you for your help.

The north- facing stop sign on High Street at Southdowns is almost obscured by bushes. I was nearly T-bones by a car flying down High St. because the sign is almost invisible.
