Hi, i just found another used needle in the playground at Rev. Butler Park. This is in addition to one i found under a picnic shelter earlier this earlier. The City absolutely must provide sharps containers at every park! I know or at least two other community members who have shared their concerns with the City about needles at Butler Park. The first child that steps on a dirty needle and sues the city will be so unfortunate. Posting sharps containers in public places is a totally accepted best practice to promote the safety of both the general public, and the needle using community. Please.

Re: Switchyard park. Some "cross traffic does not stop" signs where appropriate near the Rogers entrance might be considered. Maybe some "buzz strips" to slow incoming traffic off Rogers and give an aural alert to bikers/peds/distracted drivers.

Hi, Regarding Park Ridge Park, as the fall leaf season approaches, I want to bring up leave removal at the park. It does seem as though some bare ground did develop at the park this season and I would say that it is due in part to the lack of leaf removal. Neighborhood residents might be able to aid in getting our very shaded and "treed" park cleared. To make the most of that, we would appreciate it if Parks and Rec or some other city agency could help out with coordinating with the leave removal crews to ensure that if we do gather the leaves that they will be picked up. Is that something that the department can help out with? Thanks as always, John

I absolutely love RCA Park and often go with my two dogs to walk the trails and play in the open field. Overall I feel safe, but I have noticed homeless men walking the trails behind the school and walking into the woods (presumably to do drugs or to find their camps which are obvious from some trails). Although not completely comfortable with this, I understand it is still a public park. My main concern is the human feces I have encountered at the park. Once, about a month ago, right on one of the paved trails, and again today (Sept 24) on the concrete area of the public restrooms. This is a serious safety matter that needs to be brought to your attention. Thank you for all the hard work your department does!
