Erosion to the north of the access stairs is causing rock to accumulate at the bottom of the trail. Not only will the original problem (the erosion) get worse if left unmitigated, but the rocks are catching skateboard wheels etc of children playing at the park and on the trail, creating an unnecessarily dangerous situation.
Please communicate more with parents regarding the status and schedule of the construction on the olcott park playground.
LARGE DOG PARK: While drainage has been added and temporary fencing put in, one section of fencing (the smaller one) does not encompass all of the water problem. The last time we brought our dog here she ran into the mud puddles (multiple times) and drank the water, which has previously made her sick. We will not go back until we hear it has been fixed completely.
My Father, Mother and two sisters are buried at Rosehill Cemetery. I went to visit their grave last week. The condition around the grave and the grave stone was terrible. It included very spotty grass and a hole that appeared to be a cave in. The headstones also had lichen growing on them. How do I have someone properly maintain the headstones and my family plot?
There is a young man riding a motorized dirt bike, at high rates of speed, on the trails in RCA park. The young man stated this is allowed. Is this ok? There are people walking these trails and noise from the dirt bike was extremely loud. Can you please email me and let me know if I should report this to the police if it happens again? Thank you.
Poison ivy growing on sidewalk leading up the path to the park from Highland. This was reported by my husband last year and we believe someone just cut it off it’s coming back again and needs to be treated.
Are there plans to turn back on the city park water fountains any time soon? Not having access to drinking water is a real hindrance for runners.
Almost run over by bikes while walking in Cascades
Hi. I already sent this in, but I didn’t know how this form worked. Anyway, I LOVE that the road in Cadcades is closed for pedestrians. I think it is GREAT and might revitalize that park. But, when I was walkng there yesterday, a pack of racing bicyclists (think Little 500 pratice) came screaming around a corner, directly into where we were walkng and suddenly they were screaming “people! people!” and whooshing around us. It really felt like they could have hit us and we could have been really hurt. They were going very fast and there were about 15 of them. The road in Cascades is not safe as a pedestrian walkway if that continues. It really worries me.
The homeless have set up an encampment, which I am sure the city is aware of. They are leaving trash, including needles, as well as disrupting people trying to enter into the Switchyard Park system. It seems incredible to me that after all the money pumped into this project that this is what the city wants people to encounter as they try to enter the park. Please have this situation resolved.
