The Clear Creek Trail is under attack by the local flora! Yes, that's right - the vegetation is taking over. The entire route of the trail, from Tapp Road to Church Lane, needs to be seriously trimmed back. The trees and brush are overtaking the trail. There are hazards from both a vertical and horizontal line of attack. In places the trail is narrowed by the overgrowth crowding out the trail. In other places, there are branches hanging down low that can take a rider off a bike. The entire length of the trail needs some trim work to cut back the overgrowth and low hanging branches and restore the trail to its full width. The trail would be much safer with this work completed.
52. That's how many vertical and/or horizontal obstructions I counted on the Clear Creek Trail from the Tapp Road trailhead to the Church Lane bridge. 52 points where tree limbs or overgrown bushes are in the way. Cyclists have to duck. Pedestrians have to weave. It's dangerous and makes sharing the trail tough. 52. Maybe you count differently. Even if it's half or a quarter, that's still 26 or 13 hazards. That's dangerous. This trail needs cleaned up to allow unfettered access and enjoyment.
This the foot bridge over the stream at the North end of the clear creek trail. This is on the east end of the bridge. The piece of metal my kid is pointing at should be over the big crack at her feet.
This was reported to me by a citizen: The little steps on the B-line near 1st & Morton. The tops of some of the steps are loose and wobbly.
Vegetation is growing into the street.
Broken glass, needles, and other trash at the SE corner of B Line
The city trees on our block(s)(in the Sweetbriar subdivision of Winslow Farms) have many dead branches that cover the street. We worry those dead branches will fall on a car.
The homeless camp that lives on the pickle ball courts are smoking and their stuff is over a large portion of the out of bounds section, along with their bikes. The pickle ball courts are for playing pickle ball, and I'm getting tired of having to navigate their stuff.
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.
