There is a small pot hole developing on the BLine trail heading West on the right side moving West. It's just about half way between Fairview St. and Moravec Way. Dangerous for all community members! Small now, but soon to be larger as pot holes go!
The tennis courts have cracks running through them and there are large weeds growing inside the tennis court fences.
This summer the city installed speed cushions and bump-outs in Park Ridge East along Morningside Drive. Native trees and shrubs were planted as part of this greenway improvement project. We experienced what seems to have been vandalism last night—the dogwood tree that the city installed in the traffic bump-out in front of our house was snapped off. It doesn’t appear to be the type of damage a deer would have caused (photo attached) which would be the only other explanation. Will the city be replacing this tree?
ihitPolly Grimshaw Trail (east portion near tennis court) has numerous bumps that are hazards to bikes at speed (coming down the hill at night.

There is a unhoused group of people camping in RCA park at this location. They have tents and a stash of bikes. Two dogs tied up that bark at people along the trail and a campfire going as of the time of this report.
There is a large encampment with tents. They have two guard dogs tied who bark if anyone approaches. They have cleared all vegetation of plants. They have an open fire. It has not rained for some time. This is a dangerous situation and unfair to all who would like to use the space.
There is a nest of territorial bees in the hole in the parking marker pole The marker is second from farthest from gates into dog play areas. They stung and gave us chase across the lot before relenting so they are definitely a hazard in this spot.

This dogwood tree looks to be suffering from dogwood anthracnose. It needs some fungicide treatment if parks and rec wants it to survive.
