The pickle pole boxes combination lock won't open all the way. It looks like people have been trying to break into the box because the lids kind of off and it'll only open 3/4 of the way but you can't get to the nets.

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

On the Jackson Creek Trail between the roundabout at Sherwood Oaks Park and the Rhorer Road bridge, it would be nice to have some creek access points (minor trail spurs cut through), similar to those existing near the Sherwood Oaks Park.

I'm writing with a complaint/suggestion about the mowing of Bryan Park. I am retired and live on South Manor Road. My backyard faces Bryan Park across the street. On days when the weather is nice, I enjoy sitting on my deck in the morning, drinking coffee and bird watching, usually between 7:30 and 8:30. Many (most) mornings the gentleman who mows the park is on his riding mower and mowing along either side of Woodlawn, starting as early as 7am. Yesterday it was 7:30, this morning it was 7:45. It's loud and disruptive; this morning the cat panicked and ran inside! Is it necessary to mow near houses so early in the morning? Could it be suggested to the gentleman to mow the interior of the park that early? Thanks for considering,
Rich

On the B-Line just north of 6th Street, on Saturday mornings there are a few people who block the B-Line Trail during farmers market hours. They set up this obtrusive wooden platform right on the trail. It causes a lot of congestion for trail users in a very busy part of the B-Line. Can someone enforce rules that prevent people from blocking the trail like this? They can setup their board in the grass or somewhere else that is not impeding safe pedestrian and bicycle use of the pedestrian and bicycle trail (which is not a stage for their private and individual use). Maybe they can show up early enough to sign up to busk in the Farmers Market rather than clogging up the flow of people? Check it out. Saturday mornings, B-Line and 6th. Around 10am you will see the full problem they are causing.

The homwless are back dragging in matress and blankets and much miscellaneous putting an enclosure, then leaving and of course leaving piles of trash Much of th trash looks like items given them so they can live on the streets then they abandon it all and get more items to live elsewhere and leave trash there again. When will this giving to them stop so they have to be in shelters.
