There is a green/gray tent up towards the hill on the northwest interior of the Winslow Woods Nature park. Up a steep hill after crossing the small "river", halfway through the loop where the trail splits in 2. Smelled smoke nearby and noticed it the past few times I been up there.
Had an arborist out on another street tree (Japanese Cherry) that needs pruned badly and some dead removed, but is otherwise healthy. While there he looked at a Red Sunset Maple that I thought had a lot of dead in it, just in the last year. His appraisal was that it needed removed and since a street tree he suggested I give the city a call.
Hi, I don’t know if the parks department or city cares much about it but there are large patches of Japanese knotweed growing along the trail. It's a tricky plant to get rid of and requires strategic doses of herbicide at specific stages in it's life cycle and for multiple years. Y'all might already be aware and I've chatted with a lady working on other invasives along the trail. I live in Broadview 2nd and have been keeping my eyes out for it to keep it out of the neighborhood. I just wanted to bring it to someone's attention. The subreddit for invasive species seems to have the most up to date methods of attack and discussion I've found. Cutting it down only makes it angry and dig in/spread more. Feel free to call or text if you need any more information from me. Thanks Richard
My wife and I noticed Poison Hemlock right on the trail where b-line crosses Rogers by Baywood. Maybe about 4-5 plants. If our child had been walking she would have touched these. Can you guy drive the trail and get rid of them? Thanks for the great trail! Geoff
Someone has hacked your parks system and is sending phishing emails using your government email. I have attached a screenshot of an email I received from your .gov Please have your IT people look into this. It can potentially cause big issues for your constituents and others.
Strong smell of some sort of natural gas coming from the hotel. Made me a little dizzy. On the B-line between the hotel and Wonderlab.
The grass in northern part of Bryan park appears to be wet. I saw water coming out of the ground near the basketball court. There are puddles in some places and in most places the grass is just soaking wet. Since there is no active rain, I thought that amount of water is unuy. And the water coming out of the ground could indicate a water leak. I attached a picture of the hole I saw. There is water coming out of it. But I couldn't attach a video from it here.
When I try to pull out of the Walnut St. parking lot for switchyard park onto Walnut St. there are always big tow trucks blocking my view of traffic to the north and I think there is a big limestone sign maybe marking Switchyard Park itself blocking my view to the south, so that I have to pull out fully blocking the sidewalk to see if it is safe to turn onto Walnut. I think it might be necessary for some cars to even stick into the roadway a little before they can see traffic approaching, especially bikers on the sidewalk, which is sort of common between this lot and Miller Drive
The sidewalk on the northside of the Southeast Park tennis courts (along that area ) is full of mud and debris, and unusable at times. There is also a stack of tree limbs that need cleared in that area.
