I've recently noticed the Rail Trail between Country Club Drive and Gordon Pike has sections of large gravel (see attached photo).
I appreciate that maintenance is being done, assuming the City is responsible for this work. But, I am concerned because this large gravel is inconsistent with the existing surface for the trail.
As a bike commuter and runner on this section of the trail, I was disappointed to see large gravel appear on the surface. The Rail Trail is a great surface to run and walk on and commute on. These patches of large gravel pieces diminish it's utility and enjoyment.
Are there plans to use large gravel more often on the trail? I request that the smaller, packed surface be maintained.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you about the maintenance of the trail. Have a great day.

Hello -- where the parking lot and sidewalk end and the Rail Trail begins (at the trailhead on Country Club Drive), there is a growing issue. The height difference between the trail and the sidewalk is becoming a real trip hazard for pedestrians, an accessibility issue for others, and a flat tire waiting to happen for cyclists.
Is there a way to get this fixed up a bit? But please, please, do NOT use giant gravel. The parts of the Rail Trail that were patched with giant gravel are a disaster. Leave the bump instead of using big gravel if that is the only set of options.

This is why we can't have nice things . . . Why is this big gravel on the Rail Trail? The nice, even, soft surface of the trail has something like 3 or 4 sections where this big gravel was tossed on the trail and now it is a real issue. The big gravel is unstable for runners and walkers. The big gravel hurts the pads of dogs. And, the big gravel is a disaster to ride a bicycle across on a commute into downtown. This needs to be repaired with the big gravel gone and smaller gravel to match the existing trail surface used. You wouldn't patch a section of the B-Line with wood planks, so why mess up the rail trail like this?

This photo was taken to exaggerate the issue just a bit by the perspective, but this is an issue. The parking lot on Country Club at the B-Line Trail is getting gnarly with bushes. Is it possible to trip this back?

I first reported this May 20, 2019. I received notice July 15th that it had been taken care of. I took this photo today. There is still a large pile of trash along the trail at Griffy that runs from Lanam Road to Griffy Creek. It includes 2 tires, LOTS of broken glass, and lots of sharp rusted pieces of metal. It is about 1/3 or 1/2 of a mile down the trail from Lanam Road. There is a downed tree and log between the road and trash pile that might need to be cut if a wheeled device is used to remove the trash. My original ticket in May was 168600. Other trees blocking the trail which I reported earlier (ticket 168601) have been removed and I thank you!

This is a loosestrife. It is highly invasive and I found it growing between the parking lot and the small stream that flows into Jackson Creek, which means that it can spread downstream along the creek.

Subject: Urgent: Request for Removal of Dead Trees on Public Land
Dear Madam/Sir,
I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue regarding our property at 3020 S Stratford Dr. The southern and eastern perimeters are populated with numerous dead trees, on public land. We have reported this matter to the Urban Forester in August, and they know about the issue, we are on their list. We understand that they have immense workload, however, the urgency of our situation has increased as with each passing windy day, large branches have begun falling into our yard, posing a risk to both property and safety. We fear that the upcoming sub-freezing temperatures and spring tornado season will exacerbate the situation. Therefore, we kindly request that you prioritize the removal of the hazardous trees at your earliest convenience. (We have also started felling hazardous trees within our land.)
Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your understanding and assistance.
Kind regards,
Gergo Szanda (765-508-9679, szgergo82@gmail.com)
