From the bridge of Tapp Road, the trail is overgrow along the creek/ parking lot narrowed.
Near the Clear Creek Trail parking lot off of Tapp Rd there are two large pieces of limestone stacked just north of the bike rack. Just under the far right bottom corner of the lower rock is an entry point for a yellowjacket nest. There was a lot of activity with the afternoon sun, with at least 15-20 yellowjackets seen flying around and entering the opening.
Compared to the Clear Creek Trail south segment the northern 2 sections are cluttered with debris. Please sweep and clear fallen tree trunks and leaves on the trail from Tapp Rd Church lane. See pic. Thank you.
The trees planted along the new multiuse trail need water! The blue beech are wilting.
There is a watering station for humans and dogs located on the Clear Creek Trail, 1/6th of a mile south of the Gordon Pike overpass. The button for the dog watering part of the station is sticking, resulting in the water continually running. This was observed Thursday, September 11 at 8:40 a.m.
Tree branch across the Clear Creek Trail about 1/3 mile south of Rockport.
At the Winslow Woods Nature Trail, up on the hill as you're heading to the streets behind the trail (E. Azelea Ln and S. Bent Tree Dr.), there is a yellow jacket nest buried to one side in a thicket. I have noticed them the past couple days I've been out there getting more aggressive and expanding their territory. I was also stung by one before I knew they were there. They seem to be increasing in number, so wanted to let you know to warn anyone who might be allergic, or if children/pets are out there. Thanks!
The connector trail between the B-Line and Butler Park could use some lighting such as lampposts and/or sconces on the bridge. It would cost some money but it should be possible to tap power from the utility post and light at the end of the trail in Butler Park itself. It gets very dark there at night and some more lighting could go a long ways towards improving safety in this heavily trafficked area.
Large pile of trash behind tree south of the B-Line near (former) lamppost 157, between the trail and the railroad and west of the railroad bridge. Most likely an abandoned cache of items pulled from the nearby Opportunity House dumpster.
