There is an older fellow who consistently comes to the park on a bike with his dog and plays loud, very explicit music on a Bluetooth speaker. I wouldn't really have an issue if there weren't so many kids around that don't need to hear that music aloud. He should wear headphones like everyone else. To give a physical description for better identification, he has long, somewhat greying hair and looks to be in his mid to late 40s. He always wears a backwards baseball cap, sunglasses, a t-shirt, and shorts. The dog is a small to mid size breed, mostly grey with some brown and white spotting. He frequents the tables outside the two dog parks but never actually enters the large or small dog parks. I believe this qualifies as being a public disturbance/nuisance and enough people seem bothered by it that it seems like someone with authority should take action to get him to cease.

Switchyard Park - East Parking lot needs wayfinding signs to help navigate to the best path to get to a desired destination in the park. Other parts of the park would probably benefit from wayfinding signs, too.

Southeast Park near the shelter parking lot

I am a Park Department volunteer and have adopted Southeast Park. Following the last storm in June, I checked the park for downed limbs and branches. I found the majority of storm-debris east of the paved path and picked the debris up and then moved the material to the tree line slope east of the parking lot. A few days later I observed a large pile of tree and brush within the park edge adjacent to the park shelter parking lot.
I thought this pile was suspecious and today while I took apicture of the pile. As I was leaving the park a Park Department worker drove up and I asked him if the pile was made by park staff. He said he was unaware and was going to take a picture. When I got home I reported it to one of the park department staff involved with the volunteer program. I have emailed my picture to her. In many of the parks, including Southeast Park we have encountered park neighbors dumping their yard waste onto park property.

Sidewalk & Curb Complaints
Sims Lane and Leonard Springs Road
- Case Date:
- 7/8/2025
Received from a Resident in Van Buren Township.
I live off Sims lane and have a question?
When you try to get out onto Leonard Springs off of Sims there are a bunch of weeds / shrubbery/ trees that totally block the view to the South. So you have to inch out and hope to not get hit in the meantime. And with the way people fly over that hill south of Sims, it can be dangerous.
So my question is how can we get those trimmed? It is practically on the road, so not sure if it’s the county or homeowner?
I don’t want to cause any problems but also don’t want there to be an accident there. Sims lane traffic plus the Heatherwood traffic makes for a busy intersection. I’ve lived there for 30yrs and this is the worst I’ve seen those weeds / shrubs, whatever it is.
Any help would be appreciated!
