I found a syringe just a foot or two off the B-Line Trail in a clump of spearmint growing behind the orange building at 7th and Madison. Ironically, the syringe was orange too. I left it there, because I am not trained in handling syringes, but it should probably get picked up and disposed of properly. Thanks, Yael

While removing the bush honeysuckle from behind this guard rail and into the preserve the erosion from stormwater runoff was noticed. How can we look to mitigate this drainage issue? I can email a photo and video but, attempting to submit it in this report isn’t working.
Was sitting on bench in Park Ridge East Park the other night at the tennis courts (is on the south side of the courts) and noticed the seat is deteriorating (peeling and rusty; go take a look). As it's the only one there, could you please see to it that it gets replaced? Fixed is fine but doubt it can be fixed. Thank you! It's awesome to have great neighborhood parks in town.
Erosion to the north of the access stairs is causing rock to accumulate at the bottom of the trail. Not only will the original problem (the erosion) get worse if left unmitigated, but the rocks are catching skateboard wheels etc of children playing at the park and on the trail, creating an unnecessarily dangerous situation.
loose limbs in trees NE corner of People's Park, near pedestrian pathways and the Bicycle Garage, Inc. parking lot...hazard to pedestrians, cyclists, etc.

All street lights on the Polly Grimshaw Trail east of Pete Ellis appears to be burned out. I just walked this trail this morning around 7:30 and thank goodness I had a light!
Edges of paved trail continue to crumble, making trail narrower and narrower in spots. Two-way use is becoming challenging when combined with plants life on other side. Also, Trail has a large sunken area with uneven surface on west end near bypass, tricky for anything wheeled no navigate. Please repair or replace as needed in honor of a fine Librarian and for those that use it, thanks.
