Resident phoned to report that some areas of the sidewalk along the Henderson side of Bryan Park are not clear of snow/ice, making pedestrian travel treacherous. This sidewalk is on Parks property.
During a Weed Wrangle at Clear Creek, we came upon some large debris that was too much for us to carry out. I've included a pic of the debris. The pile can be found near the creek. My geographical coordinates when I stood near the pile were: 39°08'05.7"N 86°33'40.4"W. To get there, follow the paved path south of the Tapp Rd parking lot for about 0.10 miles. There is a foot path that heads west into the woods. Follow the path until it's past the limestone blocks, then head north off the path toward the creek. The red cooler is easy to spot now that the leaves are down.
Multiple (maybe 8) very large trees of heaven growing along alley on east end of lot. Might be on City property, hard to tell. Trees are 2-3 feet in diameter. These trees are annually a source of many small invasive trees of heaven on nearby properties.
Coming from Woodlawn, heading towards the intersection with Hawthorne and Ballantine, there are several willow (?) trees that have such low-hanging branches that they hit pedestrians and cyclists in the face.

Not sure where this is specifically as a Facebook user sent it to me with the message: There is glass by the lower Bryan park bench. Just wanted to let someone know!
The majority of the sidewalk in front of Southeast Park, Arden/Montclair has been covered in ice for weeks. I believe that this is the City's responsibility and wonder why it has not been cleared. I frequently see BPD Resource Officers driving by this area and wonder why they cannot be involved in reporting ice-covered sidewalks? This seems like a massive public safety issue and one that they are well suited to assist in. Thank you.
Snow and ice not removed from sidewalk, north side of 3rd St., west of College leading to the B-line.
Snow and ice not removed from sidewalk, south side of 3rd St. running along the north side of the convention center (west of College), including the stairs up to the B-line.
There is a fair amount of ice on the trail between 3rd and 4th. I know it may be melted before anyone checks this out, but I wanted to mention it to remind the city that it should comply with its own ordinance. Yesterday I complained about snow on the sidewalk leading to the trail and the overpass on the north side of third. Today the section adjacent to Vectren was fairly clear, and I appreciate that, but not along the closed former motorcycle shop at the corner of 3rd and Madison. I know the city wants to be bicycle and pedestrian friendly, and built the trail to help achieve that goal. But if the trail and the access paths to the trail are not passable, you are falling far short of that goal. The snow stopped ten days ago. Every road has been clear for more than a week, as have parking lots. But the sidewalks still suck. It’s obvious by the city’s actions where its priorities are. Please consider raising the fines for snow removal violations, and sharing the fees with the people who report the violations. I’d make a mint. Thank you.
