Comment/suggestion re: People's Park. Saw article in the HT about improvements. Would like to add a suggestion that the wall be removed. It attracts people to sit on it and attracts walkers-by to converse w/those sitting on it and blocks pedestrian traffic on sidewalk. In addition, it is dingy and unattractive. She applauds the Dept for its initiative to improve the park.

Ms. Edmonds called in, b/c there is a red reflector sign at the North end of Wilton Drive that was knocked over by a City recycling truck a year ago, and it now leans over with growth completely covering it. Because it's completely obscured, she feels it doesn't work like it's supposed to to keep people from going past that point. She would like to see the sign put back up where it belongs, and the growth cut down and cleared away.

Disappointed that after school programs for her son, age 2 and daughter, age 6, @ the Banneker Center will be discontinued this fall. She spoke with Sherry Franklin, who was very nice and explained the situation -- giving her other possible resources. She now feels unwelcomed in the "community center" and fears programming will be geared only to older children in the future.

Mr. Crowe said he called 1 yr. ago in Oct. to Mayor's ofc., & 3 times since w/ NO response. This is regarding how dangerous it is for cyclists, joggers/walkers to use N. Dunn St. b/c Griffy Lake is "devouring" East side of Dunn. Also, brush along N. Dunn is literally hanging into road causing problems for motorists, as well as people. Brush scratches car, forced into oncoming lane to avoid people or brush - at this point feels city is liable if accidents of any kind occur. WANTS RESPONSE!

Mr. Lucas would like to know why new truck rt. (2nd & Allen) is NOT being used by trucks? He says that trucks use Allen St. b/c its a straight shot, w/ only 1 stop sign. He feels that trucks should be ticketed and fined so that they know "Blmgtn. has a police dept.". He says that the police need to monitor the speed limit, or someone is going to get hurt. This is a residential area, and he wants to see trucks using the appropriate route.

Resident of condos west of Southeast Park found "pot smoking device" on the basketball courts. He took the device to the Police Dept who in turn contacted Parks. He reported that becasue the grass is high, people can stay hidden. Said you can't see the footbridge for the growth. Concerned that children could get ahold of this stuff.
