On May 4th, 2022 I was taking a walk through the park when I noticed a chemical-type smell lingering near the stream that flows east to west through the middle of the park. When I went to investigate the source of the smell, I was alarmed by an opaque milky white substance contaminating the flowing stream. It also seemed to be the source of the smell. I followed the contamination upstream and traced it to a white PVC pipe that appears to originate from the Bryan Park pool facility. There was also particulate settling in the water where the pipe drains into the stream. Immediately after that I walked to the pool facility and confirmed with two city workers that the pool does indeed drain directly into the park's stream. They also told me that they were directed to power-wash the pool area and the resulting material was discharging directly into the stream via the PVC drainage pipe. Further, other city workers have confirmed with me that the pool water itself gets drained into the stream annually. I am not sure if this is legal - and if it is legal, it is certainly not environmentally sound. The material that is draining into the stream is very likely environmentally harmful.
Thank you for considering and responding to my recent report regarding the now faded parking spot lines in the 1200 - 1400 blocks of the south Dunn street neighborhood. Until such time as they can be re-painted (for visibility), can there be some increased parking patrols, as it is common to encounter vehicles parked on or over the lines, limiting space and creating a hazard (which just pushes the next car to park over, and so on like domino effect) down the street. Vehicles parked facing to wrong way in spots, as well as sometimes blocking the street or alleys, are also common occurrence. Thank you. (Email reply - if necessary - is preferable)
