The back yard of the property is full of trash and it is scattering to the adjoining properties. Can someone from the City come and take a look at the problem.
There is poison ivy around the chain link fence around the tennis courts. Could you please remove it? The tennis balls get in it and we've gotten poison ivy from this.
Gravel washed down into sidewalk, making it inaccessible
One pickle ball net is too high and the other one is too low. It's the courts furthest from the police station.

Scooter left on sidewalk
This water fountain next to Kroger on the bike bath is too close to this tree to be accessible, especially for a wheelchair to get to the water bottle fill side of the fountain. I can see this only being a larger access issue as the tree grows. The water bottle side would allow a user with one available hand to use the fountain, whereas the drinking sides need one hand to hold the bottle and one to push the button.
The main paved walking,bike trail at switchyard park. The bikes especially elecyric bikes are being driven too fast. I push a dog stroller to the dog park and suddenly the bikes go wizzing past us, very fast happens all the time now. They are going to eventually collide with someone walking a child or dog.
An orange "Core&Main" tarp has been up between our property (1437 N Kinser Pike) and the Aspen Heights property for about 2 years. I spoke with Aspen Heights and they said it was the purview of the city. It doesn't seem to be doing anything productive anymore, as far as I can tell, but if it is, half of it has fallen down. It makes for extra yard work, mowing around it and weedwacking by it. If it can be taken down, that would be great. If it needs to stay up, may we politely request it be fixed where it has fallen.
