read in 1998 spring guide that shelters are available from April 1 to Oct 31 on a first come first serve basis. Came in on April 1 to reserve a shelter only to be told that it had been reserved on Jan 1st. Wants to know why this wasn't clear in the program guide.
Caller upset that bathrooms were not unlocked, grown men were "peeing in the ditch". Does not want kids to see that. Possible port-a-potty? Loves parks, just does not want kids exposed to "exposure". Water fountains were on.
re: Rails & Trails, and Building Trades Park. Garbage cans along Rails to Trails and Building Trades Park. Also, dog messes everywhere, can't walk. Would like signs put up.

re: Lower Cascades Ball Fields. Lower Cascades has piles of leaves and debris at ball fields. There is a very strong smell like "rotten olives" coming from these piles. Caller has called police in reference to illegal dumping. He is very concerned about this illegal dumping. The odor is very strong from parking lot to intersection. PLEASE CALL BACK!
Rails to Trails: there is barbed wire in a patch of trees. She was walking around dusk and walked into it. Had to get 6 stitches. Is in the Sommersby neighborhood. (It sounds like there is a small path that leads from Sommersby to the main trail. This is where she encountered the barbed wire. This may not actually be a "real" path.)
The employees at BPD park along the east side of Morton St. the sidewalk in the 400 block of N. Morton is overgrown with weeds, has a lot of broken glass on it and the sidewalk is broken and uneven in most places.
Grass is high.
