Bicyclists in parks and on trails do not notify walkers that they are coming up behind them. Other countries have bells on the bikes which the bikers use to alert someone that they are coming up behind. It is startling to have someone fly by, esp when walking a dog. Dogs could dart out in the path of the bike if the walker is not aware the biker is behind them. The City needs signage in every park and on every trail to remind bikers that they need to signal their approach when coming up behind a walker, esp one with a dog/dogs.

Southeast Park tennis courts have tall weeds growing around the fence area.
Also, the sidewalk on the northside of the tennis courts is caked in mud, making it difficult to use. This was addressed a couple of months ago, but the mud is back. Looks like the sidewalk needs to be raised or re-done to fix the problem.

This hole needs a new, more substantial patch, maybe a heavy steel cover, like those used to cover holes on highways, smaller of course. Small kids were running across the split wood, one of them is going to get hurt or someone's foot is going to go through.

My suggestion is there needs to be railings on these little bridges over the creek in Switchard Park. I can see kids walking on these and failing off of these bridges. Please put up a railing on these before someone gets hurt.

Visited Bryan Park pool this weekend for first time with my 5 year old. We arrived Sunday afternoon, saw people in the pool, and joined them. Within minutes we had a teenage lifeguard yelling from across the pool to get out in our general direction. I was a little confused, and uncertain who exactly he was yelling out. This continued as he runs around the pool to yell specifically at me. I explained to him that I was unsure why exactly we were being told to get out of the pool when there were other patrons using it. He told us it was adult swim time and children were not allowed in the pool.
After reflection on this I am a little frustrated. There was no signage indicating that children were not allowed in the pool at the time we arrived, and I feel like his response to the situation was completely unnecessary. I would suggest that signs be posted of some sort to indicate when children are not allowed in the pool at the very least. If this is supposed to be some known unwritten rule, I arrived not knowing it and that was not fair.
Thanks for your consideration.

We found another used syringe at the playground next to the swings this afternoon. Luckily, we saw it just before our son stepped on/over it. We disposed of it in the garbage can. Just thought we’d report this issue as we seem to be seeing more of them.
