Half of the 8 light fixtures across the two light poles at Switchyard Skatepark are out and have been for quite some time.

I'm going to start a weekly inquiry for when the Switchyard Skatepark lights are going to be fixed. There are still many bulbs out and there are plenty of dark spots so skating past sundown becomes dangerous, despite lots of people still skating around that time.
The merry go round isn't going around.
Observed a drum (as in musical) situation in the creek just south of the Switchyard skate park. Can see the drum from the newer path/metal overlook bridge.
Skatepark lights are still over 50% burnt out. Days are getting shorter, risk of people injuring themselves at the park are increasing. Please look into replacing the fixtures sooner rather than postponing it indefinitely.
The overflow parking lot at Switchyard Park does not currently have a street light, making it very dark when returning to your car. The attached photo is from this past Food Truck Friday.
Multiple urban camp sites just off trail near dog runs. Clearly visible from b-line. lots of trash.
Would it be possible to have a crosswalk painted on South Rogers Street at the entrance to the parking lot of Switchyard Park? Thank you for your consideration.
Loose bolt on basketball hoop at Switchyard: The south basket at the Switchyard basketball court has a loose screw that keeps needing replaced/tightened. As you face the basket, it's the upper-left bolt. A constituent has been voluntarily tightening it when it gets loose, but he wants it fixed. He said last time the bolt fell out and the washer was lost and had to be backordered/the basket was out of commission for a while. He said he's submitted some complaints before and it is still a problem.
Switchyard basketball court lighting: Most of the park is well lit at night (pickleball court, skate park, etc.) but the basketball court isn't. Constituent would like to request lighting there so it's safer/easier to see.
