I'm very excited to see the new High Street multi path finally being developed, however I do have 2 concerns about the project. First, access for our Sycamore Knolls neighborhood into the Jackson Creek Trail has been effectively cut off during construction, and there is really no safe way to bike to the trail with small children unless you ride on High Street. Better consideration should have been given to maintain pedestrian access after removing the existing sidewalk on High Street. Second, it is disappointing that the trail will end at Arden. It would have been nice to see in continue north for another half mile to Marilyn/Covenanter, and connect into the existing Covenanter Greenway. That would have greatly expanding access for the Southeast side of town towards the B-Line trail utilizing this existing greenway.

Clear creek and Rockport. Shouldn't be confusing public with signs not to park when perfectly lawful and safe to do so on wide low traffic subdivision roads. Apparently trying to appease a few uppity neighbors who don't like looking at cars instead of giving more wide public access to a public trail on a public road. I'll keep parking there and will encourage others to do the same. It hurts no one. Remove the sign.

At the Sherwood Oaks Park we need a short connecting paved path at the north end where the north/south path (almost) meets the east/west sector. When the gate is closed, pedestrians have to slog through mudpuddles or walk on slippery compacted snow to go from one paved trail to the other. Perhaps when you have equipment out there now repairing the flood damage on the NW corner, the crews could lay this small, but extremely helpful addition.

Polly Grimshaw Trail, east section, needs a trim, especially the west end near Pete Ellis Dr. Workers should be careful of the large growth of poison hemlock!

Went to Leonard Springs last Monday. As you know there is a trail map just inside the gate. That map is at the junction of the main trail, the road, and what appears to be a trail off to the right. We decide that we should tackle the difficult part and then have an easy hike backup on the road. Big mistake. The trail was steep and very slick from the rain. Half way down a friend slipped in the mud, tried to steady himself on a tree which immediately gave way causing him to faceplant into downed debris and breaking the radius in the elbow. Luckily we had a soft pack to use as a sling. Being that going backup would be impossible we continued down hoping to pick up the road as indicated on the map. Since the trail in most info we had seen prior listed the trail as easy what we were on was in no way "easy." Much to our surprise we encountered another much more well defined and developed trail which we could take back up. This trail was easy, steps and well groomed surface. Once back on the road we stopped and looked at the trail map again. It soon became apparent the sign was in a very unfortunate location or would have better served by having an annotation like "you are here" with an arrow indicating the trail is actually 50 yards down the road. Please move the sign or add a caveat that what appears to be a well worn trail is very steep and difficult is not the main trail. My friend has had one surgery and faces others to repair the damage. By the way we are all fairly athletic and experienced hikers. thank you for your consideration.

The wooden bridge at Bryan Park in front of the bathrooms has a section of it that is collapsing and it’s very dangerous someone’s foot could go through when they’re walking or when they’re riding a bike
