There are mattresses, a small dresser, trash and broken down vehicle parked/abandoned at the northern trailhead on Dunn St. My neighbor says he saw a tent and campsite in the trail early this morning as well. I don't mind the squatter camping, but the excessive trash is unacceptable.

Dead tree is a safety issue. Dead, brittle limbs could fall and injure someone. Landlord needs to have taken down.
Guest came into WonderLab having found sharps on the trail near the janeway statue. There are piles of abandoned belongings around the side entrance to our WonderGarden on the trail. This is a safety issue for our guests and staff.
The dog water fountain has not been working for many weeks.
The water fountain on the B-Line between 4th and 5th Streets is not operational.
I found a needle underneath a bench on the b-line this morning when I was opening the WonderLab garden gates. This happens every few months. Would it be possible to get a sharps container on the b-line? Or could the city help WonderLab get a sharps container? It is not on our property, but the presence of sharps could directly impact our visitors.
On the B-Line just north of 6th Street, on Saturday mornings there are a few people who block the B-Line Trail during farmers market hours. They set up this obtrusive wooden platform right on the trail. It causes a lot of congestion for trail users in a very busy part of the B-Line. Can someone enforce rules that prevent people from blocking the trail like this? They can setup their board in the grass or somewhere else that is not impeding safe pedestrian and bicycle use of the pedestrian and bicycle trail (which is not a stage for their private and individual use). Maybe they can show up early enough to sign up to busk in the Farmers Market rather than clogging up the flow of people? Check it out. Saturday mornings, B-Line and 6th. Around 10am you will see the full problem they are causing.
