Well done! Those black gum trees up near the workout equipment in Bryan Park look very nice---color now (and again later in the fall, I assume)
Bryan Park, north side, near Stull Avenue parking lot, one if the newly planted sapling has been knocked sideways . Needs to be straightened.(Sidenote: is that an Osage orange? The roots are orange).
There is no farmers market page that is available on Instagram or other social media you have to subscribe to a weekly email and there is no information easily available for each week or even the month on the city website. This needs to be rectified as it is very exclusive to only utilize Facebook. It also does not provide information to more people who are interested or for people who are not from town.
The bug maple city tree in front of our house on S Washington (near the corner of Dodds) has a carpenter ant infestation at the base of the trunk. If treated immediately I think the tree can still be saved. Will the city do this? If not, may I do so? We don’t want to lose this beautiful tree.
Hello, I am writing about the gravel paths along the bline. They are very inconsistent on each side, and this limits how my wife with a disability is able to talk up and down the bline. Because it is designed for 2-way taffic, her mobility issue means she hazards the wrong side of the path to get to the very helpful gravel parts. From country club road to 2nd street (i’m unsure of condition further NW, the paths are inconsistenly maintained and at time neither side is very good. I’ve seen many other people that use those paths and believe it is an accessibility issue. We hope they can be restored to how they once were. Many paths are only a few inches wide and not enough and some have over growth from spring, some seem very wide and well maintained but only on one side. Thank you for your consideration to this message. I’m only marking this as a ‘complaint’ rather than ‘suggestion’ because i believe it to be an accessability issue as previously stated.

It appears that the City's 2025 pool waiver eligibility policy has changed. In past years, waiver eligibility has been based solely on qualifying household income. Now, additional criteria has been added to also require a minor living in the household. Please consider returning to the sole criteria based on household income. It would be much more equitable to allow low-income adults to have access to city pools as well, even if they do not have children. Especially at a time with deep cuts to many federal resources for low-income people, local supports are more important than ever.
In the photo you can see the path across the feeder to Sheridan Creek, a bit east of the basketball courts. THANK YOU for clearing away the fallen top half of a tree that has been blocking the path for month. (There still needs to be a more permanent solution to crossing the feeder. For another day! But i still urge you to consider a little bridge---the only solution that hasn't been tried in the almost 20 years I have been crossing there)
If you can see the screenshot, you will see three images, one of a tree dedication plaque with a tree misidentified as an Ohio Buckeye. Another image of the tree and a third from Wikipedia about the tree itself actually is. If it is possible to correct that somehow, please think about doing that. Thanks!
