Hi, I don’t know if the parks department or city cares much about it but there are large patches of Japanese knotweed growing along the trail. It's a tricky plant to get rid of and requires strategic doses of herbicide at specific stages in it's life cycle and for multiple years. Y'all might already be aware and I've chatted with a lady working on other invasives along the trail. I live in Broadview 2nd and have been keeping my eyes out for it to keep it out of the neighborhood. I just wanted to bring it to someone's attention. The subreddit for invasive species seems to have the most up to date methods of attack and discussion I've found. Cutting it down only makes it angry and dig in/spread more. Feel free to call or text if you need any more information from me. Thanks Richard

Running north on Bline with my daughter at ~10:30 am was verbally harassed by a group of 4 men who appeared to be unhoused gathered by the tables adjacent to Wonderlab garden. Comments were of a sexual nature. It would be appreciated if you could step up patrols in that area. Thank you.

It was recently brought to my attention that the city landscaping is contracted vs performed by city employees. I believe the scope of their work did not get communicated properly. There is a strip of grass from Hopsctoch coffee to the Grimes St overpass which is not currently being mowed. Some of the residents have been mowing it on their own, but not all have. I understand this is the city's responsibility. Some of the grass is much higher than the city allows. Please send someone to remedy the problem. It's not just an eyesore but may bring unwanted critters as well. Thank you

Can the city check the Rail Trail and surrounding property to make sure the homeless aren't camping there again after being evicted and trespassed in 2024? There's some tents visible and tonight (4/21/25) it smells like burning trash again. Please continue to monitor this area and prevent the problem from returning. It's unsafe with the homeless by the trail and the problem needs to be kept at bay permanently. Thanks.

Multiple trail locations including, but not limited to, Leonard Springs, Clear Creek Trail, Olcott Park, and RCA Park have fallen or partially fallen trees which pose a danger to trail users because they are hanging precariously over the trails. Of secondary importance is the fact that these same parks are littered in fallen trees and limbs which pose a significant fire risk. I frequent these trails regularly and can provide multiple photos of the conditions I have described above. Please take time to investigate this urgent safety concern for the sake of our city's park users. Thank you!
