The pavement on the B-Line Trail is buckled in several places, especially between 2d & 3d Sts. I thought this would be corrected when warm weather came, but it's now 95 degrees and it hasn't been fixed. Someone needs to flatten the bumps. It would be easy on a day like this.

I was driving in my car last night after dark and was headed south on Walnut Street when the red flashing lights for the trail crossing by the Switchyard Park entrance were activated. I stopped. I could not see any person right away. Then, a guy came out from behind the pole for the crossing button and walked across the street. What I noticed is that the area is very dark. There are no street lights or other illuminating features that make it so a motorist can see someone on the sidewalk and entering the crosswalk. It seems like it would be a bonus feature to light up the crosswalk with street lights overhead so a person becomes visible in the road to make it safer.
The Bryan Park pool is looking a little rough. Both of the larger water slides have graffiti on the inside that you see when you go down them. There are two mushroom-like water features in the Limestone Lagoon: one doesn't spray water anymore and the other is missing its top. The women's locker room has peeling paint and felt damp and grubby. This pool is arguably the best in town, but it is sorely in need of a refresh.
Additional camp. There is a large dog which barks when hiking in the area. Campers in park area between clear creek and the rail trail. Campers are in flood plain, which is hazardous for them. Beacon has been contacted and is unable to reach out at this time. There is a noticeable decrease of people hiking this part of the park and a decrease in wild birds in the area.
