The homeless camp that lives on the pickle ball courts are smoking and their stuff is over a large portion of the out of bounds section, along with their bikes. The pickle ball courts are for playing pickle ball, and I'm getting tired of having to navigate their stuff.
My name is Lauren and I am the facilities manager at Middle Way House. Yesterday afternoon I found a gas string trimmer tucked behind some bushes in our garden bed. This seemed suspicious so I brought it inside. Does this belong to the landscaping crew?
Poison hemlock at SW corner of large dog park. This invasive plant is toxic to dogs and people. Please spray or manually remove ASAP. Thank you!
Large tree branch down in Butler Park, at the entrance from the BLine side, near the westernmost shelter.
A branch fell off of a tree onto the fence and basketball court in Broadview Park. Thank you so much!
There are some racy graffitis tagged near the pile of limestone on the early history trail in RCA park, one depicting a nude female body, one saying ‘penis is very small’. There might be more but I just saw those.
Physical safety issues on playground at Switchyard Park. There are large sharp-edged rocks next to the two concrete slides separated by slippery artificial grass. I watched as small children tried to climb these rocks with no railings to hold on to, or as they tried to go up the grassy area next to the rocks and slides. This is a disaster waiting to happen! I was alarmed that a child was going to fall off the rocks or onto the sharp edges. I saw several children bump their heads on the concrete edge of the slides as they landed hard. Both of these issues need immediate attention. There needs to be a padding strip on the slides at the bottom. The large sharp-edged rocks need to be removed and steps with a railing installed on both sides of the slides.
Could you please fill dirt around the trees in the large dog park? It has been over a year since I've visited the dog park, and the swamplands around the trees is still not fixed. Creating a hill around the tree will allow the dirt to compact into flat land for future grass growth. Thank you.
Why is the city incapable of not parking on the sidewalk? You also still haven’t fixed the issue where images don’t attach to ureports properly. It’s a photo of a city truck blocking 100% of the sidewalk in front of building trades park. Glad I’m not in a wheelchair
Outside the homeless shelter at switchyard park off the walking path are hundreds of cigarette butts. This is making the area look very trashy as well as dangerous for wildlife/animals. Please hold people that litter accountable. Please also talk to shelter organizers to provide trash stations for cigarette butts and help educate people responsible for littering.
