Flag football parents driving into the fields and parking on the grass in the middle of the field so they don’t have to walk from the parking lots. They seem to be taking advantage of no parking enforcement on the weekends. 10/13/24 around 12:30.
Electrical box fallen over.
Hello, there has been multiple homelessness sleeping and dropping trash at the playground at Howe street. It’s an issue that we have to solve. My kid can’t go under those circumstances. I appreciate your time. Thank you so much.
Light on the basketball courts is broken. Would be awesome if there were more lights too. My friends and I play here and with the days getting shorter it would be great to be able to play in the evenings.
Fencing material still in grass. Needs picked up on Northside of Broadview Park
The tennis and pickleball courts are in need of sweeping. There are many pine needles down since storms. The courts are slippery as a result. I’m sure there are many demands after rains, but there are more than 30 people over 60 years old playing this morning and I am concerned for their safety and your liability.
While walking through the park I observe acholic being consumed regularly. Empty alcohol bottles left on tables in pavilions. I changed my walking path at night because of unhoused sleeping on playground and at both pavilions. The park is becoming more and more unsafe.
I don’t remember what the initiative is called, but someone planted trees and the city stopped mowing a large swath of Butler Park a year or two ago. Predictably, invasive plant species immediately colonized the area once mowing ceased. I understand the sentiment of trying to re-naturalize a space, but it’s counterproductive if we’re just going to create another xenotope. If city staff don’t have the time to maintain the new space and control the invasive plants, then I recommend that mowing be resumed in the meantime.
Tree of Heaven is an invasive species and I found one for the first time this summer growing up in my back yard (Lakewood Ct). My back yard backs up onto Dunn St and I realized it mostly likely spread from a few that are growing quite large just across Dunn Street in Griffy nature preserve. I would appreciate if the city could take the necessary measures to remove/kill the plants that are across from my yard so they don't spread any further into the woods in my yard or other houses in Blue Ridge neighborhood. Thank you
There’s a street light on a utility pole that is above the north east corner of the basketball courts of the building and trades park that has had a pine tree grow up around it. The light appears to be broken/nonfunctioning. It would be nice to have a functioning light(s) on the court.
