uReport Case #168317: I got a follow up email today about the hole I reported. Thanks to the long period of heavy rainfall, I think I have discovered what is responsible for the holes---burrowing crawdads. So, I still think the holes are dangerous BUT maybe there is no point in filling them.
Follow up on case #168883 about trees and vines growing up around the Norway spruce on the east side of the park between the tennis courts and the Woodlawn Shelter. I got an email saying that the issue had been resolved. It has not, unless that means it has been reported to the groundskeepers for clean up in the fall. Please clarify. Thanks!
Case #168067 should closed now. The grounds crew has been diligent in mowing. The photo above was taken this morning. Last year at this time that bald cypress was surrounded by ragweed several feet high.
The tree in the photo has grown to the point where the bike parking can't be fully used. As seen in the photo, the spots not covered by the tree are full. If the tree was cut back a little, one more bike could park. The concrete pad is large enough for 2 more bike racks that could park 4 more bikes. It appears those racks may have been removed in the past to accommodate more tree growth.
Dangerous holes at Ferguson Dog Park need filled in. One behind the red fire hydrant and another behind the 7th tree on the right hand side of the large dog run
Regarding uReport case #169184 I just got an email saying the case is closed after the city arborist reached out to me. I never heard a peep from a city arborist regarding my inquiry about the prairie landscapes in Olcott Park. I was disappointed that I did not hear from anyone.

The Switchyard Park skate park is finished, but there's still construction around it. This is the obvious reason it's still closed, but there is a plethora of kids that skate it every day and regularly get kicked out. This doesn't seem sustainable, and I would expect that it's only going to create ruthlessness and ignorance of the law in some of the kids. Right now, it's schedule to be closed off all summer and fall until the rest of the park is scheduled to be finished in November. This seems unreasonable. It would take comparatively little effort to finish a small path from the park to the B-line and move the construction fence line to the other edges of the park.
Dead squirrel on the uphill side of the kids playground at BUtler park. Sorry I was too squeamish to pick it up myself.
Hello, I broke my leg trying to cross the footbridge in Highland village park Wednesday evening while walking my dog. I and others have told me they have slipped on this footbridge and they agree it is a hazard. Now I will be on crutches for 4-6 weeks and have to pay for significant costs. You need to replace this bridge with a safer structure or your liability will become obvious.
