Trails heading west are degrading in condition. Several large cracks and empty voids along the trail. Also Limbs along the trail are ridiculously low. Several are less than 5 feet off the ground and need trimmed. They need to be at least 6 feet up so people of average height can travel without issues of getting smacked in the face with tree limbs that are soaking wet. Please resolve both issues

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
Large patch of poison hemlock is getting ready to bloom
The water at the Limestone Greenway trailhead water fountain recently has tasted strange. Almost like it has some metal in it.
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.
bees swarming on the trail that runs alongside the warehouse between switchyard and rogers
More Japanese knotweed on northeast side of bridge over Clear Creek on new trail spur. There is a larger patch of younger knotweed on the opposite bank too.
