We got the tiniest bit off trail and saw from a distance, a skeleton draped on a tree, after getting closer we saw it was a deer skeleton but thought you guys might want to move it since it’s so close to the trail (it’s on the trail portion that would’ve went to where the old tire swing was before it was taken down)
There is a rotting deer carcass in the lake, right on the shore near the west north shore trail. I believe it was shot during the annual hunt but it was never collected. My sister is an ecologist and says that it should be removed from the lake to prevent e coli contamination. It is extremely pungent and can be located just by the smell. I have also tied a small green trash bag on a small tree along the trail, just uphill from the carcass.

Hello! I’m a resident of 639 north maple street. On my dead end street, there is an untrimmed, unofficial entrance that MANY residents of the neighborhood access on a daily basis. However, the path that has been roughly paved by passerby’s is steep, rocky, untrimmed and dangerous, especially in rain or snow. Even in the summer, it is dangerous. Children and pregnant women have issues going through here. I have tried to enter the b-line this way, but it’s too dangerous and steep for me. Anyway we can get something done for the neighborhood? We know there’s a sidewalk and safer way after the bridge on 11th to access, but out of convenience or maybe ambiance, most people enter through our dead end makeshift entrance. The makeshift entrance seems to not be in a definitive tenants yard/property. No one really knows. If someone could come check it out, that’d be great and appreciated. Thanks! - Ruth
Hello, Every day, people walk to the b-line through this area, that no one is sure if it belongs to someone's private property or the city. I write to inquire that if it is city controlled, to please install a friendly path to the b-line through this culdesac. It is dangerous for anyone trying to take the short cut to the bline. It is full of rocks and mud, and people still climb through it. I see this as a clear sign that an official entry passage should be enforced here, for everyone's safety and convenience in the neighborhood. Thank you.
Lamp post 134 on B-Line Trail appears to be out. This is a high-priority public safety issue as there have been assaults on this part of the trail recently.
A large tree fell and completely blocked the B-Line trail today at lamppost 156 (next to the railroad overpass). I was able to carve out a path for pedestrians and cyclists but the remainder of the tree still needs to be removed. I'd also appreciate if crews could remove the nearby brush pile since it creates cover for rats and mice. Thanks!
Lamppost 155 on the B-line is noticeably dimmer than the other lamps. Looks like the bulb might be on its way out but the clear housing plate could probably use a cleaning as well.
