I used the Highland address for Winslow Woods Park, but the problem is at the Azalea entrance. There is a large tree down across the trail (there was on Saturday, maybe you've taken care of it). Going further into the park, there is another tree down across the trail. It's been that way for over a week.

The Clear Creek Trail is under attack by the local flora! Yes, that's right - the vegetation is taking over. The entire route of the trail, from Tapp Road to Church Lane, needs to be seriously trimmed back. The trees and brush are overtaking the trail. There are hazards from both a vertical and horizontal line of attack. In places the trail is narrowed by the overgrowth crowding out the trail. In other places, there are branches hanging down low that can take a rider off a bike. The entire length of the trail needs some trim work to cut back the overgrowth and low hanging branches and restore the trail to its full width. The trail would be much safer with this work completed.
52. That's how many vertical and/or horizontal obstructions I counted on the Clear Creek Trail from the Tapp Road trailhead to the Church Lane bridge. 52 points where tree limbs or overgrown bushes are in the way. Cyclists have to duck. Pedestrians have to weave. It's dangerous and makes sharing the trail tough. 52. Maybe you count differently. Even if it's half or a quarter, that's still 26 or 13 hazards. That's dangerous. This trail needs cleaned up to allow unfettered access and enjoyment.
This the foot bridge over the stream at the North end of the clear creek trail. This is on the east end of the bridge. The piece of metal my kid is pointing at should be over the big crack at her feet.
This was reported to me by a citizen: The little steps on the B-line near 1st & Morton. The tops of some of the steps are loose and wobbly.
Park patrol John deere vehicle blocking the majority of the b-line trail with out safety cones or any safety precautions. Bucket placed farther into the trail than vehicle creating more of a safety issue. No apparent precautions or effort by city employee to prevent hazards
Last night our group was riding on the B-line trail and we noticed a golf cart was using the trail. A Marshall Security car stopped the golf cart, spoke with him for a bit, then told him to, 'Have a nice day'. The kart continued on the B-line over the bridge into Switchyard Park and the security guard drove off. Are golf carts allowed to use the B-Line trail? If not, why was this user allowed to use the trail and why isn't security actually doing something to stop it?
Please remove the Callery Pear trees. They are an invasive species and they smell bad. Please don't subject us to them next Spring, too.
