Parks and Rec Friends - We appreciated that you put down rock on the Creek's Edge Trail earlier this summer where one of the detention ponds drains. However, this past weekend's rains have washed the bulk of that rock from this crossing. We would appreciate a repair of this issue. Thank you!
There are low hanging branches on the trail through the middle of Bryan Park. There's an especially low one just east of the wooden bridge, but there are others that require ducking. There is also vegetation coming in from the creek side that should be pruned back.
I live right next to Bryan Park and walk my dogs there daily. Lately, there has been a noticeable increase in the amount of pet waste left uncollected by other dog owners. The middle path through the park is particularly bad. You can hardly go 10-15ft along the path without encountering a pile. I have stepped in several while moving out of the way for cyclists. I don’t have a good solution on how to fix this, people just aren’t picking up after their dogs and it’s becoming an issue.
Walking the trails and street line next to Latimer Woods and at the bus stop of E Buick Cadillac Blvd and S Clarizz Blvd I realized that there has been more trash filling in this area. There are now three shopping carts and some homeless encampments. The area has a foul smell. I walk this area almost every morning and this part of the woods has gotten worse with trash and encampments.
Run each morning next to the mall and the Latimer woods and there have been homeless encampments in the wooded area of Latimer woods for 3-4 months now. This morning it had a more unusual foul smell than usual, like the smell of something/someone dead. There is broken glass and trash throughout the woods and coming out of that area as well
Trees down across stream at Lower Cascades. could collect branches & detritus over time, causing blockage. Location is near IMI concrete company.
I started using the Clear Creek Trail about 3 yrs ago and was impressed with the way it was maintained. Last summer and so far this year not a lot of attention has been given to upkeep.no one seems to be mowing or cleaning the trail after a high wind when limbs have been blown down. One place that keeps getting worst is as the trail turns and runs along Rockport Rd. There is a large brush pile that has been there for the three years I have been using the trail and now it's starting to push a little more out onto the trail. There has been several limbs, some big enough to block the trail and I personally have removed the just so I could use the trail. This past winter the trash cans were full and the contents was blowing out onto the trail. It would be nice if you could give a little more attention to this matter. Thank you
There is an abandoned bike in the woods just behind the bench. It doesn't look like it's been there very long, and it looks like a fairly decent bike. The wheels are off, but they are nearby on the ground. It seems like too-expensive of a bike to just leave in the woods.
porta potty has no toilet paper and desperately needs to be pumped.
Water from nearby creek was overflowing after a rain storm. there is a large fallen tree daming the creek raising waterlevel.
