This picture is from same tree I made a ticket for last week, but on the opposite side. (Thanks for your prompt attention to those detached branches last week!) there is another dangerous hanging limb (or 2) that’s disconnected from the tree. All the maple trees in this stretch of road are in need of undergrowth clean up. Bare branches are constantly dropping onto the street and parked cars when the wind blows. I was told that about 2 weeks ago, Service Master was working at a house there and a larger branch fell on their van. I will email Haskell Smith concerning cleaning up this dead undergrowth issue as a whole in Gentry Honours in S. Park Ridge Rd.
Missing bike rack - there used to be a bike rack just to the north of the splash pad that I used frequently. During our Monday and Wednesday community run group meetings that meet at that location (6pm), the bike rack was frequently full. The bike rack disappeared some time last week with no apparent explanation. Perhaps the city could partner with a nearby bike shop (Bike Garage, just up the street) to replace that well-used bike rack?
Old leaning tree over the sidewalk and a few older trees with cracking limbs and branches these are on a city parcel and have been reported before after a large limb fell and broke other limbs on the trees. There is also a large tree along the street at 1003 w Cottage Grove that has dead branches on top of the tree. Along the curbs of w Cottage Grove the weeds are growing and will block the drains, there are leaves and black walnuts and gravel too.
The lights at the Bryan park tennis courts do not work.
Will the bike rack by the splash pad be returned or was it moved somewhere else? It is nice to have the bike rack near the restrooms.
There is a guy hitting golf balls at the park essentially using the field as a driving range.
Located at Moravec Way intersection with B Line Trail: could you please trim this tree back, so someone turning onto B Line Trail has more visibility of people using trail coming from Fairview St direction?
Located at N Fairview St and B Line Trail intersection: could you please trim back the overgrown plants which obstruct the view, for wheelchair user, of cars coming from W 11th St direction? I need all the visibility I can get, with how fast cars come from that direction.
Olcott Park. One of the toilets in the women's restroom at Olcott Park keeps running. I looked to see if there was a place to turn off the water supply to the toilet, but I didn't find one. I tried moving the toilet handle and that didn't work either. It's really noisy, too. It looks (and sounds) like a plumber is needed to fix the problem. Thank you very much for your consideration.
