Many tree roots in this area, raising the bike path like speed bumps. Noticed they are growing and are becoming quite a nuisance for wheelchair especially. They are also quite hard to see in certain lighting conditions. There is also another large raised root across from Rev Butler Park path entrance off bike path.
Large pile of trash behind tree south of the B-Line near (former) lamppost 157, between the trail and the railroad and west of the railroad bridge. Most likely an abandoned cache of items pulled from the nearby Opportunity House dumpster.
(See attached) A big truck drove through this morning and ripped a big limb out of this tree. It landed on sombody's minivan who was driving behind the truck. Both vehicles left the scene, but the tree debris remains. Sobody drug it off the road to the curb. Its right along 10th Street, north side of the street, between Fess Avenue and Park Avenue.

See case #201657. Two older men sit in the park nearly every day at around 11am smoking cigars right where people want to walk or sit. One of the men is extremely loud and yells vulgarities at people who ask him to stop smoking. Can someone in a position of authority please talk with them and ask them to not smoke anywhere in the park? They usually do it close to the bagel shop, where customers can smell them, but sometimes they sit closer to the bike shop, where everyone walks by on the sidewalk along Kirkwood. Please get them to stop.
My son found this needle last week in the parking lot of the Butler Park Gardens. We went back to the visit our garden today and it was still there so I picked it up and put it in the needle box at the park restrooms. This is the second time in a month or so that our children have come dangerously close to used needles. Baseball field is basically unrecognizable as a baseball field because of the weeds.
At this stated property along E. 5th St, there are trees along the road which are have copious winter weed vines climbing them. If these are not street trees, that is to say the city is not responsible for their care, I would be glad to try to cut the vines at the base if I knew from whom to get permission.
Traffic calming area and ROW overgrown into the street making it difficult for two cars to drive through.
