Last year after the city paved the small area where the picnic table are located at Ferguson Dog Park, it created a run off area that has since turned into a permanent mud/dog pee pit. All dog owners try to keep their dogs out of it because of how gross it is. It's not very big and could easily be filled with a wheelbarrow full of gravel. Can you please fix this so people can enjoy the park more? Thanks so much!
Common entrance to Biolife Plasma and Author Solutions: Biolife has a stop sign coming OUT of their particular lot but Author Solutions doesnot. I almost had a head on collision coming in to Biolife because someone comingoutof Author Solutions had not Stop sign. Essentailly both directions - coming into Biolife and coming out of Author Solution's particular parkinglot - have the right of way. A stop sign must be added coming out of Author solutions.
Looking to obtain any drainage reports for areas around Wapehani Bike Park. Particularly the Sam's Club and Rural King shopping center.
I found a syringe just a foot or two off the B-Line Trail in a clump of spearmint growing behind the orange building at 7th and Madison. Ironically, the syringe was orange too. I left it there, because I am not trained in handling syringes, but it should probably get picked up and disposed of properly. Thanks, Yael
There are a bunch of potholes in this area. Greenbriar Lane has a small grassy median between High Street and Locust. At the west end of this median on the north side of Greenbriar where it meets Locust there is rough pavement and a pothole. Continuing northwest there is a small traffic island between Locust and Wilton with potholes around it and a bunch of gravel on the sidewalk. The potholes need to be filled and the gravel cleaned up.
Pothole at the intersection of Greenbriar and Locust Ct. The north east corner, near the fire hydrant, on the north side of the Greenbriar at the west end of the median.
I'm wondering if there's been any thoughts about developing a mountain biking loop around lake griffy? I'm sure that we could get some volunteer and local business support for building and maintaining something and maybe work with the university on a mtb'ing club who could also be trail stewards. Additionally, maybe some trail connectivity through that area could enable realistic bike commuting to Marlin Elementary. I don't think anyone wants to take their child on a bike down Griffy dam hill or old 37. I would be interested in meeting with someone and getting back into public service if a champion of the idea was needed. Thanks!
A vehicle drove through park of Park Ridge Park. The ground was apparently quite wet so the area of the park where the vehicle drove is quite damaged. The damaged location is the part of the park immediately adjacent to the Polly Grimshaw Trail and it needs some attention prior to the season starting in earnest to prevent further damage in that area from erosion on the now exposed ground. Also, some one dug out the the ground and mulch underneath one of the park swings significantly enough that there is quite a pit underneath the western swing and that area needs repair. As a somewhat different note which is more just routine maintenance, a plank on the wooden fence next to the trail head has come loose and fallen (on the northern part of the fence). Also, the leaves from the oak trees have not been removed or otherwise been blown away over winter. Previously this situation has lead to a lack of grass leading to significant erosion and damage to the park terrain. I am guessing the leaves should probably be removed soon, ideally in the fall. Last season, the parks team worked hard to mitigate this issue and it would be a pity to see hard work washed so to speak. On that note, I would like to thank the parks maintenance team for the quick responses to previous requests and concerns that have been made about this park and trail. Thanks a lot! I was really impressed with how easy the whole team was to work with as well as how responsive everyone was to the needs of both the park and the neighborhood. Thanks again!
For the last few mornings there have been cars parked in front of the entrance to the Polly Grimshaw bike bath on the street right by the Park Ridge Park playground. I would like to request a more visible "no parking" sign be installed as this can be very inconvenient and even dangerous depending on how fast you are going on a bike.
Will you please have someone move the large City dump truck that has been parked in the northeast corner of the Frank Southern parking lot for some time now, and not park large vehicles there in the future? It blocks views of Henderson to the south, and requires motorists to pull all the way into the crosswalk to see if traffic is coming. Thank you.
