There is what looks like an individuals bedding, clothing and personal items that have been strewn about in the undeveloped alleyway immediately East of 1001 S Rogers Steet. These itmes have been there for over a week. There is too much for us to put in our personal trash bin. Thank you!!
I am sensitive to the needs of the unhoused and the city needs to be doing much more to protect them and provide them safe living spaces, but it is frustrating to me that I cannot walk my dog in any of the parks near me (Bryan park, switchyard) without feeling unsafe because of homeless people yelling at and following me. Bryan park used to be a safe park.

Hello Park and Recreation Team, I would like to share my thoughts about the new equipment called "Victory Tower” at Bryan park. Would you consider adding something like a ladder to come down? I see 2 options to come down either by a pole or come down with the slope. When more kids are waiting in the line to enjoy the equipment, it is hard to come down the slope. I do not know but I feel like the pole is expected to be used. When my child tried to use the pole, it was a little bit far from the top of the equipment so she got scared of grabbing a pole. More kids were trying to play with the equipment and my child felt pressured and cried. I wish I could have climbed the pole to grab her but I could not. If a child gets stuck at the top of the equipment, it will cause congestion. I feel like adding something like a ladder to come down would be more helpful.
Memorial tree marker for George Juergens is heaved up from the ground More likely a mower might clip it Maybe add soil, or dig it up and reseat it again.
A question about memorial trees. I just noticed this London plane tree planted not far from the stump of a sycamore. I am curious why a non-native tree was chosen, instead of a native sycamore. I urge you to plant native trees in our park and tree plots, for various reasons including avoiding a repeat of those Callery pears,adjacent to the tennis courts, planted and then cut down later when we learned better. There are so many Callery trees along the B-Line that, I assume, will have to be cut down and replaced
The trails in Bryan Park were not fully cleared of snow or salted after the major snow storm that happened a week ago. This has created hazardous icy conditions after some freeze/thaw cycles which makes walking and running there very difficult. The trails appear to have been plowed initial were but left 1-2" of snow that was never fully cleared and is now thawing partially during the warmer days and turning back to ice on the colder days.
Two issues at the same place. At the crossing place along the creek east of the basketball courts and the nearby bridge. 1) a tree branch has cracked and bent on the west side of thst crossing 2) it's been a few years since the last "fix" for the crossing where the intermittent stream enters Sheridan Creek. The fix involved a culvert, concrete and gravel. That area has eroded again. I'd like to suggest replacing that with a small bridge. Thank you!
There is glass by the lower Bryan park bench. Just wanted to let someone know!
In the photo you can see the path across the feeder to Sheridan Creek, a bit east of the basketball courts. THANK YOU for clearing away the fallen top half of a tree that has been blocking the path for month. (There still needs to be a more permanent solution to crossing the feeder. For another day! But i still urge you to consider a little bridge---the only solution that hasn't been tried in the almost 20 years I have been crossing there)
