I’ve been using the trails mainly Clear Creek for several years. I’m a bike rider plus walking. The Clear Creek trail seems to be ignored a lot in the last year or so. In the past couple of weeks we have had strong winds, some trees have blown down. The trees were removed in a timely fashion but the small limbs and debris from t/he clean up was left untouched. One area north of That Road and just north of the water fountain gravel and dirt continues to wash out onto the trail but nothing is ever done to resolve the problem. Walking is not as bad as biking but biking can be a real hassle. The trail gets so bad sometimes that I go to Karst Farm even though it’s not as convenient.
It seems a lot is being spent to develop the area south of Grimes and Clear Creek gets ignored. I see maintenance workers driving up and down the trail and they even sit and talk a lot but no one ever gets out of the vehicle to improve the trail when only a few minutes could make a big difference.
Thanks for your time.

I'd love to see a bus stop in Matlock Heights. I am not comfortable with my kids crossing the Bypass to get to existing bus stops, which really limits their ability to ride public transit. Thanks!

All summer long every day except Sunday starting at 7:30 Bryan Park employees used leafblowers on the playgrounds for 15 or more minutes. These are a source of air and noise pollution. What was being cleaned up? Dust? Leaves? For those, push room are faster, more effective, and non-polluting. Please consider not using gas-powered blowers in city parks, at least in summer.

I've recently noticed the Rail Trail between Country Club Drive and Gordon Pike has sections of large gravel (see attached photo).
I appreciate that maintenance is being done, assuming the City is responsible for this work. But, I am concerned because this large gravel is inconsistent with the existing surface for the trail.
As a bike commuter and runner on this section of the trail, I was disappointed to see large gravel appear on the surface. The Rail Trail is a great surface to run and walk on and commute on. These patches of large gravel pieces diminish it's utility and enjoyment.
Are there plans to use large gravel more often on the trail? I request that the smaller, packed surface be maintained.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you about the maintenance of the trail. Have a great day.

3508 Park Lane. Resident appears to be running a junk yard business in his front and side yards. Walking by this eyesore is most displeasing. I am sure the residents of other homes on that street are very disturbed by the messy, nasty look of this.

There's about 25 potholes on Rhohrer Road, between Sare and Walnut. They've been there for weeks. It seems like the City is ignoring this. One of the potholes is extremely deep. The City has put up a rough road sign now, but cannot fix the potholes?
