Please post a sign at Park Ridge East shelter reminding residents that the shelter is not reservable. Leah Sinn Iversen and others have been trying to reserve on behalf of groups. With just the one shelter, drop-in use is appreciated. Thank you!
At the north end of Park Ridge Park where we have been clearing invasives, just off the Polly Grimshaw Trail before it turns west and goes along the railroad, a pallet appeared among the winter creeper and bushes last week. I saw it on the 11th. It appeared to be over the boundary, and so on the property of The Crossing. On the morning of the 18th, there was a blue tarp on a mound on the pallet. I am guessing that someone is sleeping there, but the tarp stayed quiet and unmoving while I was there. The city may not be concerned since it does not appear to be on park land, and nothing has happened, but just in case someone keeps track.
Park Ridge Neighborhood Association would like a bike rack installed at Park Ridge Park. Can the installment coincide with the Longview Greenway improvement project next year? In my mind it makes sense to be at street level.
Erosion to the north of the access stairs is causing rock to accumulate at the bottom of the trail. Not only will the original problem (the erosion) get worse if left unmitigated, but the rocks are catching skateboard wheels etc of children playing at the park and on the trail, creating an unnecessarily dangerous situation.
loose limbs in trees NE corner of People's Park, near pedestrian pathways and the Bicycle Garage, Inc. parking lot...hazard to pedestrians, cyclists, etc.
Homeless harassing park patrons. They are also stealing power from an outlet on the pole in the north east corner of park. They have piled up trash in that corner of the park as well.

ihitPolly Grimshaw Trail (east portion near tennis court) has numerous bumps that are hazards to bikes at speed (coming down the hill at night. Could they be leveled out is some manner, like we have done with hazardous concrete side walks. Here is a video of the section. https://photos.app.goo.gl/suXcMYAf74QbcxjL6
