Polly grimshaw trail has a lot of overgrowth. Can parks trim it back or have the abutting property owners? Including poison ivy

Someone removed the signs at Park Ridge Park on Longview Avenue that stated the equipment was closed. Caution tape has been removed from equipment too.
In Bryan Park, ragweed along the edge of the stream that feeds Sheridan Creek. Please urge mowers to mow in a little further. It's a few inches tall now, but it can get to be 3 or more feet tall by August. (Sidebar: most of the area between the basketball courts and the picnic shelter would be like that too without mowing)
There is a large amount of poison hemlock in several spots along the Polly Grimshaw Trail. Some of it is falling into the path. Some unknowing person might pick the flowers or try to remove it from the path.
Posen ivy on bridge at Bryan Park.
We live in Park Ridge East. When they mowed recently, they only did the area around the playground and not the big field. Since no one can play on the playground now, it would be really nice if they could mow the big field, where we can actually play. I'm attaching a photo of this. Also, there is a creek bed by the park that is city property. They clear cut this area last year but have not maintained it since. If there's any way they could also mow this area or at least weed whack, that would be another safe play. Thank you!
I have seen people who seem to be city and/or parks employees drive private and city vehicles off S. Stull Ave and on to the grass to get around the chain at the equipment garage. Maybe the chain could be locked with something easier to open.
Several B-Line Lights are now out between Adams and W. Moravec Way: 140, 141, 142, 144, 146, 148, 150, 153, and 155; Lights are out between W. Moravec Way and Fairview: 133 and 135; Lights are out behind the Warehouse 132, 133, and 135. Two more with no numbers nearer to the Switchyard Pavilion (north and south)
The sidewalk at the north edge of the Goat Farm is covered with mud and water. I reported this on 3/30, #172124, and it was cleaned up. The problem appears to be a lack of drainage causing the standing water and residual mud.
This trash can is on the B-Line next to the Seminary Square Kroger's bus stop. It is overflowing so trash is all over the trail.
