It’s a beautiful, sunny June day. Several individuals and about 30 campers with 4 counselors are eagerly awaiting the Bryan Park pool to open at 11 am. 11:05 am and the door is still shut, “POOL CLOSED.” Someone calls the pool hotline. Pool is closed till NOON, because it is 63 degrees out. The cooler morning temp did not discourage 35 people at 11 am - and also then had to reschedule their morning plans because of the unexpected delayed opening. Was this delayed closure truly necessary??

I was walking Bryan Park, along Woodlawn on Sunday 2/9/25 (pic is from 3:02PM) and the small security patrol vehicle was parked on the walking path across from Sheridan/Southdowns. It may have been watching the people on the tennis court. As I got closer, but still far away, it started up and drove up the walking path to the end by the tennis courts where it then moved to Woodlawn. I know this vehicle is not much more than a golf cart, however I questioned if it should be driving on the walking path. Sharing in case it is something Parks would like to know about. Thank you.

From the bridge above the Falls Shelter at Lower cascades were abandoned power poles, wires and overhead lamps. The wire and some parts and salvage value - copper is what - $4/lb. A theft appears to have taken place - 100 lbs + of wire - the wires gone, the metal gone, but the removal was done in haste because the trail is littered with chards of glass, plastic and metal pieces, including the wire nuts used with the lamps. What remains is a wooden lamp post and the attached electrical box which would have been difficult to salvage. I figure a theft, because the nation is riddled with wire thefts - irrigation wires on farms, new wire stripped from houses under construction, etc. The remaining litter is a hazard to walkers and runners, and it will take some time to clean it all up.

There's an insane amount of excrement along the B Link Trail. Possibly human.

There's a point on the Jackson Creek trail near Rhorer Rd. where a stupid cable supporting a utility pole is anchored in the middle of the path. It's very hard to see in low light conditions and this poses a risk to pedestrians and cyclists. Normally there's a reflective orange and white barrel by the cable to warn people, but someone has thrown it in the creek.

Hi! One of the security lights are out on the pole on B-Link. We reported it a while back but duke hasn’t repaired. I thought the city might be able to get it done! It’s been out for a long time so it’s pretty dark. Thank you!!

A black Pontiac sedan is off the road, parked/abandoned/unattended, facing Rogers (maybe spun out). It is on S Rogers between Gordon Pike and W That Road on the east side of the road, just north of the pedestrian crossing. It is off the road, in the snow/on the trail.

The trail has large patches of ice between 4th and 2nd. The bridge to the trail on 3rd has lots of bad patches. The sidewalk adjacent to the north side of the convention center has not been cleared at all. The sidewalk on 4th adjacent to Centerpoint is an icy mess (but if course their parking lot is cleared, because our community values people who drive more than people who walk). Two homes on the north side of 3rd between Rogers and Jackson haven’t cleared their walks.
