Lower Cascades trail upstream of ford at the Falls shelter

Case Date:
2/9/2025

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.

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.

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.

The path around winslow sports complex is one that I bike every weekday. This patch of trail is VERY dangerous right now with an edge to it that has gotten even larger over the past month. I bike with my two kids on my bike and it is a section of the trail that I'm afraid will pop my tires or will cause me to derail. I know there are those who use walkers and other such accessibility items and I assume that for them this is also a large issue. Thank you for helping us have awesome parks.
