Weed and brush overgrowth on West side of the B-Line, between 2nd and 3rd street, is getting very heavy again. Understand this is something that is normally cut back twicw a year, in the Spring and Fall. Please look into doing the Spring cut-back as soon as feasible. Thanks.
Vegetation is encroaching into the walking/running trail around Winslow Sports Park on both the east and west sides.

Median on W 3rd street, normally beautiful and well maintained, currently overgrown and crowded with weeds.
Tree (hackberry?) in ROW on 11th Street side of lot has limbs that are blocking sidewalk passage, and up higher the limbs are growing over the lot and possibly even touching the roof of the house.
Coming from Woodlawn, heading towards the intersection with Hawthorne and Ballantine, there are several willow (?) trees that have such low-hanging branches that they hit pedestrians and cyclists in the face.
When it rains, the entire ditch from Bainbridge to the Sherwood Oaks Park floods and encroaches on the homes in the area as well as exposing tree roots of trees close to utility poles. Run off from all surrounding streets goes into this ditch that ultimately drains into the creek at SHerwood Oaks Park and contributes to the significant flooding of that playground.
The water fountain to the west of the tennis court is running and cannot be stopped.
