Hi, I don’t know if the parks department or city cares much about it but there are large patches of Japanese knotweed growing along the trail. It's a tricky plant to get rid of and requires strategic doses of herbicide at specific stages in it's life cycle and for multiple years. Y'all might already be aware and I've chatted with a lady working on other invasives along the trail. I live in Broadview 2nd and have been keeping my eyes out for it to keep it out of the neighborhood. I just wanted to bring it to someone's attention. The subreddit for invasive species seems to have the most up to date methods of attack and discussion I've found. Cutting it down only makes it angry and dig in/spread more. Feel free to call or text if you need any more information from me. Thanks Richard

A large portion of Pin oak on the west side of our home that is on city property just came down. We believe the rest of the tree is a hazard. Please contact me soon to assess the situation.

Sidewalks along S Wexley were milled to eliminate trip hazards but the connector sidewalk between Wexley Rd and the Winslow Sports Park walking/running trail got missed. There are four trip hazards along that sidewalk. They were marked to be milled, but got missed.

Well done! Those black gum trees up near the workout equipment in Bryan Park look very nice---color now (and again later in the fall, I assume)

The bug maple city tree in front of our house on S Washington (near the corner of Dodds) has a carpenter ant infestation at the base of the trunk. If treated immediately I think the tree can still be saved. Will the city do this? If not, may I do so? We don’t want to lose this beautiful tree.
