THANKS for straightening up this sapling so quickly!
THANKS for straightening up this sapling so quickly!
There is a green/gray tent up towards the hill on the northwest interior of the Winslow Woods Nature park. Up a steep hill after crossing the small "river", halfway through the loop where the trail splits in 2. Smelled smoke nearby and noticed it the past few times I been up there.
Had an arborist out on another street tree (Japanese Cherry) that needs pruned badly and some dead removed, but is otherwise healthy. While there he looked at a Red Sunset Maple that I thought had a lot of dead in it, just in the last year. His appraisal was that it needed removed and since a street tree he suggested I give the city a call.
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.
Hello, I'd like to recommend that the city host watch parties for the Pacers NBA Finals games, possibly at parks like Switchyard. Thanks!
The restroom closest to the accessible parking at the lower Cascades playground has a clogged and overflowed toilet. It appears that the other restroom in the building is locked and unusable. So there are no restrooms on a Sunday at lower Cascades. Yeah I don't think
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.
Bathrooms are not unable next to playground
