Someone has left a small cat bed and placed out water and food at the Rogers Family Park (Goat Farm). The water and food dishes are close to the parking lot. I do not want my dog to eat food from the park and he almost got it before I saw it.
There is a pine tree along Woodlawn just north of Hillside that is leaning dramatically. Seems like a risk to both the nearby power lines and the street. Thanks.
The fruitless pear on the land between the sidewalk and street could use pruning. It is located to the left of our driveway when looking at our house. It's got some thick branches that could cause the tree trunk to split. We did not plant this tree.

Tree growing over trail, very unsafe for kids walking to school and bike riders.
If i reported every time a car was parked on b-line (daily) maybe someone would do something about it. Today around 2:45 or 3:00pm it was a city truck which i think had “856” on the side. When will you re-install the bollards at intersections?
Request for bike racks on either the east or west side of the splash pad restroom building. Our run club meets here and the nearest bike racks are next to the playground south of here. We have a decent number of cyclists during the summer who would all use these racks during our runs on Mondays/Wednesdays. I bike year round and so this would be a great quality of life upgrade for me personally as well. Thanks for the consideration!
Last February we reached out and requested that Parks clear several downed trees along the hiking trail behind Twin Lakes for our run group route. Parks came out within a couple days and cleared all of the downed trees including one huge one. I don't think I sent anything at the time but just wanted to give everyone a huge thank you for doing that for us - it helped so much. Everyone in our run group really appreciated the responsiveness and efforts from parks staff. Thank you so much!
A tree in the front lawn of this property has two large broken branches that overhang the street, and they've been so for a couple months now. A lot of people walk under these branches on their way to and from Highland Village Park, and it's only a matter of time before one or both of these branches detach and fall onto the street. Currently, you can hear them creaking and see them swaying with the wind. They need to be safely removed before they snap off.
The spring 2024 program guide has a dearth of diverse representation in the local photos. Check out the populations pictured - especially the largest/most prominent photos on the cover, p 15, p 24, p 28. Nearly all white people under 35. On a couple of other pages, people of color and older people are tiniest images. It would also be great to have images of people with disabilities in active settings, especially to highlight the inclusive recreation program.
