Southeast Park the water at the two fountain has not been turned on. Is there a reason or just an oversight? The dog is really disappointed.

The City has run an over-sized pruner along the sidewalk of our backyard, tearing up the ground and my flowers next to the sidewalk (depicted by the yellow circle in the picture). A piece of fence picket (blue arrow) of our neighbor's 2 houses away was torn down and thrown behind our fence. Our next door neighbor's hostas plants were also damaged. I don't know how the City can revive our plants, but the muddy sidewalk and the hanging clippings need to be cleaned up. We have been keeping our section of the sidewalk clear and clean. We appreciate the City trying to clear the entire length of the sidewalk, however an appropriate machinery needs to be used so as not to do more damage than good. The crew had done a very poor job in this case. I hope no heavy pruning machine will be used on the sidewalk in the future, especially after the City had just repaired these cracked sidewalk.
Curbside tree limbs need trimmed. They are hanging too low and scratching the top of cars/mailman. Thank you!
On E. Sheridan Drive, between Manor and Hawthorne, there are pine trees on the south side of the street by the creek. The furthest east tree is leaning over heavily towards the street and biking and walking path. There are parking spots under the tree and some power lines not far away that the tree might be able to hit when it falls. The tree has a heavy sideways tilt to it. The ground around the base of the tree is raised up. The creek bed behind the tree is eroding out. It seems like a matter of time before the tree falls over, uprooted on its own. Let this be the writing I will share with anyone who is injured by the pine tree falling that shows the City is on notice as to the inherent danger of a tree on City property that is in a state of ground heaving, appears ready to be uprooted, and could cause property damage, personal injury, or death due to the City's negligence in failing to remove the tree upon notice of the danger. Good luck. Please evaluate the tree and strongly consider preemtively removing it before it does any harm.
Dangerous Bradford Pear. 30ft tall. City came through trimming trees and left it where one half of the branches are gone on one side making it heavy on one side and the whole tree is leaning south looking to fall on neighbors driveway and car given the next big winds. Whole thing seriously just needs to be removed
Our property has a large locust tree that has lost several large branches in what we believe is the city right of way. One branch blocked the roadway until we were able to clear with our equipment. It has several additional large dead branches and the entire tree has a significant lean to the street and neighboring properties. It’s located just before our driveway which is actually on Pine Lane. Thank you.
Tree immediately in front of home on the street side of the sidewalk is in poor health. Most outer branches are not budding. Branches regularly break off during storms and I have concern that this tree as well as neighboring tree may fall at next significant wind storm. A previous report last year about this tree was marked as 'resolved' with a comment that it would be put on a list. However, I have no indication that this was ever followed up on.
Can the city check the Rail Trail and surrounding property to make sure the homeless aren't camping there again after being evicted and trespassed in 2024? There's some tents visible and tonight (4/21/25) it smells like burning trash again. Please continue to monitor this area and prevent the problem from returning. It's unsafe with the homeless by the trail and the problem needs to be kept at bay permanently. Thanks.
