Re: Case 184904 Attn. John Hewitt, Anna Killion-Hanson Update: The enclosure fences have been constructed just this week. The pooling water continues to be an issue. Thanks -
This might be a GIS issue but filing it under "other". I am interested in you determining land ownership of the land along the railroad tracks that is behind my and my neighbors property. Parallel to E. Longview and beside the railroad tracks is land that I believe might be CSX property but not sure. Me and many of my adjacent neighbors whose property line the tracks are combating Poisen Hemlock. WE are working with MC-IRIS as a ID and instructive agency as we plan to address the small plants this Spring. We wish to know who is the owner of the land and potentially seeking their support. It is in line with the Polly Grimshaw trail which will be treated soon for Poison Hemlock. Thank you --
A report from a neighbor identifying a storm culvert issue: a bicycle is in the ditch and about to enter the storm drain area that runs under the N. Glenwood West street. Need COB staff to pull the object out of the storm culvert and dispose of it. Thanks - Neighbor report to me: In addition to leaves clogging pipes on Morningside that have sent water and leaves into the street, Matt has a red bicycle stuck in the concrete chute emptying water from his front yard into the ditch and the exit under the street. It needs to be dragged out of there before it goes into the culvert under Glenwood West.
Complainant has visible black mold on flooring under the sink. Reported the issue over a week ago to Property Mgmnt. Maintenance said they would not replace because it is a newer board. The adjacent board had a hole in it from a water leak and was replaced. Also has concern about bathroom sink repair.
The playground at Park Ridge Park needs additional fill/fiber/woodchips/whatever it is called. There are areas of consistently exposed dirt, there are deep pits under the swings, and the distance between the bottoms of some of the slides and the playground surface has grown large. Additionally, there are areas of exposed dirt in the grassy areas around the playground in areas or erosion. It has been worse in the past, but still seems like it needs addressed to try to prevent additional erosion.
The water fountain is leaking in Park Ridge Park.
This is a repeat of a previous ureport as I haven't heard any updates on the previous ureport nor seen noticed action yet being taken to address this issue. There is bare ground at the playground structure at Park Ridge Park. There is need of new fill material in particular at points of high traffic (the bottom of slides, the bottoms of steps etc). Also - there is ongoing erosion at locations through out the park, in particular to the north of the concrete steps leading in to the park and to the north of the the playground structure. I suggest strongly trying to address this (and the other locations) sooner rather than later as previous experience suggests that these areas only get worse with time.
The water fountain is leaking. Water is seeping out around the base of the fixture. Thank you for addressing the erosion to the north of the steps leading up to the shelter and park. Also, there are multiple areas of erosion around the park. Notable areas are to the east of the shelter and to the south of the sidewalk on the south side of the playground structure but there are presumably other bare areas prone to erosion due to their location on a hill or in a high traffic areas. To prevent long term damage to the structure of the park and not having the shelter area turn in to a muddy mess, please address these issues.
There appears to be a termite infestation at the Park Ridge park on Longview Avenue.
We suspect the folks who mowed the Park Ridge Park on Friday blew large quantities of unmulched leaves and pine needles into our yard, in particular to a small stripe of yard. Given that 1) the city has already picked up leaves in our neighborhood and 2) we are trying to mulch (per the city's request) but given the large amount of leaves deposited in such a small area, we do not have a good solution for getting rid of these leaves. A a minimum, we request that Parks and Rec ensure that the mowing contractors do not blow leaves and pine needles out of the park (and ideally trail) into our yard.
