Sherwood Oaks Park
- Case Date:
- 8/25/2026
I have now multiple times seen homeless people making a new encampment here. Tents, hammocks, unsupervised dogs and all. It seriously frustrates me that this is one of the only safe, family friendly parks/trails and it is starting to become an encampment. What also concerns me is there are two schools and a church nearby, all of which have kids who walk or bike to school and use the trail to safely get there. People living here also means destroying what a beautiful area this is. The setup I saw near the creek today will undoubtedly bring trash and unwanted debris to the water and the surrounding areas. We should not continue to tolerate this in our parks and on our trails. It’s not helpful or caring to people who are clearly struggling to just let them continue doing illegal things like camping out in public spaces that are not campgrounds. I will continue to lodge complaints because the last thing I want to do is stand idly by and watch this great park become the next encampment.
Traffic Suggestions
N Maple St

Traffic has significantly increased (and at faster speeds) on N Maple between W 17th and W 11th since the speed bumps were installed on W 11th. We believe that traffic gets off the highway onto 17th, and then needs to get over to 11th to travel east. In the past much of this traffic routed down Monroe. Now, cars wanting to go east are instead taking N Maple, presumably to avoid the new speed bumps on W 11th. While no neighborhood wants increased traffic, Monroe is better suited than Maple to accommodate it, as there are good sidewalks and tree plots (N Maple has worse sidewalks and no tree plot). I would like to request speed bumps on N Maple.

This on West Third facing east, approaching the overpass going up the trail. The sign does not leave enough space for people with disabilities to pass according to the ADA. I see this often with construction signs, which are quite common this summer. Please instruct your employees and contractors to comply with the ADA. Thanks.
Street & Traffic Signs

We would love a couple speed bumps along South Madison st. Every day between 4:30-6:30 or whenever the Rogers and Country Club/Tapp intersection gets congested we get several yahoos ripping through here skirting that intersection. This is a pretty kid and family area. People of all ages are often outside riding bikes, walking dogsor whatever and it's not rare for someone to rip through here approaching 50mph. Even 35 on this small quiet street is excessive. I suppose this has been going on always but today I was nearly hit by a car going way too fast and blowing through the stop sign at Madison and graham. I know city stuff can be glacial in the best if days, but it's really getting out of hand now that students are back and traffic patterns have reverted away from our summer driving routes.

Trash and recycle bins are next to the street and old mattresses are leaned against the house. This has been going on for more than a month.

I really appreciate the traffic calming speed bumps that were recently installed on 11st. Can we get something similar between Adams and Fountain on 11th? It is a long flat stretch that people are driving at ridiculous speeds and also hot rodding thru late at night. There is increased pedestrian activity in this area and I would like to prevent an accident if possible. Thank you

Filing a noise complaint. They have continuously been having music blasting so loud that it can be heard in all the surrounding apartments. It's all hours of the day, especially late at night

Dead stoplight at college and Kirkwood
I called into utilities and was dismissed the operator would not call street because he said it was a power outage.
I saw no outage on the Duke outage map

Very unsafe to drive on N. Englewood Dr. due to the parking on the road. Literally forcing the right lane of traffic completely into oncoming traffic. The entire street is one lane. Near head-on collisions are daily.
