Lacking accessible sidewalk ramps in Sherwood oaks neighborhood.
Lacking accessible sidewalk ramps in Sherwood oaks neighborhood.
There is a large and active hornets' nest in the juniper tree where the Bryan Park walking trail converges with the Henderson St. sidewalk. The nest is on the east side of the tree and is partially hidden by the branches.
There are several city tree's growing out of the side walk that are touching the building at 108 East 6th street that need to be trimmed back.
Large pile of mulch has been in the front yard along the street for several months, weeds and mold are growing in the pile. This occurs yearly.
There is a syringe along the road about half way between 6th and 7th on Oak street. It is right across the street from the very large sycamore tree on the west side.
From Reddit Bloomington: Fiber cables damaging sewer lines We live right next to Bryan Park. About a week ago our toilet backed up, and after multiple visits from our (very honest and reasonable) plumber, we discovered that the city's fiber optic internet contractor had carelessly run an optic cable directly through our sewer line. This caused a ton of debris to get into our drain pipe and completely clog the pipe, necessitating a $10k repair. I called the city and apparently, this is happening to people all over town. (The person in the utilities office said I was the third person to call today with this exact problem, and our plumber said that this contractor got thrown out of Carmel for damaging so many sewer lines).
I saw this Walking with Ease sign at Bryan Park. For people with arthritis or poor balance or impaired vision / hearing or other such issues would walk around the asphalt paths with greater ease and sense of safety if some "Cyclists Yield to Pedestrians" signs were posted. This is especially true of the path through the middle of the park, which connects cyclists between the Allen Street Bicycle Boulevard and the Southdowns bike-ped lanes. I would suggest a sign at each end of that path, on the the Henderson and Woodlawn sides. I walk there frequently with my dog and friends. Cyclists approach from in front and behind. We pedestrians usually make room and sometimes the cyclists do. Sometimes they let us know when they come up from behind, but not always. Some signage could end the confusions over right-of-way. Keep in mind that the mid-path curves. That is pleasant and would be safer if cyclists slowed down and anticipated other users. Defensivei cycling, the cycling version of defensive driving. Thanks!

A question about pipe draining into Sheridan Creek. What is draining, from where? Over more than a decade I have observed the bank erode away from the pipe and the concrete support move (or is the pipe pulling away from the bank)? As a frequent Park visitor i am curious about what's going on with the pipe. Thanks for any info you can share.
Stephen was asking about the city's response to Malibou house as he is a resident of the street on which one of their houses is located and expressed that he is already dealing with the effects of slummy properties, and this is making it much more difficult to deal with. He complained about noise, traffic, and the overall parking nightmare that has become of his culdesac.
