Need to get rid of the lilies too.

Huh. Is that definitely the species that is growing there in the lake? If so, it is not only invasive, but it collects trash. I vote to rip it out (if invasive).

Good news! As part of this year's Carefest being held this coming Saturday the 27th, a clean-up in/around Crescent Lake has been scheduled, and part of that effort will include the removal of the overgrown aquatic vegetation. Good timing, considering the photo in this issue report :)

Anyone who is interested in volunteering can join City staff for this or many other projects in the community this coming Saturday morning - here's some additional info: http://www.stpete.org/news/2014/6-23-2014_carefest_seeks_volunteers_for_citywide_work_day_september_27.asp

Update from Community Services: aquatic vegetation was removed on 9/27 by volunteer groups from Shorecrest, Project 10 Sting Ray, and Friends of Crescent Lake. That last group holds monthly clean-ups to remove debris and is always looking for volunteers to take part in that effort. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Thanks for fixing this issue!

Cleanup looks great! Thanks everyone who helped.
