Parking is unclear at the Roswell Fine Arts Alliance on Fouts Road. Some of the parking bars are at an angle while some are parallel to the road. Also is it a one way in one way or parking lot?

The 1 mile walking trail at Sweet Apple Park is in serious disrepair. The surface has not had any maintenance since it was installed years ago. Washouts, standing water in plugged up retention areas, numerous mud puddles and overgrowth areas make the trail almost unusable on some occasions. I sent a series of pictures to the City Administrator, Mr. Palmer who has referred this situation on. Please advise as what can be done or where we the users of the park where to go for assistance.

The recent attempt to address the walking trail conditions at Sweet Apple Park has not been successful. Last week a maintenance crew applied a thin layer of crushed rock on the 10 muddy areas of the trail. One rainfall later each is again as they were before. These areas need raised at least two inches with crushed stone forcing the water off to the sides of the trail.

Multiple roots lifting the bike trail pavement between Azalea Park and Willeo. Particularly between the entrance to the boardwalk and Willeo. A bike going over these roots could launch the rider off of the bicycle if they do not anticipate the roots and stand up while crossing them. Please either grind up these raised areas, or at a minimum paint them with some type of yellow hazard reflective paint.

Generally, the City takes good care of its facilities. Thank you

However, in recent months the courts at Hembree Park have not been getting much love. It is my understanding that the courts will be resurfaced late summer - I hope that is the case still.

The Court 3 center strap was a couple of months ago and last week the broken cable on the court 3 net appears to have been replaced after I called last Thursday. Also, it appears some court rollers are back in service but still not enough to roll four courts for a match. Thank you.

Unfortunately ...

1) There are still three lights out (on courts 1, 3, 4) - initially reported last fall and reported twice since this year.

2) The poison ivy (fence along court 2 and 4) was not cleared in the winter when it was "dormant" so now it is invading thr court and not a good situation esp after a rain fall. There are also weeds coming up through the cracks in the courts.

3) The center net strap on court was rigged up by me with a carabiner clip and zip ties three months months ago - and it is still like that. All it needs is a double snap bolt - not a center strap. I would go to the hardware store and get one BUT the City Facility group should be monitoring the facility equipment periodically. :-)

A portion of the river walk trail floods at high water levels. Since this section consistently floods is it possible to elevate this section in some fashion?

Vehicles speed thru the back area of RAP during the day. Police presence or a speed bump need to be installed on the strip of roadway near the pressbox. Crabapple Middle School students use the crosswalk and should not be in harms way when vehicles are flying through the park during the day hours.

Recently, I believe the city or Roswell paid to have some landscaping done at the intersection of Willeo and Azalea ; lots of scrubs were planted along with three trees. two of the trees are fine, but the third tree appears to be quite dead; a common problem when trees are shocked by being transplanted. just thought the city should know about it before it is too late to ask the landscaping company to replace the dead tree at their expense instead of the city of Roswell.

There is a lot of trash along Azalea Drive (the river side ) in the right of way and adjacent to the path, basically from Hwy 9 to Willeo including broken glass (near the boardwalk entrance that crosses to Willeo). Are there any planned cleanups?
Thank you.

The lights on street and pedestrian paths that lead to the East Roswell Recreation Center from Eves Rd are out at night.
