Public Works PLUS

The park was mowed recently (Thank-you!) but...between the poison ivy, bittersweet, ticks and mosquitoes, it would be great to have the overgrowth trimmed back from pathways, walkways and even the pond.

The issue: bicycles & pedestrians on the Canal Trail are not stopping at the stop sign at 3496 Whitney Avenue in front of M&T bank. Ignoring this stop sign is especially dangerous because vehicles turning into the parking lot from Whitney Ave might not realize the Canal Trail crosses the entrance to the parking lot. Even if you are aware of the Canal Trail and watching the Trail as you turn some bicycles are going so fast that they are not within view until your vehicle is turning into the parking lot. If you go watch from the M&T lot for 5 minutes you will see at least close accident between a vehicle and a bike at this intersection.

3 shopping carts near Sanford Street canal bridge

On the canal trail on one of the hills when going south past the Sanford st over pass (before the tunnel)there is a patch of gravel and dirt/mud from all the rain we’ve had. When going down the hill it makes for a dangerous bike ride especially when someone is coming up the hill. Is there anyone who can sweep/shovel it off to make for a safer ride? The Smilow Closer to Free 25 mile riders will be traveling on this in September.

The upper bridge over Eaton Brook on the Canal Line has a single plank that is raised well above the rest of the surface. There is a risk of injury to users due to this condition.

The gate at Legion Park playground is broken. The side closest to the baseball fields.
