Ward 2

Douglas Park is a MESS...there are no swings, the surrounding fence is a rusty safety hazard, the sand is full or garbage, feces, and unknowns, and most of the kids in the neighborhood go to other parks to play now. A major face lift, or complete change to the park, would be so great for this community of families with small children. One idea would be to mimic Minneapolis Parks with their free, fenced in splash parks! Douglas Park seems like the perfect place for a splash park!

There is a fence with grapevines out of control. The vines are growing into the trees, suffocating all, growing on my house. Weeds are growing rampant. The vines are 20 feet tall, invading my house and garden. The fence is ancient and needs to be replaced. I am extremely fed up. I posted a complaint about this fence over a month ago, and still have not heard anything.

This fence is probably 50 years old. Calling it an eye sore is a compliment. The chain link is detached from the top rail by 1 foot in several places. There is a giant tree stump on our property, grown into fence. This is the city of St Paul's tree. The fence is rusty and has many sharp protruding metal pieces. I have insured myself on it several times and cringe every time a kid sticks there arm under it.
It needs a retaining wall. All the trash and leaves blow into our yard because of the downward slope, and the huge gap between the ground and the chain link. There are chunks of asphalt that also have come loose from what looks to be some attemp from keeping the earth and the trash from relocating.
This fence is not only ugly, but dangerous. Doulas park neighbors need a new fence.
We have made several attempts with various city officials to no avail.

Doublas park upkeep is so bad! Not only is there an ancient rusty fence, but big old chuncks of concrete under the fence. There are grapevines invading my yard, the trees, and weeds are taking over the play sand

Holy moly! Smith Ave is a mess! basically from the bridge to Annapolis! If cars don't get ruined from potholes it will be from accidents with people trying to avoid them!

I posted a complaint a view days ago about the weed taking over the park/sand and how the grapevines are totally out of control. Although I appreshiate the speedy attention my request got, the actually response has got to be a joke.
I am posting pictures, there you can see the rediculous attempt at containing the weeds and the grapevines. Pretty much nothing has changed.

Please trim the tree in front of the stop signs going North on Orleans (both at Robie and Cherokee). All my visitors drive right through the stop sign at Robie because it is hidden by tree brush. Thank you!

The park lights in Douglas Park are on during the daytime but off at night, leaving the park pitch black. As this has in the past been a location for juvenile crime, having park lighting is ESSENTIAL.
