Central @ Fell: This is improvement
My standards may be too low - these access paths are far from perfect and need a good sweeping, especially after the hordes using and abusing the park on Sunday. Several paths also need re-paving or repair. But the deep ruts and persistent puddles are way down. It could be from the change of seasons, from better or less use of the paths by trucks, or from the Rec and Park staff paying more attention (perhaps spurred on by complaints from neighbors). Whatever the cause, the change is welcome and reduces an eyesore. Even the big trucks that entered the park last week with porta-potties and trash containers didn't leave much evidence of damage.
Still muddy @ Ashbury from Fell
Here's the summary, showing Feb and May results side-by-side. There are fewer problems overall and no major problems east of Masonic. The worst problems are near Ashbury, which is likely a trouble spot because it's used most frequently by trucks for routine maintenance of the restrooms and playground.
Keep an eye on conditions at the entrance you use the most, and talk to your gardener about it, or use the 311 system to report the problem. It is possible to make a change.
Nice post, thanks for the update. Sure like to think that Rec and Parks is listening to neighbors' concerns.
ReplyDeleteThere is an ongoing problem at the Shrader entrance, near the north side, whenever it rains. It floods badly and doesn't drain. I'm surprised to see two years ago this pathway was marked as good consistently.
