Re: Pleasanton Neighborhood Meeting reminder

I will be there and am hoping there will be others of you who attend and
will back me up on my complaints about how every city "cleanup" of the
Greenway along Pleasant Run Trail just east of Emerson & across the street
from our homes leaves it worse off than the time before: more trash, debris
and neglect. It took them 30 days to pick up a little over half of the
cuttings and branches they left along the Trail side on October 25. The
rest is still there, and the logs and branches still strewn over the rest of
the field mean that next spring their private contractor mowers will refuse
to mow it at all.

Also, one thought I had regarding "dead man's curve" on Pleasant Run is to
see if they would put a pedestrian walkway with flashing lights like they
have at the crossing at Michigan/Pleasant Run. They have adamantly refused
any other warnings/improvements, saying it is adequately marked. However,
as you know, because of the Pleasant Run Trail pedestrian bridge right there
at Poplar, many people who walk the trail cross Pleasant Run Parkway right
at the curve, up over the little hill to or from the bridge. It is
dangerous when there is traffic (afternoons & evenings especially), and that
is when most people are out walking dogs or enjoying a nice evening walk (at
least in nicer weather than today!!). So rather than pitching it as a
vehicle hazard, we can pitch it as an obvious pedestrian hazard. I know
people ignore Pedestrian Crossing signs, but it's better than nothing and
would give grounds for pedestrians scolding the speeding drivers as they are
trying to cross.

I know it's tough this time of year to find time to go out in the evening,
but I hope to see a number of you there on Tuesday the 11th.
