Yesterday I saw this young bicyclist ride along the entire ADA ramp to the top of Promenade and back down. Twice. This came as no surprise since there are no signs anywhere in the park prohibiting the riding of bikes. In fact, there are no signs at all in the new entrance to the park, not even one welcoming patrons or identifying the park. We have Rob Perry to thank for all of this. Apparently, he is fine with cyclists using the ADA ramp and pedaling around the main area of the park as they please. Pedal bikes, electric bikes, electric scooters, skateboards -- whatever, it doesn't matter one bit!
Our DPW Superintendent, who is without a doubt a slob, also had the dog waste station moved to the top of the stairs in the main part of the park. Until very recently, it used to be less conspicuously and more appropriately located in this grassy section halfway up the staircase (though I think there shouldn't be one to begin with):

Why city residents and taxpayers are subsidizing dog owners who can't remember to bring their own dog shit bags is beyond me. And what portion of the dogs visiting the park are crapping there whose owners don't arrive with bags? Of course, now that the station is at the top of the stairs, any loose bags that make their way out of the station (kids love to pull them out) will end up blowing around the park, stuck in trees and bushes, and have a good chance of winding up in the river and into the stomach of a striped bass or a 100-year-old sturgeon perhaps.
For this we should thank Rob Perry.
How long do you suppose DPW's spray paint will remain at the top of the steps, welcoming everyone to the million-dollar view?

All told, it's typical work from Rob Perry's DPW.
