I walk, run, onewheel and eat near this river walk on a frequent basis.
The amount of trash in the river, on the shore, on the grass, in the bushes, tents, shopping carts, etc, is just astounding. I hear of volunteers cleaning up along the river, if they do, I am ever grateful…..however, whatever is being done is woefully inadequate. The city needs to step in to say the very least.
For one example, I have seen a mattress thrown on the east shore of the river over a year ago. Still there, now covered in nasty slime and mold.
This river and river trail is one of the very few (if not the only) gems in Wichita. I am a transplant here, so Wichita is not even my town. Plus, since no police presence, gas powered mini bikes ride up and down it (very fast) several times a day. Very annoying, and dangerous.
The city of Wichita should be ashamed for the current state of the river and river trail. It is an embarrassment. We have a new mayor, so please don’t just sit on your hands and pass the buck, take action and give us the river walk we deserve (and keep it that way).
