Ok so after talking to the Public Works, Animal Control, Burlington Northern Railroad.......nothing has been done yet!!!! The grass is now almost 5 feet tall. The six foot deep hole is still open. I have talked to so many people I don't who to turn to now. I have called Minot Daily News and KXMC to see if maybe a story on it will help push someone. No calls back yet but that has only been a day or two. The weather is nice but still can't play in the yard. I sent an email to one of the head guys at the railroad company but is only comment was " If your already working with Jim, then he will do something if needed."..............My husband & I have already been lunged at by the cats and I'm NOT having that happen to my kids or my daycare children. It will be $2500 to have the smaller part of my yard fenced in. I have called landscaping companies but they can't cut (and recommend I don't either) the railroads land. So what do I do??? Do I sit in my house and only go to parks and drag 5 or 6 kids to local parks, day after day when I have water toys and outdoor activities!!?? It's so unfair to all of us and I can't even do anything. I even asked to just give me a release to be able to have the grass cut by someone or my husband but nothing. I guess I just wait for a child to get lost in the grass and fall in the hole!!! Can anyone help???
