Sorry for the duplicates earlier today -- the georeporter android app has bit-rotted something fierce. There is ongoing gravel in the bike lane on the south side of Smith Ave just east of Walnut St. This is a repeat of ureport #198967, which was never resolved. Recently, landscapers have refreshed the gravel in the median strip. And when they did so, they spread gravel directly in the bike lane, and they also over-filled the planters so that gravel continues to drain into the bike lane. This is a transportation safety issue and not a zoning issue!!! If Parks and Planning can't do anything about it, something still needs to be done about it! Thanks - Greg
There are uneven pavements and metal plates leftover on the bike lane after recent roadwork (possibly drilling) in the last two weeks between 3609 and 3617 E 3rd St (north side/westbound). This creates two big bumps on the bike lane. Not sure if the roadwork has been finished or it will resume soon.
There is excessive sand and gravel in the bicycle lane on N. Walnut St. from 17th Street to Old State Route 37. This creates a sliding hazard for bicyclists in close proximity to high-speed motor vehicles.
I originally reported piles of sand and gravel in the bicycle lane – from Old State Route 37 to 11th Street – on July 10 (Case 204099). When nothing was done, I submitted another request on July 26 (Case 204511). Six weeks have now elapsed, and the sand and gravel are still there. Why does it take so long for the city to remove bicycling hazards?
Broken glass in bike lane
There is a large amount of sand in the road next to the bicycle shop.
The sand and gravel in the bicycle lane was never removed (from Old State Route 37 to 11th Street), even though it was reported 16 days ago. See Case #204099.
Large amounts of debris, plant overgrowth, and logs in the road
I was riding in the Woodlawn bike lane today going south and it was full of rocks and debris. It ended up popping my bike tire. Please keep the bike lanes clean, especially on busy roads like Woodlawn where riding into the road would have gotten me hit by a car.
