on the south side of Smith Ave just east of Walnut St (the north boundary of 405 S Walnut, Chocolate Moose), there is a strip of gravel between the sidewalk and the bike lane. the gravel frequently enters the bike lane and has caused my kid to fall there. its my impression that planning dept zoning enforcement is supposed to prevent this landscaping choice?? ps the photo is old but the problem is still present today. thanks!!
northbound bike lane on rogers between 8th st and b line (part of the detour). i found a CBU detour sign partially blocking this bike lane and i carried it down to their construction site at the b line. then i encountered this storm drain, which is at least 3 inches below grade, from poor milling practices when the road was resurfaced last year. these partial obstructions make the bike lane more technically demanding than it should be. not a fair substitute for the all-ages all-abilities b line.
bridge over train tracks where rogers turns into madison (about 800ft north of 11th&rogers). NB bike lane (on east side of rogers) merge zone was inadvertently removed with new paint. originally, there was a merge zone (dashed white line) where the bike lane ends. when the bridge was resurfaced last year, they got the merge zone correct but added an extraneous solid white line north of the merge zone. when they repainted, they simply made the whole thing a solid white line. the current spot where the bike lane appears to end is a dangerous spot to merge. even with the striped line in the right place, this was an uncomfortable merge. it needs to be improved, not harmed. thanks!
Tree leaning into protected bike lane on the south side of adams (eastbound). Just north of cresent donut & furniture workshop. Hard to see
515 s. fess av. broken Glass on sidewalk for past 3 weeks
Debris, sand, gravel in both W 3rd bike lanes. Some parts are worse than others but the entire stretch from adams to I69 is a mess
Drainage grate partial removal on 10th at west side of rogers. I often pass over this grate on a bike when entering the b line after going down the big hill on rogers (southbound) and if i didnt notice this, i would literally die. Not sure if the trades district garage workers removed it or aome equipment tore it up or what but yowza!! YOW!! ZA!!
Allen st greenway. Eastbound at walnut, the beg button is AWOL. It was too far from the roadway to be pushed by a cyclist anyways. The two-stage crossing (beg button in the refuge island) is worth nothing to me because I can only push it if my kids (trailer) are hanging out in the southbound traffic lanes. There is literally no traffic calming for northbound traffic on walnut here, which is still largely unwilling to yield even when the lights are in operation. The stop signs at Washington and Lincoln are facing the wrong direction. It is important to make allen inconvenient to drivers, but it is also essential to make it super convenient (and safe) for cyclists. The routes through bryan park suck for cyclists. Just reiterating a bunch of notes in case excellence ever becomes an interest of the city. Thanks!
B-line lights are out between 6th st and 8th. About pole #105-111. Two blocks are uniformly dark.
Cars parked in bike lane on west side of college just south of train bridge (near 12th st). Still. Traditionally these complaints wind up on the desk of RayeAnn Cox and/or Danna Workman, which has not once resulted in a resolution in the five years I have been submitting this kind of complaint. Presumably not their fault, but I'm looking for results - you gotta do something different! Please forward this to someone who can do something about it instead. I have directly communicated with Adam Wason about blanket non-enforcement of cars blocking bike&ped infra, and he said he should be notified personally if non-enforcement continues. If you cannot figure out what to do about this, please forward it to him.
