The signage on the streets for the motorists that intersect with the BLine as well as the signage for the pedestrians and cyclists on the BLine aren’t consistent. I worry that an accident will occur. Cyclists, pedestrians don’t know if drivers will stop. Some do, some don’t. Attached is one photo. The rules/expectations seem to be different for each intersection. Thank you!
As a pedestrian commuter on the B-Libe, I experience daily near misses with the electronic motorcycles that are going over 30mph, screaming "get the fuck out of my way" and popping wheelies while nearly hitting me, manual cyclists, pedestrians, children, and people in wheelchairs and assisted mobility devices. Picture above is from this morning as the children began to pop a wheelie while standing on the bike seat. I am aware of many such complaints. You need to do something before someone is seriously injured or killed as has happened in other cities.
Drivers turn off and on to Grant Street even when pedestrians are using the crosswalk crosswalks are unsafe both on Grant and 3rd Street
Drivers are not stopping for pedestrians who have reached the crosswalk first or are already crossing and halfway in the middle of the road daily issue has always been an issue
Crosswalks at both Lincoln and Grant are treated as mere suggestions by drivers even when a pedestrian has arrived to the crosswalk first and or is already crossing and halfway in the middle of the road
Hi - I am one of the owners of Friendly Beasts Cider writing regarding our new location at 615 N Fairview St. I am wondering if it would be possible to get a new bike rack put it at the intersection of Fairview and the B-Line trail. I don't think there's a bike rack at Rogers St., so it would be the only bike rack between Adams and 8th St. on the B-Line (I think!). Cicada Cinema is also moving into the same building, so there will be a lot more people coming to that area. It is also right by the walking path from the B-Line to Butler Park. I noticed there appears to be lot of room on the east side of the intersection of Fairview and the B-Line where a bike rack could go. Thanks for your consideration, let me know if I can provide any other information that might be helpful or if there is a specific department I should reach out to. Thanks!!
I live upstairs, so I usually park my electric bike at the bottom of the stairs. This morning, when I went down to get it for school, it was gone; I found the lock cut and saw that someone had left some items nearby. That bike is my most valuable possession, so please help me get it back.
The utility work along the Hinkle-Garton Farmsetead has routinely left gaping holes with little warning or no protection. Despite the lack of sidewalk, pedestrians still use this side of the road. This has been a broken leg waiting to happen. I have photos of 5-6 places over the last several weeks where this has happened
Pedestrian Crosswalk needs better markings and lights. This crosswalk at N. Fee Lane and Foster Drive has terrible markings - the paint is faded on the roadway and it is hard to see as a driver, especially at night. This crosswalk is used by many students daily and should be made more safe as my daughter was almost hit by an SUV while on the sidewalk waiting to use the crosswalk this past weekend. A car had stopped at the crosswalk for the pedestrians and an SUV that came up behind that stopped car decided to not stop and passed the stopped car on the right, in the bike lane, going approximately 30 mph just missing my daughter and her boyfriend. Please paint this crosswalk and add the flashing lights in the ground and around the crosswalk sign to make this a safer crosswalk and more visible to drivers.
The city never cleared the snow from the bicycle lane after the January storm. As a direct consequence, the melting piles of snow left mounds of debris when they melted – similar to glacial till. Please clear the debris from the bicycle lanes on N. College Avenue and N. Walnut Street, which has been there for nearly 3 weeks now.
