Vegetation is blocking half of the southbound bicycle lane, which was already too narrow.

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?
Multi-use path from meadowbrook drive is overgrown. please trim it back for walkers/bikers. Also would love a ramp down into Fenbrook Ln from this path. Big thanks to the crew that handled storm debris on clarizz path/ cleaned up the shortcut from clarizz to Latimer Rd!
I send this picture to simply point out that this vehicle is blocking what would be the bike lane on Washington between 4th and 3rd St's if it were painted there, but since there is no bike lane, it isn't blocked.
At the corner of Wilton and Greenbriar Lane, the sidewalk goes around the corner without going to the street. There are many kids from Beechwood Manor, Arden Place, and Greenbriar Hills neighborhoods who use this sidewalk to get to the crosswalk on High Street at the Wimbledon initersection on their way to Child's elementary.
Large amounts of debris, plant overgrowth, and logs in the road
There is loose gravel and sand in curb area, some of which is in the pedestrian path area.
Cars cut through Matlock Heights to avoid the light at Walnut/Bypass. We need traffic calming here to slow traffic down. Cars are driving at high speeds and not watching out for walkers and children biking. This has been a major issue during the construction which is happening now on Walnut and the Bypass, but is also year round.
The sidewalk between these two houses has one step up and one step down. This increases the walking distance to the park if one is using a stroller, wheel chair, or bike, by a quarter mile if they live in the southern section of Sherwood oaks 2. Why not 2 ramps????
