This evening a crashed off my bike while making a tight turn off of Atwater onto Swain. This was caused by gravel, mud, and leaves washed down Swain to the intersection with Atwater. Fortunately, I only scraped my knee, riuned my pants, and got muddy because I was traveling fairly slowly. Several times over the past couple of years I have reported debris (dirt, sand, gravel, mud, etc.) at this intersection. Each time the street sweeper or someone would eventually clean it up. However, if anyone were to give this situation the slightest thought, it would be apparent why this is a recurring problem. Gravel and dirt wash down to this this corner from the alleys off of Swain. Failure to install curbs, retention mechanisms, and proper drains and/or paving the alley is necessary to solve this problem. Failure to do so will result in further accidents and harm.

Can we please get a barrier like cones to partition the bike lane on third? This would help bikers feel safer and actually use the lanes and cars from blocking other cars and buses and creating problems by CONSTANTLY parking in a no parking area by slowing down and pulling over. I get annoyed as a driver but would be even more mad if trying to bike or driving a bus.

The city has a long history of not clearing snow, ice, and other debris from the parts of the bike lane on 3rd street that go between the sidewalk and the raised bus stop platforms. The new barriers designed to prevent car drivers from using the bike lane to drop off passengers seem to be compounding the issue, making it impossible for ordinary snow plows to clear the bike lane. Does the city have any plan at all for cleaning the bike lanes with these barriers in place?
The job that was done of plowing the bike lane on 3rd between High and Eagleson was not stellar - there are many places where ice extends more than halfway into the bike lane from the curb, increasing the risk of someone slipping on the ice and falling into the path of an unsuspecting car. But we can be thankful that some attempt was made. The bike lane between Eagleson and Henderson is not only useless for bicyclists, but it is now a much greater impediment to pedestrians crossing 3rd than it was prior to the installation of the barriers.
