Sidewalk missing. Hazardous and dangerous for walkers.
Sidewalk missing. Hazardous and dangerous for walkers.
Sidewalk on west side of Lincoln, just north of 11th is below street grade and floods every time it rains.
Twice now over the past 4 days, I have been walking in the middle of this crosswalk across High St, and a car coming the other way does not stop and drives around me, once when I had two children behind me. Both were white female drivers in their 60s/70s. Perhaps their vision does not see the white painted crosswalk area OR the yellow signs, but I'm thinking they are choosing to break the law. Mateo is a wonderful crossing guard, but he was not there either of these two times. This area needs to be repainted with high visibility/reflective paint, a blinking light on the signs, or at the very minimum, monitored by police for a while. Someone is going to get killed.
The crosswalks across E Maxwell Lane in between Henderson and Woodlawn are all quite faint- especially in comparison to the new crosswalk at Mitchell and Maxwell Lane. Cars do not stop because I do not think they know they are crosswalks. Can these please be repainted brighly with reflective white paint?
Vegetation is blocking half of the southbound bicycle lane, which was already too narrow.
Several people walk/bike through this area. When it is dark it is difficult to see people who are walking in the road. Recommend a walking path and/or additional lighting.
Debris in the bike lane got into my front wheel and caused damage. Bike lanes really need to be cleaner. I wasn't hurt, but it could have been much worse.
There is a lot of sand and debris in the bike lanes on College and Walnut as they go under the railroad bridge. It's dangerous because it's difficult to get traction and keep from spinning out and falling into a lane of traffic.
No attempt to clear snow from sidewalk
Under the train bridge on N College, there is more than an inch of sand in the bike lane. It is effectively impassable by street bike.
