Trees next to the bike/ped path have low-hanging branches that need to be trimmed so they don’t hit people in the face.

There are a series of deep potholes between Adams St and North Waldron that are both difficult to see at night and difficult to avoid during the day with cars parked alnog the street. It needs repaving. I have recently popped two of my bike tires on this road that I commute on multiple times daily.
A bike is very much needed in front of or near The Book Corner. There’s nothing available on this end of the block forcing people to lock to streets signs.
Restaurants on the north side of the 100 block of E Kirkwood are completely taking up the ENTIRE STREET. Pedestrians can still use the sidewalk, but what are bicycles supposed to do? Restaurant outdoor dining tables are curb to curb (and out of 35+ tables on a Sunday afternoon, exactly 1 table had customers.) It would be a lot better for private businesses to set up to SHARE the public street rather than make it impossible for bicycles to get through without taking a detour or dismounting.
Sidewalk obstructed by vegetation
I had an unpleasant near miss biking the small connector trail that Weatherstone down to Highland Ave. At the bottom of the hill, a scooter was on its side, in the middle of the pathway. It was not visible until almost right on top of it, and I came close to wiping out. The city needs to find a solution to scooters that are abandoned haphazardly on sidewalks and bike trails. This is not the first incident I've had, and certainly won't be the last. Eventually someone will get seriously hurt.
The yellow flashing lights for pedestrians and bicyclists to use at Allen St. crossing Walnut are not working on the west side.
Broken bike rack. Please fix soon. Location in front of Soma coffee shop. Mmmm coffee...
There should be a barrier between the Moose parking lot and Smith so that cars don't park in the road (causing bikes to exit their lane).
Just past Woodlawn in the Southdowns bicycle/pedestrian lane the is a ~10x3 foot asphalt patch probably covering some utility work. The north side of has opened a 2 inch gap in which grass is growing. This makes 10 foot long slot and the front wheel of my bike got caught in the slot causing me to fall this morning. I was not injured but this slot is a clear hazard.
