Hello- There are often cars blocking the bike lane on west bound 4th St between College and Walnut. This was never an issue before becasue there was no bike lane here. The most obvious solution would have been to not put a bike lane here, or to have made it protected, but since a line has been painted notating a "bike lane" I wonder if there's anything the city can do to keep cars from blocking it. thanks!
The all way stop put in at Smith and 45 will likely cause confusion and/or problems between cars and bikes. There is a very big shoulder there and as a cyclist I have always ridden on the shoulder through this intersection. Westbound on a bike you come to this intersection at relatively high speed and if you have taken the should there's really no need to wait behind cars. I believe that is where the potential for confusion will be. If, say, there are 5 cars at the stop sign, should bikes not use the shoulder and wait in line with cars? Should they use the shoulder, but wait with cars? Should they blow by the line of cars? Should they slow, but still roll past the line of cars? While I am generally against "pained bike lanes" I think some sort of signage/lane could make sense here.
when crossing college mall road the north crosswalk doesn’t work. have to just hope for the best when crossing
There are low areas from the pavement that are ackward and present safety concerns for walkers and joggers facing traffic while heading S on this narrow road way so, clean fill dirt is being requested that can more closely match the height of the roadway and make it safer to step aside when necessary without a significant danger of loosing ones balance.or causing an accident by an abnormal roadway height difference as the roadway shoulder more closely needs to matched to the asphalt height.
There have been several obstructions in the "walking area" near the road all winter, which is already made smaller by an overgrown honeysuckle bush that pushes pedestrians into the road on Matlock just over a blind hill with limited space for two cars. The honeysuckle bush is directly in the path, and just before it are a bunch of wire planter cages also blocking the path and creating a dangerous impediment to walking. I once tried to just pick them up and move them, but they seem to be held to the ground. They have been smashed down, but are now creating a slippery surface (even without the ice now covering them). They cover a small hill leading into the honeysuckle tree, and I recently fell trying to cross them, which put me dangerously close to passing cars. While the space across the street is actually better for passing, it is generally unpassable, as it does not get mown, and is allowed to grow up tall with weeds the majority of the year. I added a photo--very difficult to see the wire cages, so I have circled them in the photo. They are also difficult to see in real life, which makes them more hazardous. I think these items belong to the house inside the fence, rather than the log cabin, just fyi.
The sloped driveway next to Waterview Apartments has calved another "asphalt iceberg" – which has slid into the bicycle lane, completely blocking it. This is very dangerous for bicyclists on a speedway where cars routinely go in excess of 50 miles per hour.
There are large and hazardous amounts of debris in the bicycle lane on N. College Ave. from Old State Route 37 to 11th Street.
Case #202043 was not resolved. Zach Bell did NOT remove the debris from the bicycle lane. The attached photo was taken at 5:24 PM on April 16 (yesterday).
Case #202042 was not resolved. The bicycle lane on North College Avenue has NOT been swept recently. Please stop posting lies. There are large and hazardous amounts of debris in the bicycle lane at irregular intervals on N. College Ave. from Old State Route 37 to 11th Street.
