I'm sorry there were so many typos in the last report I meant to say college Mall road but predictive text kept adding things on my phone and I'm sorry

When pressing the button to cross walking west across 3rd Street, cars turning right onto 3rd Street off of college avenue do not check for pedestrians and just gun it every time. The other issue is because the street is so wide, cars continue turning right onto college avenue off of 3rd Street as you're walking across and you have no idea if a big truck is in front of them. People also like to block the crosswalk with their vehicle on 3rd Street. Walking just a little further down, the same issue is common when trying to cross PLS drive and cars are continuously turning off of and onto PLS and 3rd Street without checking for pedestrians. I used to be a lot faster before my surgery, but they expect anyone walking to be quick and nimble and jump out of their way and back onto the sidewalk which can make you trip backwards and fall on your butt. I think that there is not enough to make drivers aware that there are pedestrians using that area as well even though there are buttons for crosswalks and painted lines on the road. Cars are only paying attention to the stoplights and other vehicles. I avoid this area whenever possible even though I used to love walking around the east side for exercise, doctor's appointments, and shopping. Some people even walk to the hospital. Not everyone using a crosswalk is a sports legend and I don't think that it's my responsibility to jump out of the way of fast moving cars after I've already started walking to cross the street after looking both left and right. Drivers need to understand that a pedestrian going west crossing 3rd Street cannot see vehicles coming behind them and turning right! I don't have eyes in the back of my head. There needs to be more bells whistles lights something to indicate to drivers that this is not safe.
When heading east on 7th st between Washington and Lincoln, we seriously need a sign pointing out to drivers that it is a bike lane only on their right. There's a lot of confusion with the parking lot entrances there. This is the 2nd time I've seen a car driving in the bike lane, then turn left on Lincoln.
The pedestrian yield light on the south side of the S Rogers and 4th St intersection is not working. Lights/audio have not been turning on when the button is pushed.
Difficult to cross the road at rush hours. Cars are going fast and don't stop for pedestrians. Very dangerous to cross.
On Sheridan Drive between E. Karen and S. Highland, the bike/pedestrian lane on Sheridan has a lot of gravel and sand and junk in it. This is on a downhill in a bike plane and covers most of the lane. Can this get cleaned up and swept off?
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.
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).
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.
