There are two fairly large holes in the Washington Street bike lane between 8th and 9th streets.
There are two fairly large holes in the Washington Street bike lane between 8th and 9th streets.
There are several sidewalk cuts along Washington Street in front of the AT&T building that are covered with smooth metal pieces. These metal covers provide absolutely no traction when wet and are very dangerous for pedestrians. Can these please be replaced with the more common covers that have raised ridges to provide some traction?
Sidewalk on west side of Lincoln, just north of 11th is below street grade and floods every time it rains.
The corner of Moores Pike and Claris currently has flashing Yellow lights to help pedestrians cross Moores Pike. Drivers view yellow lights as a call to speed up not Stop. I walk there frequently but cars seldom slow or stop Sometimes the cars speed up, either to beat the light or to run over me. Perhaps it would help to change the lights to red which means Stop. Or install a regular stop light. Also, at the Southeast corner of Hillside Dr and College Mall Rd. The crossing light turns on when the vehicles turn right from Sare Rd onto Hillside Dr. This is very dangerous for the pedestrian since the corner is not visible to the cars turning right. Thank you Carol Reimers A concerned pedestrian

glass and debris in bikeway/bikepath
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.
This report is for the person that created #192463, in case they are checking on status. What you have reported has been reported before and obviously nothing has been done. The same thing has happened to others and me. I don't know what would constitute negligence on the city's part but... they have dropped the ball on this one. My $.02 is fixing the deep dip and drastically uneven surface at the intersection (that's what took me out) would be the least, installing a reflective post at the corners would be even better, or better yet a railing. Thank you for reporting your friend's experience and I hope they are not gravely injured and are doing okay. With any luck this will be addressed.
Gravel in sidewalk and street, Falling hazard.
On the 7-line at Washington, the flexi-post thing has been knocked down. Would you please fix it before move-in at IU? Thank you very much! I love the 7-line!
