Sidewalk piece has began to rise up and protruding out of the ground 2 to 3 inches. With there being no bike lane I’m riding my transportation apparatus on the sidewalk. I wanted to bring this to your attention to see if it could get on the west of being fixed. Thank you so much for your time and consideration
The left turn light (turning into Culvers from eastbound lanes) has remained on RED for 10-15 minutes and is not cycling.
My husband and I frequently have to use this intersection to make a U-Turn to go back West on Third street. 99% of the time, people will not yield to the sign that says to yield to the U-turn and/or they run red lights from there or off of westbound 3rd street traffic. We have lost count of the many times we have came extremely close to getting hit and involved in an accident. Just the other day we again attempted, with our green arrow, to make a U-Turn and just when I began, two (both Westbound lanes) ran their red light and went straight; ironically with A State Trooper sitting right beside us! Traffic on W. Third has gotten way out of hand. We have constantly seen vehicles running red lights (many times two at once) not only there but all the way back to the W. Third and 69 bypass intersection along with improper lane changes that nearly hit us. We are scared and stressed to the max each time we go to out. Can someone PLEASE help?
The manhole covers on 3rd Street near the bike lane between Woodlawn and Indiana have sunken in, causing large dips in the roadway.
The stop light to turn out onto W 3rd from Kimble constantly remains red so no one can turn left onto W 3RD from Kimble. You have to find the "right spot" to get the light to change. I live in the neighborhood and am constantly getting stuck at this light waiting for it to turn green. I often have to reverse my car and pull up again and again to try and find the right location to get the light to change and it never seems to be the same spot.
The eastbound left turn lane's green arrow is running every cycle, even though there's pretty much never any cars in that lane - it goes to a driveway. This causes westbound traffic on Adams/3rd to wait needlessly for their green signal. I am assuming that this left turn arrow operates from a trigger wire in the pavement.
Hazardous conditions with no signage or traffic person assisting this sudden partial lane closure. Almost caused many collisions and could’ve hit workers in the road.
The curb at the southwest corner of this intersection juts out quite far into the lane. It is red and lower than the rest of the sidewalk. When there are cars waiting at the light, a sharp turn is necessary to avoid hitting them or this pointy curb, and it feels unsettling to swing out so far to the left where traffic is oncoming. On the southwest side of this intersection, the curb juts out into the lane. It's red and lower than sidewalk level. Turning right onto Patterson requires a driver to swing out to the left, close to oncoming traffic, as otherwise it's very hard to stay clear of the cars waiting on Patterson and this curb. Could the curb be changed, or the stop line for Patterson be moved several feet back?
The city has a long history of not clearing snow, ice, and other debris from the parts of the bike lane on 3rd street that go between the sidewalk and the raised bus stop platforms. The new barriers designed to prevent car drivers from using the bike lane to drop off passengers seem to be compounding the issue, making it impossible for ordinary snow plows to clear the bike lane. Does the city have any plan at all for cleaning the bike lanes with these barriers in place? The job that was done of plowing the bike lane on 3rd between High and Eagleson was not stellar - there are many places where ice extends more than halfway into the bike lane from the curb, increasing the risk of someone slipping on the ice and falling into the path of an unsuspecting car. But we can be thankful that some attempt was made. The bike lane between Eagleson and Henderson is not only useless for bicyclists, but it is now a much greater impediment to pedestrians crossing 3rd than it was prior to the installation of the barriers.
Campus bike riding lane not cleared of snow, all along campus.
