1017 E. First. Yew and Vines obstruct sidewalk at front walkway
RRFB at allen&walnut doesn't work - northbound traffic does not yield. Went through twice on bike at about 9:30-10AM today (June 18), activated the beacon, and both times, SB traffic yielded and NB did not *at all*. I did not investigate the flawed design - that's planning&transportation's job.
Just west of Hunter ave and Jordan ave the southside sidewalk is blocked due to overgrowth.
NE corner of 17th&dunn. My kids are into riddle humor so maybe you'll enjoy this one: Q. What kind of licensed engineer puts a shared path to the right of a dedicated right turn lane where drivers don't even stop for a red light? A. The kind that ignores the MUTCD. Hahahahaha that's even funnier than the time my 4yo gave a long set up forthe punchline "buttcrack". But in all seriousness, the SE corner doesn't have a sidewalk connection for east/west peds and there are no painted crosswalks either. The MUTCD, bro, bible or nah?
Allen st greenway. Eastbound at walnut, the beg button is AWOL. It was too far from the roadway to be pushed by a cyclist anyways. The two-stage crossing (beg button in the refuge island) is worth nothing to me because I can only push it if my kids (trailer) are hanging out in the southbound traffic lanes. There is literally no traffic calming for northbound traffic on walnut here, which is still largely unwilling to yield even when the lights are in operation. The stop signs at Washington and Lincoln are facing the wrong direction. It is important to make allen inconvenient to drivers, but it is also essential to make it super convenient (and safe) for cyclists. The routes through bryan park suck for cyclists. Just reiterating a bunch of notes in case excellence ever becomes an interest of the city. Thanks!

traffic signals at college mall rd & covenanter drive and college mall rd & buick cadillac blvd used to blink yellow on college mall rd before 6am. now the signals are always on and often result in red lights on college mall rd when no traffic is present on cross streets. can we have the blinking yellow lights back please?
