I'm not sure if you are aware, but they are resurfacing Washington and that makes this the PERFECT opportunity to do something here that makes sense, ie: not paint a line and say it's for bikes and hope/pretend that cars don't park in it, because they will. The easiest and most obvious solution is to do nothing, or at most paint a "sharrow". Simple fact is: a car can't block a bike lane if it isn't there.
Hey—-whatever happened to making Covenator a better bike route for east-west travel with a safer collegeMall rd crossing. At least bike lanes! Its been years of anticipation!
Vehicle is blocking bike lane this morning. Off street parking was available a few feet away.
At the southeast corner of Lincoln and Third, in the crosswalk across Third, there's what looks like a recent asphalt patch with a hole that seems to pose a tripping hazard. It looks like the asphalt sunk in or subsided after it was applied.
Request to add a "DO NOT STOP ON TRACKS" sign to the crosswalk of Pete Ellis and the Polly Grimshaw Trail. Cars constantly stop on the tracks when yielding to pedestrians rather than stopping before or after.
Can you please, please, please get the crosswalks and stop bars repainted before winter? It is already a dangerous intersection
Pedestrian signal crossing College mall is short. Community member let me know she struggles crossing as a pedestrian in the time allotted. Please check signal length. Thank you!
The easement on the south west side of the roundabout in front of Bentley Court is so overgrown that the vegetation is impending on the sidewalk. Additionally, it is impossible to walk a bike up the hill next to the sidewalk because of the vegetation. The steps continue to pitch steeper and steeper each years. Please investigate who is responsible for clearing this overgrowth and devise a plan to build and accessible path to connect the paths along Winslow to the Jackson Creek Trail/High Street Trail
The unimproved city owned right of way of Alexander St, between 10th St and the B-Line, has recently been occupied by neighbors. The right of way is used as a walking route by the neighborhood in conjunction with the B-Line. It hasn't escalated to conflict yet, but it is currently a little awkward. Adams St is a lot less pleasant to walk on than Alexander. Adams is noisy with car traffic, often cluttered with trash cans, very unpleasant in the rain and utterly unusable in the snow when the snowplow plow the snow out of the street onto the sidewalk. There's plenty of on street parking on 10th. The unimproved route is a bit muddy in wet weather, and it would be good if there was a sidewalk connecting the street network with the B-Line (much like the B-Line - Butler Park connector on the southeast side of the railroad overpass over the B-line). While the route on the Alexander ROW (on the west side of Rick's Towing lot) needs to be defended, if a connector is to be codified in asphalt, the Summit St ROW (on the east side of Rick's towing lot) would be better and serve more people (especially because of the walkway on BHA property between 11th +12th Sts, west of the the gas station and the Boys and Girls Club) if a connector was to be built.
The HAWK crossing on S Walnut St between Switchyard & the B Link has some serious safety issues due to drivers not stopping for the flashing red light. I have witnessed even BPD officers blow through this. If our own cops can't figure out how it's supposed to work, I have no confidence in regular drivers. I have nearly been hit at this intersection multiple times due to drivers either not stopping for the flashing red or blowing through the solid red entirely. This corridor is in the highest priority tier on the city's safe streets map so I am hoping Planning or Engineering can look at ways to improve this intersection. Even just increasing the solid red timer would help in the short term, but this HAWK crossing doesn't seem to work well in general compared to the ones on Country Club or the new one on the rail trail on S Rogers.
