- 12/12/2012
Both sides of Smith Rd are not cleared. Duke Energy property, under the Indiana Railroad bridge, in front of Springmill apartments and the apartments at McCrackin. Bus stop access is impeded.
Treacherous bike riding jn "bike lanes" along Smith Rd. from E 3rd street up to 10th St. There are large sticks, large pieces of trash, grates that could cause tires to cause an accident. Bike lanes are no where near wide enough. You cannot count the 'gutter' area as a bike lane as its unevenness can catch tires and cause wrecks. Also, there must be several inches for a biker to be able to move over when a car comes around him/her dangerously close. You are asking for serious injury and even deaths if bikes are knocked out of the lane into the path of oncoming cars from either direction. I'd like to challenge anyone to try to stay in those dangerous, narrow lanes day in and day out on the commutes to work. If it is the law to allow bikers 3 feet for safety, cars need to see the definite boundaries of that 3 feet. Too many cars have passed me where I could reach out easily and touch the cars. They also pass me dangerously close to returning to their lane as oncoming cars approach.
Houses that run from 114 thru 210 N. Smith (on east side of road) push snow across street to west side of road making sidewalks impassable.
Cans at the curb for several days after trash pick up.
Trash spilling onto the sidewalk now. Another complaint was made on July 29, 2020
cans left at the curb on Friday, trash pick up day is Wednesday.
Also, cans left @ curb.
