727 E 3rd ST

Case Date:
3/4/2025

er: The bike lane dividers on 3rd Street are very dangerous. Instead of parking all along the bike lane, where cyclists have a chance to filter into the main traffic lanes to get around cars, cars are parking right where the dividers end, and cyclists cannot jump the dividers to get into the main lane of traffic, so cyclists have to slam on their brakes in a bike lane full of gravel to avoid rear ending the cars. Please consider extending these dividers all the way to Indiana Ave, and make them cub for buses in the areas where buses need to pick people up.

Hello- There multiple cars blocking the bike lane on washington between 4th and 3r streets this evening a bit after 6 pm (as is often the case). I wonder if there's anything the city can do about this; "patrolling the area" is definitely not working. thanks!

Hello- There were multiple cars blocking the bike lane on Washington between 4th and 3rd Sts this evening a bit after 6 pm, as there often is. When there are 3-4 cars parked in the bike lane on this block, it really does cease to be a bike lane and is fully just a pick up/drop off lane for ride share drivers and pick up for davinci.  I wonder if there's anything the city can do about this? If anyone in the chain would care to hear, I have a simple solution that would 100% guarantee the bike lane would not/could not be blocked by cars. thanks again!

Hello- There are often cars blocking the bike lane on west bound 4th St between College and Walnut. This was never an issue before becasue there was no bike lane here. The most obvious solution would have been to not put a bike lane here, or to have made it protected, but since a line has been painted notating a "bike lane" I wonder if there's anything the city can do to keep cars from blocking it. thanks!

Hello-There are regularly cars blocking the bike lane on Washington between 4th and 3rd St's a bit after 6pm.I wonder if there's a way for the city to make it clear to ride share drivers and customers of DaVinci that this is illegal and that they cannot block the bike lane. When there are 3-4 cars parked in the bike lane here, it really is no longer a bike lane and instead is a pick up/drop off zone. "Sending people to patrol the area" is definitely not working.  Thanks!

The all way stop put in at Smith and 45 will likely cause confusion and/or problems between cars and bikes. There is a very big shoulder there and as a cyclist I have always ridden on the shoulder through this intersection. Westbound on a bike you come to this intersection at relatively high speed and if you have taken the should there's really no need to wait behind cars. I believe that is where the potential for confusion will be. If, say, there are 5 cars at the stop sign, should bikes not use the shoulder and wait in line with cars? Should they use the shoulder, but wait with cars? Should they blow by the line of cars? Should they slow, but still roll past the line of cars? While I am generally against "pained bike lanes" I think some sort of signage/lane could make sense here.
