Rideshare drivers (Uber, Lyft, etc) regularly stop and park in the middle of the bike lane at this location while they load up passengers from the nearby rental units. Last evening, I explained to one of them that it was not a place to park, but she just smiled, cackled, and drove off. Is this even a violation, or can they just stop anywhere they please for as long as they like? If it is a violation, and since it's so close to the police station, it seems like there could easily be an officer out there handing out tickets to teach them a lesson. Maybe they eventually will get the message that they don't own the roads.
West bound on 3rd st between walnut and Washington
Light for Cory lane traffic to turn east or west last 30 seconds! Why do two cars need 30 seconds while the 30 cars trying to go east and west get stopped so frequently? This is a nightmare in the morning. No cars even on Cory Lane and I'm stopping at a red light for no cars! It's been like this since W 3rd was paved. How long will it take to fix this one?
Dang turn signals turn on when no cars are in the turn lane. What's up with that? Makes me want to run the red light. I guess that is ok.

During a meeting with today that Mr. Hazen had with the planning department, he mentioned concerns about the vegetation in the median of 3rd Street in the vicinity of his property at 1900 West 3rd Street. His concerns include: the height and density of the median vegetation prevents visibility across 3rd Street, prevents travelers on the roadway from seeing traffic in the opposing lanes, and prevents seeing someone who might be trying to cross 3rd Street mid block, etcetera. He asks that the vegetation be cut back.
2nd vehicle is parking to the left of the driveway where there is no driveway causing a muddy mess.
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.
