Three lights out on the B-Line: 61, 77, 153
The tree branches hanging over the sidewalk connecting the B-Line to the parking lot and Rail Trail are extremely low. I keep hitting my helmet on them as I bike through. It would be nice to get these trimmed back. Thanks!
Blue spray paint on one limestone block and the name "Lajon" spray painted in blue on at the north trailhead.
I would like to highlight what I believe to be one remaining safety concern along that B-Line bike path. It has to do with the bridge on Allen that crosses over the open drainage (right by the Traffic Division's garage). When approaching the bridge from either direction, there are significant gaps on either side where there is no barrier between the road and the drainage culvert. I am concerned that a cyclist -- perhaps one pulling over to allow a car to pass -- could misjudge their stopping distance and ride into the culvert. Additionally, there is no easy way for someone who does fall in to climb back out. I believe that the expense to fix this would be low. It appears that an attempt may have been made to create a curb at one point, but the work appears to be incomplete and not sufficient to stop a bicycle. However, something like a length of guardrail seems like it would be more than sufficient. Thank you for taking time to read my concern.

Lights 118 (Rogers and B-Line) and 149 (between Adams and Moravec Way) are not working.
The sidewalks between the B-Line Trail and Madison Street at the 3rd Street bridge are getting overgrown. Both sidewalks on the north and south sides of 3rd Street running west from the trail to Madison have low hanging trees and overgrown shrubs. There is also a lot of loose sand on the south sidewalk of 3rd Street overpass. As the only way onto the Trail at 3rd, this all makes for an adventure. On my Bicycle I have to be very careful. I'd like to see this trimmed. I bike commute on the trail from the south to the area of 3rd and Madison. My roommate bike commutes to Cowork. I see others use the sidewalks too. Could be much safer. Thanks!
Three out of four were fixed. But 118 is still out. Also, 89 is out. 4 lights along the B-Line Trail are out 151 & 149 between Adams and Moravec 124 between Fairview and Rogers 118 between Rogers and 8th St.
"Eat up kids" on a wall across from Le Petit Cafe. Warehouse building on B-Line has "Philandro" written on it as well. Unsure if one or both of these is private property.
