The bushes are overgrown into the trail in the parking lot at the Rail Trail / B-Line on Country Club. The branches are hanging over the sidewalk/path along the front of the parking lot making it tough to get through.
Address in report is the nearest address to the intersection - the resident complained that there is no formal crosswalk at the Moores Pike and Smith Road intersection.
There are multiple sections of the rail trail with large, loose gravel. This type of gravel is extremely dangerous for bicyclists. The latest section to receive this gravel is just north of That Road. Can the city look into having the large loose gravel removed, and replaced with the fine crushed gravel that used to cover the trail?

I was struck that there are pedestrian ramps on the south side of W. 3rd St. This indicates to me, as a pedestrian, that there is an intention for me to be able to cross Patterson Blvd. Having done this on multiple occasions, I take my life in my hands: there is a right-hand turning lane on Patterson at 3rd. Many vehicles turn right onto Patterson while traveling east on 3rd, and don't anticipate a pedestrian. There is no crosswalk at this location, which will be imperative with the new retail development just west of this intersection. While I doubt that there are many pedestrians crossing here, you may as well anticipate a crossing signal, which would be a kindness.
The new construction has contributed significant debris to the east-bound bike lane. This occurs with many of our development projects: when the apartments on N. College just north of the railway overpass were being constructed, the muddy (erosive) runoff and rocks were obliterating the bike lane. And during the recent downtown construction of ONB, the bike lane was full of rocks and crud. The debris remains on the north side of 4th, between Lincoln and Grant, at the alleyway cut.
sand and gravel in road. very dangerous for bicycles to turn here. please send street sweeper.
