Web Form: There is a hazardous sheet metal sculpture of a chicken setting on flat pavement adjacent to the B-Line. It is between Kirkwood Ave and Sixth St. When riding a bicycle on the B-Line here it is easy to veer over onto this adjacent pavement. The chicken's sheet metal wattles hang down so that they can be right in the path of a cyclist's head. Two different cyclists have told me that they have collided with these sheet metal chicken wattles. In both cases their helmets prevented serious injury. One of the cyclists showed me that their helmet was messed up by the collision. Something should be done to eliminate this situation.

Dave responded to complaint, informing Ron that the statue is not within the path of the B-Line. The offset items including benches, art, and limestone blocks will not be removed at this time. The areas off of the designated path should not be used as a cut-through or riding area.

The Charlotte Zitlow plaza is not part of the bicycle/pedestrian B-Line Trail facility and should not be used as a bike cut through or shortcut to Morton St. The art pieces in this plaza are well removed from the bike/ped trail surface, in fact, further away then the limestone cubes, light poles, park benches, etc. There are no plans at this time to move the art pieces in this plaza.
