The green painted "bike box" and bike lane entering it are full of gravel and debris. It on the east bound lane of 7th Street just west of College - at the light for 7th.
Poison ivy is growing rapidly on the third yellow pole east of Jefferson on the south side of the pedestrian path. There's also more poison ivy along the north side of the path, further east, on the ground along the edge of the path.
East Fourth Street on the east side of Jefferson is blocked by tree limbs. The limbs hang down across Fourth (which at that point is just a pedestrian path) and extend down almost to the surface of the path.
There are no tree grates in front of the graduate. They are all trip hazards and not ADA compliant. Please have them install grates
New construction at the new sporting store has blocked the bicycle lane.
On March 2, 2016, I submitted a question about the lack of painted crosswalks for pedestrians crossing 3rd Street at Jordan Avenue. I received a prompt reply from Matt Smethurst, saying that the intersection would be torn up soon for stormwater improvements, and the crosswalks would be completed after that. There was indeed work completed over the summer, and the curbs now look very nice, but almost a year after my original question, there are still no crosswalks painted in the street. Are they going to appear sometime?
I think it is now more than three years since there have been proper crosswalks for pedestrians crossing Third Street at the Jordan Avenue intersection. It is more than two years since the first time I wrote to inquire about it (March 2016). I was told then that it would be done in the summer of 2016. I wrote again in early 2017, and was told it would be done in the spring of 2017. A friend of mine wrote in the summer of 2017 and was told it would be done in the fall. What the heck is going on? After the recent work at Third and Woodscrest, new crosswalks appeared immediately. For it to take years at a corner where the pedestrian traffic is much higher seems truly unconscionable.
Again. Tire-puncturing-broken-glass on 7th St bike route. Thanks for your attention.
Students going to TNMS often try to cross here instead of walking to the roundabout where the crosswalks are. Can a crosswalk be placed here?What about the school zone signs with flashing lights that positioned by other schools? Tri-North's school zone signs are still located on 11th street/Blair Ave where the old building was.
