The city has build the B-Link trail from Henderson to Walnut. But how do I get to Henderson? Are there any plans for a bike/pedestrian trail from Thornton and Huntington to Thornton and and Troy Court. On Google maps, it looks like there is a right of way there. Creating that bike path would extend the unofficial Arden/Thornton greenway to create an east west corridor from Southeast Park to the B-line.
Good job of snow removal and de-icing on the Allen-Covenanter Greenway and the B-line this winter. Hopefully we can find funding to de-ice all of the side paths around town in future, but this is a good start!
Clear creek trail from church lane to Tapp road in bad shape from high wind. Trash from tree limbs. I was not able to ride bike on Wednesday till I walked trail removing limbs. Still lots of small stuff. Needs cleaning very bad. Thanks
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?
The bike rack at Sahara Mart on 2nd street is not ideally located. It is afixed to a street sign. The street sign blocks one of the parking spots. The rack faces the street and if you park your bike on the side of the rack that you are supposed to, it hangs in the street. The other option is park your bike on the "wrong" side of the rack and have it hanging in the sidewalk in the way of pedestrians. Plus, the bike isn't well supported on that side, so the chances of it falling over are great.
The bike lane on Lincoln from 1st street to 4th street is covered in debris from the recent weather. Additionally, there is a giant pothole at the intersection of Lincoln and Smith. It would also be nice if people did not park their cars in the bike lane along Lincoln.
The hair salon businesses located near 1025 S Walnut St would benefit from a bike rack. The owners of the salons expressed interest in the rack but were unsure of landlord support for a rack. The location is ideal for a rack as it is near the B-line and bike boulevard on Allen.
I work at Motorwerks BMW I suggest that something is done for us to cross American Blvd! What is it going to take someone getting hit by a motorvehicle?! People don't even look at the pedestrain crossing signs! I think there would be a lawsuit that the city would not want to have on them! Get something done please
On the ramp east of the bypass that leads to the 8th street underpass there are two big black ropes hanging from a tree, right at face level for a cyclist. I nearly got smacked in the face with one as I was traveling down the ramp to go west under the bypass.
"new 7th street extension" Hello, I am a cycling commuter. I go from the east side to the west side of town and use 7th street and the new tunnel under bypass. The new 7th street connection to this tunnel has an extra high "lip" on the sidewalk/driveway entrance to this tunnel. If you could shave it down to create a more gentle slope for skinny bike tires it would make the ride from the road into the tunnel (going east) much safer. thank you.
