The sidewalk in front of the dentist office at 221 east 7th street has a speed bump across it where the parking lot connects to 7th street. This is a tripping hazard for pedestrians.

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!

1415 E 3rd ST

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?

228-264 West Dodds Street

Case Date:
2/5/2017

Walking west on the south side of Dodds, I was struck by the Utility pole in the middle of the side walk as I approached the street ramp. This is clearly an obstruction and is not compatible with our policies of making sidewalks disability-friendly. While a blind individual might be able to manage this obstruction, a wheel-chair would be seriously impaired.

1307 W 3rd ST

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.

1155 W 3rd ST

Case Date:
2/5/2017

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.

Case Date:

A tree has fallen across the bike path along Sare Road south of the intersection with Olcott. It requires one to dismount your bike, lift the bike over the tree, and remount. This tree has been there for over a month.
